Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has reached out to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to set up a meeting, presumably to calm the waters after some public sniping following a disagreement on border funding legislation.
My hope for the future would be for Dems to argue their differences in private instead of via social media or other media. There are many political and policy issues to tackle not the least of which occurs on a specified date in November of 2020âŚ
But, if the Four Horsewomen werenât making noise in public, would anything be happening? I suspect that they started making noise in private, and were told to sit down and shut up.
One of my sisters was the instigator of battles between the other two sisters. I get the reference - it does seem there is magnified attention to âDems in disarrayâ and what (I think) would have been ânot newsâ if two male representatives were âhaving discussions.â
And there should be strict rule that no Democrat ever grants an interview to Maureen Dowd, ever. I like Pelosi and was disappointed she did not remember that.
The Squad came out for Impeachment (which I took for opening up an Impeachment Inquiry). The article here references a Border funding dispute.
So long as I see some progress in Dem CongressPeople getting on board with the Impeachment Inquiry.
There should be a running total on this. The last I heard was 85 but that was a while back (118 is the 50% mark of Nancyâs Caucus).
Similarly there should be a running data point on âpersons in favor of Impeachmentâ. If I had my druthers, I would also include the Impeachment Inquiry as a question as well.
And this is how stuff like this should be settled. Why it took Trump to open his big mouth for this to happen is beyond me, but Pelosi seemed to snap into political mode and seized the advantage. She has much more to gain by leveraging AOCâs branding to frame Trump and help the Dems win in 2020.
Define âmistakeâ though. If they think that Pelosi isnât acting against Trump in the manner they think he should, the mistake could very well be assuming the role of the True Believer in the mythic Eleventy-Dimensional Chess.
