New Jersey Democrat Jeff Van Drew announces he will vote AGAINST impeachment

Breaking news on CBSN.
Rep. Jeff Van Drew, one of two Democrats to vote against formalizing the impeachment inquiry, told me he plans to vote against all the articles of impeachment "unless there's something that I haven't seen, haven't heard before."
Van Drew warned Democrats to "be careful what you wish for" and he added that impeachment "is tearing the nation apart. … And I want to bring people together." Van Drew said he would have preferred a censure vote so they could "move on."
Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson, the other Democrat who also opposed the inquiry, said this when I asked if he'd vote to impeach: "I don't have an idea what they're doing." And he walked on the floor.

Uh ohh Democrat Elissa Slotkin is now "undecided" as her 2020 election results are now "greatly diminished". She pushed for the Impeachment.

Any republican vote in favor for impeachment is a bad idea. It gives a certain legitimacy to a ridiculous proceeding. The GOP should play it straight and vote against it.

And this is Exhibit A as to why nobody respects Congress: too many idiots wetting their finger and holding it up to gauge the direction the wind is blowing.

That makes for at least 2 dozen Dems on the fence (those identified in this thread). What's the number needed to shut this down?
Posted on 12/12/19 at 2:28 pm to Bard
Not sure but I think I heard/read 30...
Posted on 12/12/19 at 2:33 pm to dallasga6
They need 216 and have 233 (+1 independent)

No it doesn't. They can go on camera right before and right after and say "we want Trump defended properly and the only way to do that is through the Senate b/c the Dem committees won't allow the truth to come out". That's a win win IMO

Somebody has done a nice job running a bunch of ads around here with Slotkin and a few others, warning them not to be obstructionist.
