over/under on Dems that flip to a no vote on impeachment?
my guess is a dozen, plus 1 that will switch parties
the only thing we will see that is bi-partisan is an effort to defeat this farce of an impeachment

Rep. Collin Peterson (D-MN), chairman the House Committee on Agriculture, confirmed Saturday that he plans to vote against impeaching President Donald Trump over his contacts with Ukraine unless, in the unlikely event, additional information comes to light.
Speaking to The Globe on Saturday, Peterson, Minnesota’s most senior member, said, “unless they come up with something between now and Wednesday,” he will vote against impeachment and expects up to five other Democrats to join him.
“Maybe something will change. I doubt it,” the lawmaker added.
The Minnesota Democrat said he believes that the president has “not committed a crime,” while most of his Seventh District constituents oppose the U.S. providing aid to other counties. He also noted the so-called “whistleblower” complaint — authored by a partisan CIA analyst — regarding President Trump’s July 25 telephone with the leader of Ukraine includes “second-hand” information.
The complaint alleges the president pressured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate allegations of corruption against former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, in exchange for aid. Both world leaders have denied any pressure was applied to launch the probes,and the White House published a transcript of the call as evidence no quid pro quo occurred.
“This is dividing the country for no good reason, because he’s not going to be thrown out of office,” Peterson said of his colleagues’ impeachment effort, before asking: “Why are we doing this?”
“If people don’t like Trump, they can vote against him,” he added.

God is in full control of this. Praying Nancy, Pedo Schiff, and Nutless Nadler made a deal with the devil, and they are going down over this.
My prediction? Praying Nancy's days as SOTH are numbered.

I feel sure this is going the way Nancy wants it to.
They had to make a big show of trying to impeach the President for the rabid base, but ultimately she can’t chance this thing getting anywhere near the Senate. Mitch is too unpredictable.
By the end of the week, they’ll be able to throw up their hands, say ‘oh well, we tried’, and start moving toward a bullshite censure vote that means zilch, but saves a modicum of face.

I've thought this for a while now, but they are pushing forward full steam ahead it seems.

Nope. They are trying to peach 45.

I said this in another thread, they're all in, the river has been dealt and they don't even have a pair of deuces.
They have ZERO political capital left when this falls apart. Had they simply governed as the majority party of a split Congress, there were plenty of deals to be had from Trump's administration.
Some of them in battleground districts could have taken those deals back home and parlayed them into re-election or higher office. The ones that are smart enough to realize this have to privately wonder aloud what in the hell Schiff & Pelosi's plan is now.

I was downvoted for saying several Democrats will switch parties over this. I hope you are right.

Meanwhile Colin Allred is a yes vote. Damn you Pete Sessions for being lazy.
