Pelosi isn’t the one who is nervous about anything. She isn’t connected to multiple felonies in the Stormy Daniels hush money case. Pelosi has no criminal liability anywhere.

It’s not going to work. Everybody saw this playbook in 2016 with Lyin’ Ted Cruz and Crooked Hillary Clinton. The sequel is never as good as the original, and Trump’s silly nicknames are played out.

Speaker Pelosi has it right. Impeachment is too good for Trump. He belongs in a jail cell. She has tapped into Trump’s biggest fear and set the president off on a days-long tantrum that is showing no signs of slowing down.
