Pelosi Fight With Trump Is Part Of Her Impeachment Strategy -- I think it's working

[Vidal]

It really does look like Pelosi is working her strategy very effectively. She's playing the long game, and getting Trump to react on a daily basis. Right now, she is clearly winning.

From Talking Points Memo:

Donald Trump leaned into his squabble with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Thursday, retweeting a Fox Business Network compilation of Pelosi tripping over her words during a press conference.

“He’s distracting from House Democrats’ great accomplishments,” Pelosi tweeted in response.

Per the New York Times, the dramatic escalation in their argument, starting with the dueling press conferences after a scuttled infrastructure meeting, was by Pelosi’s own design. She reportedly wanted to shift the national conversation off the impeachment debate roiling her caucus with an attack that would garner extensive media coverage.

Her aggression towards Trump is also a tactic to help her not appear soft on the President while dissuading her caucus from going after impeachment, since she’s been arguing that Trump wants them to start proceedings so he can be exonerated by the Republican-led Senate.

Here's Nancy's tweet where she again suggests an intervention:

By the way, Trump's "disapproval ratings" have been going up over the past week.

Per FiveThirtyEight.com, he's now got a net negative approval rating of minus 12.7, on average:

I think Nancy should just keep doing what she's doing, and let Trump keep losing in court. The truth will come out eventually, and when it does, Trump will be toast. Right now Pelosi is burning him, slowly and steadily.

1. The notion that Trump wants

Democrats to impeach him was debunked by one of the authors of one of his books. Sorry I don't remember his name, short, chubby, older, mild manned guy. He should know Trump since he has been around him writing one of his books. He stated that Trump would be devastated if he was impeached. He can't even bring himself to saying the word impeachment. As much as Trump lies why should we suddenly believe him when he says he wants to be impeached?

I think that impeaching Trump would give him a nervous breakdown.

I hope that Speaker Pelosi is going down the right path, Trump isn't slowing down any destroying our democracy.

2. Other than the mistep of she and Schumer in the hallway with two podiums after a Trump ...

speech last fall, she's been right on target.

3. That "compilation" was a debunked, DOCTORED video. Marshall should say so. nt
