are truly against impeachment, sorry I don't buy it.

How many times has it been reported than Pelosi has had meetings and conference calls with her caucus regarding impeachment?

You don't think she has stressed the importance of presenting a unified front, tried to sway pro-impeachment Democrats to hold the line (just like Nadler), etc.?!?

Naivete...

AGAIN, that's how it works, in REALITY.

I only hope we have the opportunity in the near future, to see how a majority of those other 185 Democrats publicly come out for impeachment if Nancy does.
