There seems to be a lot of debate on this topic, so I'd like to know your thoughts and your opinion. Most House Democrats seem ready and willing to start impeachment proceedings. Nancy Pelosi seems to think it's better not to do it, at least right now.
What do you think?

(22,914 posts)The vast majority of people made up their minds about Trump years ago. His base isn't going anywhere, and the opinion of Trump of the other roughly 55%-60% is already negative. There is almost no middle ground where Trump is concerned.
If we expect impeachment to change the minds of a large number of people where his approval is concerned, we're going to be disappointed. What it may do, however, is influence the number of people who support impeaching him.
"Most House Democrats seem ready and willing to start impeachment proceedings"
What's your source for this assertion?

(642 posts)there are many reports about this in the news today, saying Pelosi is getting great pressure from her House caucus to start impeachment but she is resisting.

(22,914 posts)None of the "many reports" you're vaguely referencing show evidence that "most House Democrats" are calling for immediate hearings.

... and republicans not holding hearings after Starr repeat didn't educate ANYONE on why Clinton should have been impeached.
That helped Clinton ... democrats aren't going to go down that track.
On the other hand RED DON is historically unpopular with democrats and exposing him can lower numbers with independents are on the edge MAGA Cultist
