In reply to the discussion: Nancy Pelosi is a fugging genius [View all]GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)She always said Trump would impeach himself and totally ignored the pressure to impeach until the Ukraine thing made it apparent to all Americans he was abusing the office. Even republicans. They see it but just keep lying. Had that not happened she would never supported impeachment.
And now she is taking it slowly, slowing following all the steps and leads. Because she understands the real battle. 2020.
Due to gerrymandering and so many small, totally red states the republicans will never vote to convict. And she knows that trump will always have his 35%. And they always vote.
But they key was peeling off the Non-plugged in Americans and all the plugged in Independents. Creating a narrative of a corrupt president. She has done that.
Americans cant wait to vote in 2020. At this point I dont care if we keep getting more damning information out for the next 12 months and never impeach.
Since 2016 only 2 things have mattered. 2018 and 2020. We won the first. Speaker Pelosi is determined to win the second.
