Poor Andy Schmookler, left disappointed by Democrats again.
He wants Democrats to fight President Trump.
But Robert Mueller failed to inspire them Wednesday.
Now Schmookler wonders if Nancy Pelosi will come through.
Maybe Speaker Pelosi, as she sometimes implies, is marshalling her forces in preparation for an eventual attack that will show that she and the Democrats she leads are fully determined to fight and win.
How about Jerry Nadler?
I have a small fantasy of Jerry Nadler deciding, with his committee, to move toward impeachment without Pelosi, if she never gives the green light (assuming the Committee can do that on its own).
Maybe Elizabeth Warren?
I continue to believe that pressing for impeachment is an important part of how these would-be Democratic standard bearers should demonstrate what kind of leadership they can provide for this battle.
(And for that reason, I welcome the news that Elizabeth Warren is pressing Pelosi on the impeachment issue, saying “Some things are above politics.”)
But you need warriors to go to battle.
That's not the Democratic party's strength.
