Trouble for national Democrats?

Today's Washington Post has a story about Nancy Pelosi and her views on impeachment. Apparently she is afraid that pushing impeachment will be bad politics for the party, so she has told the caucus that impeachment is off the table.

This is very similar to what we've seen in Vermont, with the party base getting way ahead of the party leadership. Finally, after almost every county committee passed resolutions in support of impeachment (and particulary the "Rule 603" option), the State Committee passed a pro-impeachment resolution.

The national party should also realize that standing up to the Criminal in Chief is actually good politics.
