Pelosi Bonaparte sees her Waterloo

2019-12-12

[WASHINGTONTIMES] Thursday’s vote on impeachment says everything about Mrs. Pelosi’s speakership and nothing about Mr. Trump’s presidency.

This is Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Nancy <q>San Fran Nan</q> Pelosi

Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
’s Waterloo, and she knows it.

Pelosi Bonaparte has desperately tried to throttle down the impeachment freight train that the crazies in her party have been frothing about since Election Day 2016.

Not because she likes Mr. Trump or wants him to be president, but because she is a smart enough politician to know that impeachment will fail to remove the president and could very well cost Democrats control of the House ‐ not to mention assure Mr. Trump’s reelection.

In that case, Pelosi Bonaparte still goes down in history as the nation’s first female House speaker, but she also goes down as the first female House speaker to lose her majority ‐ twice.

Thursday’s vote is final proof that she has surrendered and allowed the inmates to take over the asylum.

Among those voting who clearly understands what Pelosi Bonaparte also understands is Rep. Collin Peterson, the longtime Minnesota Democrat who represents a district that voted for Mr. Trump by 30 percentage points in 2016.

In 1998, when the House voted to launch impeachment proceedings against President Clinton, Mr. Peterson voted in favor of proceeding, though he would later vote against actually impeaching the president.

What does it say that a guy like Mr. Peterson saw a case at least worth pursuing against the president of his own party back in 1998, yet he doesn’t see such a case worth pursuing against the president of his opposing party today?

It tells us that, like Pelosi Bonaparte, he knows Waterloo when he sees it.

#13 I can't help but think that the impeachment proceedings are being used to deflect what they thought would be a far more damning Horowitz report, but now they can't let go of the tiger's tail.

#10 If she didn't go for impeachment she would have been primaried from the left. She threw her party under the bus, and put her country through the grinder, hoping to save her own seat. I hope her efforts fail and her party splinters.

#4 LOL. They've been so blatant, they might as well have written that and no one would notice.
