I can't wait to see how the Democratic candidates deal with this basis for impeachment. I'm sure it will work out great for Biden in particular.
Impeachment is a gift to Warren that also nukes Biden's "return to normalcy" narrative and ensures we are debating his proximity to corruption for months. It's also what the media and Trump want, so Democrats are doing it.
I cannot fully express how pleased I am to see this happen.
This is what happens when a party listens to podcasts more than it listens to swing voters.
Pelosi's grip loosens, her attempts to slow-walk are rejected. She's the smartest Democratic politician alive not named Bill Clinton, and her caucus refuses to listen.
Pelosi has been the steady hand preventing the Democrats from going all Terrence Howard, but she can't stand forever against the fully armed and operational force of the corporate media.
Support for impeachment has actually gone down in the past two years. Politico reported it was at 43 percent in May of 2017. It's at 37 percent today.

In Daring Move, Pelosi Risks Democratic Majority In Attempt To Make Mike Pence President
Two big problems I believe exist, while lacking the drill down polling data to prove it: The overwhelming majority of Americans in swing districts do not support impeachment; the majority of those who do support it think impeachment = removal.
Those close to Pelosi already spinning this as her being forced into it against her instincts.
If she was confident it was the right move, this would not be the narrative.

Not sure how Swing Counties were defined in this poll, but: yeeeeeeah. Not good.
Democrats will respond to the release of the transcript by saying that it's not enough, and their allies in the media will concur. This is getting great.
HAHAHAHA
Swing state impeachment polling from OnMessage, the firm with the best record in recent years for winning swing states:
I had two pollsters reach out to confirm my suspicion regarding impeachment: voters who support it also think it removes the president. How will they react when it fails to do so?
