As if the impeachment hearings were "fair" ..... Pelosi is no dummy - she realizes the Democrats may have already committed political suicide by their votes on impeachment , and as the article states, "So why put 25-35 vulnerable Democratic House members in marginal or pro-Trump districts in harm's way? (More to the point: why should she put her tenure as Speaker of the House at risk?) Why engage in a process that will enrage the President's supporters and give him a rallying cry for his re-election campaign?" ..... so not sending the papers is more about saving her own neck because her worst possible nightmare could be losing those 35 "vulnerable" seats, and don't for a minute believe that Trump won't campaign his ass off in those districts ..... as I've stated in other posts, in their crazed zeal to impeach Trump, some Democrats may very well have committed their political suicide ..... If you think the idea of having Hillary become president wasn't a big enough "rallying cry for Republican voters in 2016, just watch what we do at the polls next November .....
