Its clear Democrats have no leader left that can challenge Trump in the 2020 elections, and the only way theyll ever win is to impeach him which is really sad.
The vote to authorize the impeachment inquiry only shows that the impeachment is a partisan hit job, which should strengthen Trump's political power, and increase his chances of re-election.
Until and unless there is strong bipartisan support for impeachment, the party pursuing impeachment is going to be harmed in doing so. The vote
against impeachment was bipartisan.
