Just asking,
Predictions, did Pelosi's tactics work? Was it all worth it?
will not debate or discuss *argue* just like to hear your opinions.
Mine?
-Trump will stay in office
-Pelosi's tactics didn't work
-Was not worth it except for the sick entertainment value
-Additionally, I think it will only help Trump in 2020
ALL of your points are correct.
Pelosi, against her better judgement, got rolled into impeachment by the jihadists with TDS in her party.
After doing everything possible in the house to weight the process, the Democrats came up with a brutally weak set of impeachment articles, unable to convince one Republican to side with them. The first time in impeachment history where an impeachment was not bi partisan.
Seeing the weakness of the articles, Pelosi slowed the process that was said to be urgent by the Democrats. Her hope was to take enough time for something, anything to pop up to bolster the articles.
In addition, she wanted to muddy the waters as far as possible in the senate trial, to add credence to cryin chuck and his senate demands. She hoped, in some forlorn manner, to force Mc Connell to cave to her demands.
Another reason she held the articles, being a good establishment Democrat, is to chain Bernie Sanders to his desk in the senate for the entire duration of the trial there, and keep him from campaigning close to the Iowa caucus, while Biden id free to do whatever he wants. Last time around they found a way to block the nomination from him, this is just another play from the same playbook.
As time went by, and nothing changed, she had to cave.
The entire thing was a fiasco, and for those who claim Pelosi is a brilliant political tactician, she acted like a dullard in allowing impeachment, claiming the urgent need to complete it as quickly as possible, then proving that to be a lie by her actions, and except for tying up Sanders, she has failed.
In the long run, the mess the Democrats created will be to Trumps advantage
Years of preparing for impeachment by the democrats will be shown to be wasted in two weeks, or less, in the senate. Trump absolutely will not be removed, and the people have long since have begun to be tired of the whole thing.
