MSNBC seems to be leaning toward impeachment probes today.

From Nicole Wallace to Steve Kornacki to Ari Melber they are now discussing the moral (not political) need for impeachment. They are saying you can't compare past impeachments to 2018 and this situation (apples and oranges). It is the constitutional duty of the Dems in Congress. They weren't singing this tune this loudly last Fri. What happened...did the public calling for it over the weekend change their attitude?

I saw him ranting about how impeaching Bill Clinton got him higher polls. Of course the two situations are completely different, but Steve never let up, ugh.

2. Clinton's popularity went up temporarily, but came back down

It came back down to the mid 60s, which is where it had been before impeachment. Clinton was a popular president, Trump is not and never has been.

And they've also seen the reactions of important Democrats, including Nadler.

On Sunday Nadler directly said he thinks Trump's behavior is impeachable. He said "if proved", but we all know he accepts that it has been proved.

6. I saw that too. He is more pro-impeachment today than on Fri.

I had to stop watching him when he kept interrupting a guest.
