Originally posted by JimL View PostIt's a stalling tactic. It's not just a matter of voting, it requires timely debate, which of course republicans would drag out as long as possible. Pelosi understands this, even if you don't, and the one thing the President is counting on is to drag this on for as long as possible. Pelosi is also protecting a few vulnerable reps from voting just yet, but they'll get there when they're ready."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostSo allowing your opponents to argue against your position is a problem now? Something as important as a possible impeachment shouldn’t be rushed. What you really mean is you’re hoping the democrats can rush this through, before the election, so the can strap a red I, across Trump’s chest.
If the argument is that impeachment inquiries, hearings, and trials should stretch past the 2020 election that seems ... self-defeating for Trump supporters. A hurried, narrow impeachment hearing and quick trial in the Senate would be Trump's best hope, at this point.
Heaven help him if the inquiry broadens out to his taxes.

I disagree with the fear, considering the breadth and depth of Trump's corruption, but it's not rocket science.

‘A hurried one would be in Trumps best interest’
So why are you changing up what you said earlier? Is it in Trump’s best interest for it to be quick or not?"The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

Originally posted by lilpixieofterror View PostThat’s what I wonder. If it’s obvious that Trump broke the law and should be impeached, why rush it? Draw it out and make it obvious he’s corrupt to the core. I suspect the evidence isn’t that strong and the goal is to quickly rush it through before anyone notices or at they very least, hold a ‘Trump was impeached!’ Stigma over his head.
It keeps coming back to the question: What are the Democrats afraid of?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
