So the only way the public can be galvanized is for Nancy Pelosi to do it? StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #7

No, it doesn't need to be Pelosi. But where is the effort to drive opinion? JHB Sep 2019 #13

The Democrats are all over the airwaves talking about this. StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #14

Who actually has the power to impeach Trump? Tom Steyer? standingtall Sep 2019 #18

So which is it? Are you complaining that Pelosi hasn't galvanized public support for impeachment StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #21

When people do the right thing regardless of public sentiment standingtall Sep 2019 #22

Chris Hayes actually said to Jamie Raskin tonight: StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #41

the same media was trashing the hearing yesterday as a disaster for Democrats JI7 Sep 2019 #43

Chris Hayes is an idiot. sheshe2 Sep 2019 #47

How about Adam Jentleson, Ex-Senate aide? sharedvalues Sep 2019 #63

lol, the areas of the country that like Pelosi already have reps that support impeachment JI7 Sep 2019 #30

Nancy Pelosi holds that much sway over the public? Amazing. I don't think the public thinks about emmaverybo Sep 2019 #60

To all the people sarcastically saying 'gosh, who knew she had so much power'.. Kentonio Sep 2019 #64

Sadly yes. sharedvalues Sep 2019 #67

If she were deliberately subduing impeachment talk and she were all powerful, why is there still StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #75

I didn't say she is 'all powerful' and obviously nothing is going to stop impeachment talk happening Kentonio Sep 2019 #83

And there's a huge difference between "deliberately subduing impeachment talk" StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #84

If you agree with her position, why not just say so. Kentonio Sep 2019 #86

This has nothing to do with her position or whether I agree with it StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #87

My argument is perfectly logical Kentonio Sep 2019 #88

Chris is right. Needed to be said. lindysalsagal Sep 2019 #65
