Okay, but what if the report ends up being more Clinton BJ level than Nixon-level? Saying that you’ll basically begin impeachment proceedings once the report is issued ties your hands. People want blood, I get that, but the party’s supporters also want to see meaningful legislation on health care, electoral reform, immigration, living wages and a number of other issues.
I don’t know that the messaging coming from the party is “wishy-washy” - it seemed good enough to deliver a resounding victory in the midterms, and the Democrats who won in competitive districts focused on the issues that were important to their constituents, not impeachment.
None of this is meant to defend Pelosi, my opinion is just that it’s not the right time to focus on impeachment, and unless the report is really substantial (with more evidence of collusion than we’ve seen so far) then their chances of defeating Trump are better in an election than through an impeachment process that could backfire on them.
