What if the Republicans think the delay is a good thing too [View all]
The delay could be Pelosi flexing but it is possible that it is a safety to tame Trump's most insane urges.
Today there is a way to remove Trump from office that won't take months, there wasn't last week. Pelosi can send the articles to the senate, McConnell then lets the Republicans know it's time to oust the loon. This could happen in a matter of hours.
There are persistent rumors that 35 Republicans would vote to impeach if it was a secret ballot. There might be twenty who would remove Trump if the reason is good enough, we aren't there yet. It would have to be a very good reason, war against an ally for example, maybe withdraw from NATO, a nuclear bomb, something deathly serious. But there is a bridge too far even for Republicans.
Obviously, the real reason the Republicans would convict would be the new horror Trump inflicted on the world, but this gives McConnell a way to stop Trump. The cool thing is Trump knows it
