Pelosi having to be pressured into the proceedings supports my point, though. She understands like I do that it's very possible this will backfire. Her position wasn't that she doesn't want Trump impeached, because we all know she does, but rather that it is the political ramifications that are driving her actions.
Also, anti-Trump sentiment and thinking impeachment is proper are two very different things. Sure, many house dems were voted in because constituents don't like Trump. That's a long leap from there to impeaching a sitting president. I haven't liked several presidents in the past during my voting years. I have even found some to have acted so far from the constitution that it's a serious travesty. But I also didn't think impeachment was appropriate. That is for specific criminal conduct, not just because I don't like their policy, or even find it to be abusive to the constitution. I'm a strong believer in the political process. If constituents don't like something, their first and best recourse is to vote that person out of office. Impeachment was not intended to be the mechanism for removing politicians you don't like. It was designed to pierce the immunity a sitting president has as it relates to criminal charges.
