He also knows what many of us know already, that the Republicans who run the Senate aren&#8217;t going to convict him. He&#8217;ll then be able to use a House impeachment against Democrats and pave the way toward a possible &#8212; if not probable &#8212; re-election in November 2020.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2019\/06\/06\/pelosi-says-shed-rather-see-trump-in-prison-not-impeached\/\">Pelosi is known to possess<\/a> a first-class political mind; her political instincts are believed to be unparalleled. Thus, I am surprised to hear her say what she said, that her goal is to put the president of the United States in prison.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s one thing to comprehend the steep hill that awaits a potential impeachment vote in the House. It&#8217;s quite another to say she wants to toss the president behind bars.<\/p>\n<p>I agree with the speaker&#8217;s reluctance &#8212; if only for now &#8212; to launch impeachment proceedings against the president. I only wish she would keep the &#8220;prison&#8221; thoughts to herself.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker Pelosi is sure to launch the president into a hysterical response that only will serve to make us all just shake our heads in utter disbelief.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?hashtags=MAGA%20%23NancyPelosi%20%23POTUS%20%23impeachment&#038;via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surely the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives knows with whom she is dealing.
