On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks stated that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) decision to delay transmitting the articles of impeachment to the Senate makes the process “look a little more political” and that Pelosi doesn’t have much leverage because the House has “essentially lost control of the process.”
Brooks said, “I think it’s very risky. As Mitch McConnell said, why is withholding something I don’t want to do, why is that leverage? And so, it was always going to be a reality that, once the House voted to impeach, they were going to lose control of the process. And they have essentially lost control of the process. … I don’t think it’s very powerful leverage. I think it delays what eventually will be a trial, pushing it, frankly, back into primary season. And it looks — makes it look a little more political.”

Merry Christmas, Nancy!
More political? Good Lord, these people are truly insane.
I don't know Dave, it's tough to get beyond the 100% mark, which is where it was at when the progs started this crap three years ago.

Time to douse the witch with a pail of water and melt her to oblivion!
How could it look more political?
Perhaps because it is?
This is a Party that can get 115% turnout in elections
Dialing it up to 11 is no problem for them
Wow...that’s a big deal coming from Brooks.
Isn’t he suppose to be a conservative
Never sounds like a conservative.
I guess he just noticed Pelosi’s dress looks funereal.
well...conservative for the NYT...so right of far left but left of far right
Nancy screwed the pooch letting this get this far. Mitch can refuse the articles, if they’re delivered and tell them to do it over. I wonder how the Dem newbies Christmas Holiday is going with their voters. Hope they enjoy their time off.
When you’ve lost David Brooks...
When you’ve lost David Brooks...
...you’ve lost the creased pants community.
Desperate for a modicum of credibility, the media begrudgingly utters a truism every once in a great while, even though it causes the talking heads to go into anaphylactic shock.
Sort of like the Emperor of Japan saying the war had not been to Japan's advantage.
Problem is, there’s no far-right.
Conservatism by definition resists change of the status quo, so every possible “compromise” moves further to the left; further toward tyranny and globalism. This country truly needs a radical and militant far-right, to push for destruction of the overreach of government, leftist political correctness... In favor of liberty and personal responsibility.
Unfortunately, the far-right is a myth. A boogieman used to tar the reputation of centrist conservatives. We need a far-right, but we don’t have one.
