The GOP voters have 31 reps that can stop impeachment. ..only 17 is needed to end it

Since Van Drew and Peterson are likely to still oppose impeachment when the final vote comes to the floor, and former Republican Rep. Justin Amash (I-MI)–who left the GOP to become an independent over impeachment–is likely to vote for impeachment, Democrats only afford to lose 17 more Democrats and still be able to pass the articles of impeachment. With four vacancies, legislation can pass the House–with all members present and voting–with 216 votes. That means if 17 of the remaining 29 Trump district Democrats join Van Drew and Peterson–or other vulnerable Democrats from Clinton-won districts like Schrader join enough of the Trump-won district Democrats to total 17 more defections–then Democrats could fail on impeachment on the floor of the House.

They wouldn't bring it to vote without the numbers. Heck, I doubt they pushed the inquiry without the votes in place.

They'll never bring it for a vote they'd lose.
If they think they have the votes, they'll bring it.
If they know they don't, they'll find some excuse never to hold it.

It’s going to fail. There is no way Dems hand control of the process and the narrative over to senate republicans going into an election year.

Trust me, the votes will be there to impeach. I mean I wouldn't be surprised to see a net 10 votes turn away from impeachment, but Pelosi would not proceed with articles of impeachment if she wasn't confident it would succeed.

Wait.
How many?

I don't think Pelosi would mind embarrassing Schiff.
He's in a super safe district and she could let her "moderates" earn some political equity in their red districts.
She has to know that impeachment is DOA in the Senate and maintaining control of the House is critical in 2020 for them.

GOP voters did not elect those 31 individuals. Independent voters did so.
Suggesting that the views of partisan Republican voters will sway these Reps? That is just stupid beyond words.
On the other hand, Independents do seem to be skeptical of the proceedings, and THEY could probably have an effect. The problem is that most Independents are not political activists and probably would be unable to even find a phone number for their Rep.

Republicans could end this shite today with a letter signed by 37 Republican Senators stating that they will not remove this President on these sham Articles produced by this unamerican sham process.
Pelosi can have her vote, McConnel can have his trial, Romney can puff his chest but we 37 Senators will never remove the President.
The outcome is hereby decided. Merry Christmas.
