re: #24 Belafon

You stated that the polls indicate that Schumer could get 67 votes in the Senate for impeachment. I pointed out that high level support among the public for something has done almost nothing to move Republicans in the Senate.

Well no, my argument was that we’re told impeachment is only an option if the odds are so in our favor (high majority in polls, 67 votes for removal) that it’s a certified win. And so “later” has really translated to “never,” which is a political liability when you’re trying to build a coalition upon more than just the “mushy middle” who just wants to know that the stores will be open on Monday.
