That's real funny and a good line for a comedy routine...

but anyone who really believes Pelosi is dumb is going to find himself two steps behind the old girl.
There is no way Dems are going to beat Trump in 2020.
If you look at the situation and consider that outcome then nothing will be worse for impeaching Trump. Impeachment will be fruitless yet it remains dems' best effort.

A last ditch effort to stave off defeat.
They are going to throw everything they have at it because they dont have anything else.

I am a little unclear as to how removing Trump from office helps them gain power. I’d probably vote for any Republican over any Democrat running. Certainly Pence over any Democrat.
I guess we’ll see how this all unfolds.

The impeachment has nothing to do with "gaining power" or who "wins" in 2020?

I think it will help him get re-elected. She thinks it will help the Democrats win back power.
unfortunately, I am not the speaker of the house.
But make no mistake, it is about power.
Youve seen the Meme going around that the Democrats have tried to impeach every Republican president since Eisenhower. Snopes says that is FALSE! They didnt try to impeach Ford.
So only 5 of the 6 Republican presidents since Eisenhower have had articles of impeachment brought against them. None succeeded of course, but the the playbook is there.

the ballot in 2020. Basically, impeachment is dems' only hope and it delights the idiots who have faith that Trump will be removed from office.
Remember how you felt when Mueller said he found no evidence that any American conspired with Russia to fix the 2016 election? Try doubling that when the polls close and the vote is counted. Just imagine that CNN calls the election for Trump at the same time Mueller is testifying that he can't find evidence of collusion.
It will be fulfillment of prophesy, 'There will be whailing and gnashing of teeth.'

Maybe it's more that knowing they can't beat Trump pushes them toward trying to eliminate him from the 2020 election which gives them nothing more than 'no possible chance,' to win.
For the life of me I don't see any significant difference between my previous post and this one other than who I replied to.

He is going to want to run and hide from that in the near future. But, I guess that kind of language plays well in today's Party of Trump.
Lots of Republicans are playing the willfully ignorant fool.

Former British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli on Former British Prime Minister William Gladstone: “If Gladstone fell into the Thames, that would be a misfortune. If anybody pulled him out, that, I suppose, would be a calamity.”

"I don't remember our leaders talking like this about each other five years ago."
Do you think he was just taking a random sample of history? Like he meant it was really civil 5 years ago because it was a golden age of civility, but 10 years ago was off the chain rude?
I think most people would read "5 years ago" as "up until Trump our leaders didn't talk about each other like this".
