Great. So if she has the votes, the argument against holding the vote is what?
There isn’t an argument, but there is a strategy.
Enough representatives have openly declared for impeachment that she has plenty of votes.
That has been true for a week now.
But the right wing noise machine has amped up it’s “vote now” meme in an effort to make the Trumpster base believe that there is some doubt on this point. There isn’t. But the Trumpster media is presenting the myth, trying to sow confusion, and avoiding the facts whenever possible.
Pelosi is holding her votes because, as just about everyone knows, there is nowhere for this Trump/Ukraine thing to go but down.
Two weeks ago, the White House was trying to pretend that there was no phone call.
Now, they’re faced with evidence of a months long conspiracy, involving two cabinet secretaries, the Attorney General, and possibly the Vice President.
The longer she holds her votes, the worst things get for the GOP and the Trump White House, which is clearly, and openly guilty.
The Trumpster call for a vote now is a sign of weakness. They know the longer this goes on, and the more that comes out, the harder it will be for the GOP leadership to hold their votes.
And there is little doubt in my mind, that the political calculus of dumping Trump is very much on Mitch McConnel’s mind.
