Why the Skittish Caucus is so Skittish About Impeachment.

130. It's true

there hasn't been much (the sentencing reform bill is about all that can be pointed to), but these Democratic seat-flippers can go back to their districts and say, "Well, I voted with the GOP here, here, and here, when it seemed reasonable," on procedural votes. That's why GOPers in the House try to attach things on to bills that the Senate will never pass.

The blame can be placed on the Senate. Impeachment is not a mere procedural vote. It's about these newly-flipped seats staying flipped, and the freshmen Representatives keeping the job. They fear that if they fall in line with the AOC's in Congress, they will be ousted in 2020.

I'm not saying that it's the best possible outcome, but I was trying to answer a question as honestly as possible.
