For the last three years, there has been one narrative coming from Democrats on Capitol Hill. It has had different variations – the Steele Dossier, the Mueller investigation, collusion, obstruction – but all have centered around one general theme: Removing President Trump from office as quickly as possible. If one watched progressive mainstream media during this period, they were probably led to believe that it wasn’t a question of if but when President Trump would be caught having committed so many dastardly deeds, his removal was necessary.
It didn’t happen. The Steele Dossier was quickly debunked. The Mueller investigation wasted two years and tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to come to the conclusion that there was no collusion or legally demonstrable obstruction. The “collusion” mantra was replaced by the “obstruction” mantra, but again nothing has come from it. Not only is President Trump still in office, but a strong majority of Americans oppose the last-ditch efforts by Democrats to play their final card: Impeachment.
That case seems to be going nowhere. Despite the unhinged cries by lawmakers such as Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff, they best they’ve been able to put forth is an inconsequential hearing with Robert Mueller and a debacle of a hearing to “launch” their impeachment push using former Trump campaign manager Cory Lewandowski. To make matters worse for impeachment-friendly Democrats, there are signs the schism between Nadler and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is boiling over to the rest of their caucus.
‘Feel free to leak this’: Inside the Pelosi-Nadler impeachment schism
In a closed-door meeting last week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi stunned lawmakers and aides with a swipe at Democratic staff on the House Judiciary Committee.
Pelosi criticized the panel’s handling of impeachment in harsh terms, complaining committee aides have advanced the push for ousting President Donald Trump far beyond where the House Democratic Caucus stands. Democrats simply don’t have the votes on the floor to impeach Trump, Pelosi said.
“And you can feel free to leak this,” Pelosi added, according to multiple people in the room. Pelosi’s office declined to comment on the meeting.
But the divide within the party is greater than just “moderate” versus the growing radical progressive wing. They are on the verge of having a full year in control of the House of Representatives without a single significant piece of legislation under their belts. As poor of a job that her two most recent predecessors did (John Boehner and Paul Ryan), their ineffectiveness would pale in comparison. Boehner passed important legislation that President Obama signed and Ryan’s credits include the GOP tax cuts.
As for Pelosi, she has literally nothing of substance that has passed since her last run in the big seat when she passed Obamacare. That was nine years ago.
She and other Democratic lawmakers are feeling the heat with many pushing to actually do something other than failing to impeach President Trump.
Democrats say they want to prioritize legislation over impeachment. Here’s their chance
House Democratic leaders’ plan to release a top-priority prescription drug pricing bill on Thursday presents the caucus with an opportunity to refocus its messaging on legislating over investigating — one that many Democrats say is desperately needed.
Moderate Democrats in particular are concerned that the caucus’s policy work isn’t breaking through the impeachment cloud that has overshadowed the 116th Congress.
Nancy Pelosi realizes if all she has to her credit as Speaker is a failed Trump impeachment, her tenure will end abruptly following the 2020 election. Do Democrats even remember how to legislate or has TDS corrupted them completely?
