You don't count the impeachment votes before the impeachment hearings, you do it after the hearings.

DUH!

The stupidity and lack of courage in this country is what will bring us down. After Mueller testifies the Democrats must start impeachment hearings and see where it leads. Not to do so will wreck our democracy.

The evidence is there, it is overwhelming. Show it to the American people in impeachment hearings and if they decide to let Trump slide for all he has done, so be it. Let the American people meet their fate. If they decide to destroy themselves like the American people have done before, that is exactly what should happen.

1. Good point

DURec

[uponit7771]

2. +1, 95 votes even before the Mueller hearing is pretty good

[StarfishSaver]

8. It's good but this isn't horseshoes

And even if it were, it's not even close.

But support is building.

19. And how many of them would there be if 1 flipped

They are holding as a block. But they have a leader holding them steady to protect the president. What would the count be if that one leader flipped?

3. not me

I kinda' like to have my headlights on when driving at night. Thanks.

4. Leadership needs to LEAD in crafting the narrative to shape public opinion

Not following the polls

Pelosi should create cover for the swing state reps to cite to open an inquiry no later than Labor Day...

13. THIS!

5. But they have to go on Summer Recess!!!

[LiberalFighter]

6. The right road to travel.

You would think people would want someone like Trump to fall hard.

[StarfishSaver]

7. You DO count the votes to open an impeachment inquiry before a vote to open an impeachment inquiry

And right now, there aren't enough votes to open an impeachment inquiry.

9. I am so over the spineless coward Mueller, what a great American disappointment.

[KPN]

11. You may be totally correct about this - but let's wait

to see what happens next week, shall we? I’m pretty much where you are on Mueller, but I’m willing to wait one more week before calling him a spineless coward or worse. If he disappoints, it will be hard for me not to think worse — like another cog in the traitorous cabal.

[Pepsidog]

22. That's fair, sure hope I am wrong about him.

[yaesu]

10. ok, lets have the hearings, he breaks laws every day, how much proof do we need? nt

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. Some real courage, conviction and leadership is critical right now

We have the truth and facts on our side.

[DemocracyMouse]

14. Yes. And it's time to impeach.

[X_Digger]

15. Both parties have become timid about voting.

If an issue doesn't have the votes to pass, it rarely gets raised.

Fuck that, I want people on record voting 'No'.

[gtar100]

16. That is so right.

I detest our obsession with polls. Polls are not the final vote. Let them make the case, then we can vote and find out. And no, we are not entitled to know the results beforehand. It's far too excessive now. In this case poll results are being used to justify suppression of the right and duty of the House to conduct oversight.

17. Rec.

I hope your post stays up.

18. in reviewing all the great legislation passed by Nancy Pelosi while speaker during Dubya's

reign, it is astounding to realize now how fragile it all is/was and how important it is to get an impeachment inquiry underway. All the great legislation in the world is rendered impotent while corrupt, greedy, malicious monsters destroy the rule of law.

[kentuck]

20. Common sensical.

[spanone]

21. K&R...

[mountain grammy]

23. My Rep supports impeachment hearings now!

I'm calling all Colorado Reps..

[ProfessionalLeft]

24. I couldn't agree more, shockey

[triron]

25. Our democracy does not exist.

[fescuerescue]

26. vote counting never stops and it starts very early

We are the American people. You and I and everyone else on the this board. We can see the exact same things that every other American in this country can see.

And we know that he's guilty based only on what we see. What we see today. Congress, who can see even more right now also know that he's guilty. Unfortunately, the American people do not decide this. Congress does.

The reality is that the voting counting starts early and never stops. Bills and impeachments aren't decided on vote day. It's decided everyday. It's more like a trial in the media than it is a jury trial in court.

Nancy Pelosi already has determined that the trial has been lost, and she feels that only greater harm to -us- will come by actually holding it. Think of Pelosi as our lawyer who is telling us that settling out of court gives a better result than the trial.

That's a pretty uncomfortable reality. But it's our reality.

27. Mueller's testimony will be a non-starter. Don't get your hopes up. It's just round two.
