by double digits. That's why they're on that list. Tulsi Gabbard was on the list which was the main one with no justification since her district is very blue.

This one I'm using isn't actually printed, I stole it from twitter. I suspect that the McDonald's corporate legal dept. would have a problem if this were ever printed and distributed.

Peterson, considered one of the most conservative Democrats in Congress, represents a sprawling, agriculture-heavy district in western Minnesota that Trump won by 30 percentage points. Peterson himself won reelection by a 52% to 48% margin in 2018, and faces a stiff challenge from former GOP Lt. Gov. Michelle Fischbach in 2020.


This may not be the greatest Democrat in DC, but he is representing his district and could easily be thrown out next year. Should we insist he commit suicide by endorsing impeachment when his vote may not be needed? The other 10 are pretty much in the same situation. Dem congress critters in red districts are an endangered species and should be protected, not hunted.

Except Tulsi. She changed to pro impeachment for a similar reason-- she is being primaried in a blue district.

No Democrat nor patriotic American should oppose impeachment hearings. If political expediency is allowed to dictate ethical and moral conduct or allegiance to the Constitution then they do not belong in any elected office. Stop being driven by Republican created memes. This will not be good for Trump. It will be good for the USA, for all people regardless of political affiliation.

She has 2020 constantly on her mind. We must hold the house.

Just imagine where we'd be today without the blue wave of the midterms...
