Had we impeached before Ukraine it would of bit us in the ass. And Nancy knew that and would have held out to the election.

But this changed everything. An easy to understand Abuse of Power that can be explained in 3 sentences that all Americans can understand. And he admitted it. And to the detriment of our National Security to help him win an election.

Nancy saw that and jumped because there is no better politician in America than Speaker Pelosi. Ukraine changed my mind as well.

You know who else is a fantastic politician if also a complete evil asshole? McConnell. And notice he is not out front defending trump? He knows this is bad and likely to get worse. Not saying he will ever allow his caucus to support impeachment. And while giving the ‘correct’ statements is keeping his cards close to the vest.

I think he knew this was possible with trump from the git-go. He is focused on keeping the Senate. Nothing more.
