He does this damn near every night.

As if this whole giant mess was Speaker Pelosi’s fault!

I wish Jolly would get her name outta his mouth, and call out his GOP colleagues for the disaster they have put us in!

3. Anti-Trump Republicans or former Republicans

often have a very definite opinion about what Democrats should do. I often think they want trump impeached by the Democrats so they can have "their" party back from the trumpers. Most of them would be fine with pence. Pence scares me more than trump.

What he said was true. If Speaker Pelosi called a press conference and laid out the reasons for impeachment it would be powerful, plus it would unite every Democrat.

6. Most never Trumpers like David Frum and George Will are against impeachment

David Jolly seems to be the minority in that group. I suspect never Trumpers don't want Trump impeached so they can preserve their anti Clinton narrative post Trump. Repuke or not what he said was true Pelosi can move the needle on impeachment with the public if she were willing to make the case for it.

Why are Democrats always blamed when it’s the Republicans who are, best case, refusing to do their jobs and for many of them, actively aiding and participating in this administration’s crimes.

13. I trust Nancy Pelosi.

She’s a master strategist and will call for an impeachment inquiry when most Dems jump on board.

Mitch McConnells hypocrisy and failure to do his duties should be on the news every night, but no, it’s always pundits criticizing Pelosi and other Dems.
