Nearly half the House Democrats now support an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.
That’s according to a tally by The Associated Press on Wednesday. It shows 113 Democrats and one Republican in the House are publicly backing an inquiry.
The number spiked in the aftermath of Robert Mueller’s testimony on the special counsel’s report. Some two dozen House Democrats added their names after Mueller’s appearance last week on Capitol Hill.
Still, it’s far from the 218 votes that are typically needed to pass legislation in the House, where Democrats hold a 235-seat majority.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is unlikely to agree to formally launch impeachment proceedings unless there is a broader groundswell of support.

TDS- trump derangement syndrome- a progressive disease that affects Democrats (and some rinos)
Symptoms usually are- mental retardation, a sense of entitlement, and long crying spells (although it’s argued that those symptoms were present before the disease came about)
No medical treatment is effective
So what? There is no chance of Trump being removed from office since the Senate has the final say in impeachments. And it is probably in Trump’s interests to be able to say the Democrats were so much diverted by their personal vendetta against that they weren’t doing their job, and then blame the Democrats for anything that goes wrong.
What is point? Nearly all Senate Republicans have head in sand.
