Patience, grasshopper.

Speaker Pelosi has never lost a floor vote… because she knows how to bring her caucus around before holding the vote, and when to strike. There were supposedly dozens of votes against her speakership, but then there weren’t. She got ACA passed when there weren’t enough Senators to pass it.

She’ll get it done. Just not today.

Here’s the thing: It’s not a singular vote that just happens and she needs to spend time building up support for. It is a vote that takes place after weeks or longer of hearings devoted to establishing the basis for each article of impeachment. That she won’t take the step of starting those hearings, instead settling for remarks like how Trump is “not worth it,” may be politically safe but it’s also giving the impression that the DNC is afraid of him.
