On a call with her caucus on Sunday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) cited rapidly shifting public polls on impeachment and encouraged her members to adopt a “solemn tone” when discussing the issue.
He will be impeached. Will he be convicted by Moscow Mitch’s senate is the question. Twenty R senators are needed to vote to convict, and all D senators even the squishy ones from red states.
Much has been made of Pelosi’s reluctance to come around on impeachment, but her patience may bode well for the politics going forward, especially among swing voters.
It turns out Speaker Pelosi is better at politics than Twitter is. Next time I think I know better than she does, I will try to maintain a sense of intellectual humility… maybe I am wrong. I think the world could use more such humility, not less.
