They can't take a vote and they can't disappoint the radical left.
What's a demented old woman to do?

Because they don’t follow rules or laws. The media is there to assist

Dems would sacrifice those useful idiots in a heart beat if it meant they could remove Trump. They are simply shielding the truth not allowing the Pubs to investigate.

Bongino talked about this very thing today. They haven't had a full House vote because THEY DON'T HAVE THE VOTES.
Full stop.
End paragraph.
Trying to hold a vote now when the votes simply aren't there results in an either/or that Dems can't survive:
If the impeachment vote itself fail in the House, then Trump is vindicated and will continue to dunk on them on Twitter and the campaign trail for the next 13 months.
If they do have the votes (and even if they still didn't) then red state Dems are on the record as voting to impeach a duly elected POTUS because reasons, and this gives the RNC 13 months to provide a viable candidate to take those seats away.

Democrats who are back home for two weeks in districts that supported President Trump in 2016 are having to answer questions on impeachment – whether they like it or not.
At one town hall, Illinois, Rep. Sean Casten (D-IL) was confronted by a woman who “tore into” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), accusing them of “lying their little butts off,” according to a report by Politico.
She said the whistleblower complaint “looks like a bunch of 13-year-old girls gossiping.”
At another event, another constituent asked Casten why he was not condemning former Vice President Joe Biden’s actions. Trump has said Biden and his son Hunter Biden should be investigated for their actions in Ukraine. Biden pressured Ukraine to fire the chief prosecutor, who had opened a corruption investigation on a Ukrainian gas company that employed his son for over $50,000 a month. The Bidens have denied any wrongdoing.
Casten has told his constituents that there’s “no there thereon the Biden story,” and that a voter who asked him about Ukrainian meddling in the 2016 election was espousing a “deep-down-the-rabbit-hole, crazy conspiracy theory,” according to Politico.
Fox River Grove resident Steven Wood said he remains convinced that Trump did nothing wrong. He and his wife had a heated exchange with Casten, after the lawmaker called Trump’s immigration policies “racist” and his claims about Biden “crackpot conspiracy theories.”

Because of the red wave it would for sure cause in 2020?

If they vote, Dems lose control of the narrative.

Because if they vote to begin the Impeachment process, then Republicans get to take part in the investigation, depositions, inquiries, hearings... And every time the Republicans get involved, the truth ends up coming out and destroying the dems narrative.

Rush covered this a bit today; Even if they vote and pass it, Repubs don't necessarily get to ask a single question or call a witness, Queen Nancy gets to make up the rules as she goes.
But if she went to that extreme to formally open an inquiry and the minority was invited to only watch.... the fallout from something like that would be spectacular.

Why vote, they are doing the investigations and "Impeachment" without a vote now so why keep going. I wish the Republicans would get together with the radical left and force a floor vote. Call for a voice vote then roll call to get it on record.

Only if Pelosi allows it.
My guess, she won't.

Pelosi's son is involved in the Ukranian shite. SHe is desperate....
She has no choice but to impeach....otherwise her little boy is fricked.....

It's a tough one to call. I believe Nancy is all in on impeachment but I don't believe she has the votes to go forward.
When I said "she won't" I wasn't referring to the impeachment itself, I think she will if she can, rather I was talking about allowing the GOP to participate. That would still be up to her.

No- in a real impeachment inquiry, GOP would have pretty much the same authority as Dems. Thats why she's using this make-believe inquiry.

That doesn't mean they are concerned. Of course there are thousands of anti-impeachment people in those districts. Doesn't mean they are the majority.
