1. Why the @HouseDemocrats voting to save @POTUS Trump may be making a career ending decision.

First, they are predicting how the electorate will view Trump in 11 months. Betting that more terrible facts don't emerge by then is bad bet.

2. Second, we saw in the 2018 midterms and subsequent other elections, Trump's base is holding but the key independents are running from him. Again, these Democrats are betting that will reverse and there is nothing to suggest that Trump will begin to act like a normal president,

3. conduct necessary to attract independents.

Third, and related to the above, it's a near certainty Trump has been taking money from Russia and ISIS affiliate's in Turkey. He has been successful in blocking the House access to the proof but unless the @SCOTUS throws away

4. the entire case law of Presidential power, it is unlikely that the facts will not be fully exposed in the next 11 months. Because the House did not include the kitchen sink in these Articles, they will be free to impeach him again so the idea that the quest for his documents

5. will become moot is simply wrong.

Fourth and finally, these vulnerable Democrats need every Democrat who voted for them last time to come out to support them. They could get a #MAGA tatoo but being a Democrat they won't get Trumper's votes. The independants are not

6. supporting Trump based on recent elections and polls. These members are killing their own chance to be re-elected. They need to vote their conscious on whether they want foreign governments used to cheat on elections. If they do, then good riddence to them. If not, then

7. vote to impeach and @TheDemocrats will rally to see you keep your seats. @TeamPelosi @RepJerryNadler @RepAdamSchiff @RepJeffries
