Maybe. But the traditional pelosi view or what drove it are factors that are still at play.
Pelosi is smart enough to know that - while all the dems are crowing about mid-term victories- that those victories occurred where dems ran as moderates. (not talking about internal victories such as a progressive dem over a moderate dem). And Pelosi knows that her power is derived from having a dem majority congress. So yeh, she sees that this will take Biden down and will prop Warren up who is a stronger candidate. Except taking things further to the left puts the house majority at risk- not only in the 30 districts represented by dems that trump won but in others.
No punchline. Just sayin, that still remains for her to work out. A stronger but leftier Warren is not necessarily to her benefit. Ideally she would have a strong Biden who was not an idiot and about to be up to his arse in scandal.
But that is not what I said, I believe Pelosi is ok tanking the Dems chances at President because she looks stronger opposing Trump than sucking up to a new Dem President which is not going to happen. Biden is weakly leading and she gets to attack Trump, hurt Biden and make her power stronger pushing away the fringes of the party who will look like losers in 2020. Warren gets moved to the front and the whacky far left policies move central stage nad get ripped to shreds while she emerges unscathed.
Then she hands over the reigns to a stronger and leaner Dem party in 2024.
Her actions will not hurt the Congressional candidates who majority still are not so far left. But she needs to silence the new class of the crazy leftards like AOC and Talib so by highlighting the failure of the party moving so far left also pushes those pesky newcomers into the shadows further solidifying her power over Congress.
A failed Warren and HRC campaign will show the party needs to reevaluate its approach and heads will roll....except Pelosi's
The push for impeachment:
1. Tanks Joe
2. Continues highlighting issues with trump
3. Pushes Warren to the front with no chance of winning
4. Destroys this new faction of the Dem party
5. Makes her the strongest Dem in D.C. and top dog for 4 more years
6. The cleansing gives the Dems 3 more years to wash away the shit and come up with better stronger candidates for the 2020/2022 Congressional districts and 2024 Presidential
7. Moves the focus back on attacks on GOP and away from the crappy campaign strats of Dems.
She is taking one for the team for the long-term play. This is wiping out the colony and keeping a few survivors to start again newer and stronger. It is pure genius and evil at the same time.
Brilliant.
