Jeff Hauser on Impeachment: Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party Are Just Unwilling to Take Any Risks

RUSH EXCERPT:

HAUSER: “Democrats are always afraid of doing something that will contribute to a backlash against them. They think doing things will backfire, and so they try to do only the most modest steps, only the most obviously super popular steps and they never think they can take control of Politics and change people’s minds. What’s amazing is that Democrats keep talking about how they should talk more about health care. And of course, they passed bills and Mitch McConnell won’t give them a vote, and that’s why those message bills about Democrats’ ideas on health care are going nowhere. But we also know that President Trump has bragged about how he is undermining the Affordable Care Act. Undermining the law of the land is a, as you mentioned earlier, the type of thing that Andrew Johnson was impeached for. So if Democrats want to have a conversation about Trump’s lawlessness and also want to talk about health care, they have an obvious opportunity to do so. They can talk about how Trump is violating the law of the land, the Affordable Care Act. But right now Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic Party, including but not limited to moderates, is unwilling to take any risks and are seen as the public as a capital claiting political party that is timid and doesn’t believe their own rhetoric about Trump’s lawlessness, and I think that breeds cynicism and is ultimately bad Politics as well as bad for the country.”
