... by saying that she has her House Impeachment Managers selected, and now it's all waiting on him.

If she did that, McConnell couldn't be pointing fingers at her and blaming her for the holdup. In all truth, Nancy Pelosi's role is nearly over, and she surely needs to act in tandem with Schumer from now on.

I hope McConnell gets so hamstrung on this impeachment that he can't even go home to campaign for the next 4 or 5 months. Wouldn't that be delicious?!
