    It's kind of astonishing that even now Pelosi isn't leading but is reluctantly trailing along, with Democrats in moderate districts who face real political risk on impeachment now ahead of her.https://twitter.com/jmartNYT/status/1176514266180046850 …

    As one Dem operative notes, this is the opposite of how Hill votes usually pile up: there is NO whipping from leadership, it’s rank and file members coordinating w one another, swallowing and stepping out there.

        I’m not at all convinced that the Democratic leadership has the ruthless determination and modern communications savvy to take on Trump plus Mitch and the boys plus Fox plus all the rest of the trolls.

        I agree. Democratic/liberal establishment has been leading with technocracy for decades. The GOP has cynically ties this up in knots. I feel more strongly than ever that leading with our hearts, with passion, from our values will break through by virtue of honest humanity.

        This is a very grave decision and allowing the individual to decide without pressure from leadership may be the right tact. However, I do hope she comes out strongly in favor already and backs those up - who have taken a stance. On with it already.

        Just as @neeratanden slurred Tulsi Gabbard today, @SpeakerPelosi is running interference for the right wing.

        No, she’s protecting her moderates because the Democrats also need to maintain the house. She’s letting them decide on their own for such a major political decision.
