So, who makes the decisions for your leadership these days? Anyone with a brain or anyone who has an understanding of the values of middle America these days? Do you know any middle Americans who are into the idea of public courts of opinions being all that needed to convict or remove an elected from office or any who are really interested in mob rule these days. I understand that the liberal Democrats are more third world oriented and have become accustomed to getting what they want from insecure/ squeamish people/ politicians but the time for that has changed.

I was never a Clinton fan, but the GOP Attack Dog went after both of them relentlessly. I don't remember you ever showing the same lack of support for those efforts, and some, like Benghazi and Fast-and-Furious, were shown to be meritless, but both were put on heavy replay for months. BTW, were you in favor of convicting Bill, because the evidence available in the public sphere is already well past the point of conviction in a court of law.

There is a reason why Pelosi is doing what she's doing right now.  I mean, they would have to do so in a way that traditional Democratic voters understand that the issue is not with them or their portion of the Democratic party these days.

Most Democrats are solidly in-line with the impeachment process -- many wanted more and sooner. Independents may need some reassuring, but that applies to both sides of the argument.
