(6,252 posts)McBath - voted for inquiry, wait and see
Golden - spouting rw talking points
Peterson - thinks there's no stopping the coup
Van Drew - we need more time!
Torres Small - sounds more pro impeachment than the others
Rose - still believes we can reach across the aisle (Ha!)
Brindisi - no rush
Horn - has not been paying attention for years apparently
Cunningham - slow down, be 'conservative'
McAdams - (see Horn)
Kind - believes in the r's to do the right thing (Ha!)

(31,261 posts)Give them a freaking break. You want a republican in their seat? Once a shitload of evidence is compiled against Trump, they will have cover to vote to impeach his ass.

(32,731 posts)they will not get a pass from me if they vote not to impeach. There's zero doubt at this point that trump has committed (and continues to commit) impeachable acts. Anyone who votes against impeachment just to save his/her job, when the future of our country is on the line, is useless and ultimately complicit in trump's crimes.

(630 posts)Nothing for Collin Peterson, Ben McAdams etc to gain by going strong on impeachment at this time. They'll be there if absolutely needed.
