Judging by their public words and actions, it feels like President Trump wants impeachment more than House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

It’s been pretty clear since Democrats took over the House of Representatives that Pelosi has been desperately trying to avoid impeachment. She’s remained resistant even in the face of increased calls by rank-and-file members to at least launch some sort of impeachment inquiry. It’s pretty clear that Pelosi wants to pursue a strategy of keeping up congressional investigations to embarrass Trump, while passing various parts of the Democratic agenda that are publicly popular and have consensus support among Democrats but that Republicans will block, thus teeing up the argument for 2020.
