I was asked the other day whether Democrats’ efforts to start impeachment proceedings against President Trump are on life support. That’s roughly 30 percent of all House Democrats, which is no small number. For comparison, the influential conservative Freedom Caucus, which stopped so many budget bills when Republicans were in control, has about 30 members. The majority of vulnerable Democrats either do not support impeachment or have kept quiet about their true feelings. Pelosi allies told my Post colleagues that even if a majority of House Democrats were to support impeachment, she would not budge, so long as the American public doesn’t support it.
