Pelosi Gives in and Says Dems Should Stop Prioritizing Investigating Trump

Well, it seems that after all the efforts by Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Chuck Schumer, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats are finally getting wise to there errors. Nancy Pelosi, in particular, believes that it is time for the Democrats to focus on healthcare and jobs and stop pushing investigations into President Trump. Despite this, she claims he will not be reelected this year.

The New York Times reported in part:

In a series of private meetings over the past week, and in written instructions she distributed to lawmakers Thursday before a recess this week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi made clear that the emphasis must shift.

“Health care, health care, health care,” the speaker said, describing the party’s message during a recent closed-door meeting, according to a person in the room who insisted on anonymity to reveal private conversations. She said they had to be laser-focused on getting re-elected: “When you make a decision to win, then you have to make every decision in favor of winning.”

The move is particularly striking given how aggressively Mr. Trump, emboldened by his acquittal by the Senate, has moved to take revenge on his perceived enemies and push the limits of his power. But just as they did before the 2018 midterm elections, Democrats appear to have decided that focusing on Mr. Trump’s near-daily stream of norm-shattering words and deeds only elevates him, while alienating the swing voters they need to maintain their hold on the House and have a chance at winning the Senate.

Given that the House has already taken the most powerful step a Congress can take to hold a chief executive accountable — impeachment — Democrats reason that there is little more they can do. Some say Mr. Trump brings enough attention to his conduct all on his own.

Yes, it appears Democrats are finally realizing what most Republicans likely claim they knew all along, they were simply kicking against the goads. It leaves one to wonder if President Trump does get reelected this November if Democrat-led efforts to have him impeached and remove over a phone call with the Ukrainian President actually helped Donald Trump, although that remains to be seen.
