In reply to the discussion: When will these arrogant men realize Speaker Pelosi is playing Rope-a-Dope with them like a master? [View all]PufPuf23
(8,771 posts)69. Pelosi is wrong not to move strongly into impeachment ASAP
Every moment lost weakens the Democratic position in the 2020 election and strengthens Trump and the GOP and the damage caused by the mis-adminisitration continues.
If Trump starts a hot war, we are in huge trouble as a nation.
Pelosi was wrong to take impeachment off the table with GWB.
Impeachment of Trump has never has been dependent on the Mueller Report.
To not impeach Trump damages the position for the Democratic party in the 2020 elections.
