      Um, speaking for myself: I always thought focusing on Russiagate (as against health care) was a mistake. But Cohen conviction & Mueller Report both show Trump committed crimes & I think it's a bad message to say a president can get away with crimes.

      Mueller as impeachment fodder is purely lemons to lemonade stuff at this point. That investigation never should've been the primary grounds for a potential effort, but that's what they pushed to the public. So.

      I don't know what this means. I was for impeachment while Democrats were still open to it, just for different reasons. I've been consistent. The party has not.

      All I can say is that I support impeachment because I believe it's the right thing to do and because I think it would reap political dividends for Democrats and not because I think it's cool and fun to criticize House Democrats for no reason.

      Right, but I'm not even working backwards from those disagreements. It's not a position I came to out of reflexive disappointment in Nancy Pelosi. I've actually given it a lot of thought, I think.

      I have generally noticed a change in my most leftie friends from “Trump is a distraction from the real issues” to “he has to be impeached ASAP.” And the same thing in much commentary on here. I think the change is real and interesting, even if totally warranted!

      I wouldn't even say impeached as soon as possible. I just want him held in check and investigated. I think impeachment is best way to do that but if Congressional Dems were in full throttle investigative mode without impeachment that would be fine.

          isn’t a lot of the answer “we should focus on issues to regain power but fight Trump (among other things) once we have that power”? I’m sure there’s some hypocrisy/hipsterdom/whatever mixed in too, but “the midterms” seems like an obvious & understandable pivot point

          this is true, and I think resonates with the lefty portion of the Dem base
