Dear Dems who voted against Impeachment,

You won't ever win over Republicans, and you've pissed off your Democratic base of supporters. So, please tell me where your support will come from.

Stop listening to bad pollsters and consultants.

the guy from MN us in a +25 Trump district. If so, I'll cut him some slack. Trump was still impeached.

Republicans are still going to hold him accountable no matter what, and now the Dems in his district are going to hate him as well.

He's stupid.

If Colin Peterson only voted against impeachment in an attempt to hold on to his seat, he is a coward and I hope he looses his seat. If he truly believes that Trump is not guilty of the two counts I would be more understanding. I cannot believe how one can think this based on the evidence presented, but whatever.

I have nothing but praise for Michigan Representative Amash for voting his conscience - a true American patriot. I'm sure I hate most of his political views, but I salute him for putting the nation first and party second. In all likelihood he will probably loose his seat in his red district but may history prove him right.

It seems all she is trying to do lately is appeal to the right which makes no sense since this is a Democratic primary.

New York Rep. Jose E. Serrano, who was hospitalized earlier this month after a fall, did not vote.

He is also suffering from Parkinson's disease.

I'm not sure of his present health status, Google was not immediately helpful.
