Will the Democrats get enough votes to impeach, or no?

I know a lot of people say it is a done deal, but I say no. I don't think they want a trial in the Senate, and they don't want to be a party to this because history won't look favorably on an a partisan impeachment that is based on hearsay.

I think there are a few Democrats that are looking at this and saying, "This is all we got? I can't justify voting for it."

If it moves to the senate it will pull candidates off the trail. Which it seems they would try very hard to make news in the senate trial

The other side of that is that they cannot bail on it now. From day one, they were committed to this political hit and there is no way to bow out gracefully. They are looking for the least damaging exit, and have determined (probably correctly) that their least harmful strategy is to blame the Republicans for being partisan and "not doing their Constitutional duty."

The impeachment process will be forever tainted as a result.

If they vote to impeach, they will get exposed in the Senate and absolutely destroyed

So no, they will not be voting for impeachment.

I hope they vote and get it done. The senate and POTUS will have a field day.

You're wrong here though...these new age Democrats are struck to party lines and will get torn apart by the media if they don't conform. Plus, these deep state Dems have too much hate for Trump and are blind to the obvious.

It's already been tainted I/m/o. They were talking about impeaching Trump since the day he was elected.

You have a few D's who Pelosi has pulled off to the side and told to vote "present" without fear of reprisal by their own caucus.

The Mueller report begat Durham/Horowitz. They dont want the equivalent played out in the Senate on public television.

No. Dems running in red districts will taut their no vote to get re-elected to continue the resistance for two more years.

With the Counter Muh Russia Collusion Coup starting soon, I think they go full tarded libtard and PEACH 45. There will be significant Democratic defections.

Again, I say: The Dems have zero intention of voting on impeachment.

Like so many other things, they don’t want the outcome. They want the issue.

I think this is already in the works regardless of what they do at this point.

What is the other option instead of voting and taking it to the Senate?

They can vote and fail to get the necessary votes to take it to the senate. This would make them look weak, especially since they've been telling us how the evidence is "overwhelming" and "irrefutable" that President Trump is trouncing all over The Constitution.

They can vote to censure, which is almost as bad as voting for impeachment and not getting it.

They can not take a vote at all. If they do this, they will try to be magnanimous, and blame it on the Republicans for being so damn partisan and also they don't want the perception of it being a political witch hunt during an election year where the "People" will do the right thing and throw him out of office...

the game plan all along was to never get to a vote

they wanted to parade witnesses out to lie and pretend trump is guilty of doing his job and thats somehow against the law

then, no matter how that goes, short of nation wide protests and demands trump be removed from office, they will announce their is more then enough compelling evidence trump is guilty and they let the american people hear that evidence so now its up to the voters to remove him from office since impeaching him just before the election isnt a viable option

this has been the game plan all along from the start
