The first is symbolised by Warren, who's like a broken record in favour. She expects the House to get going, pronto.
Warren wants Trump impeached, period. Much of the progressive left shares her view.
Contrast that with Pelosi who will only go for impeachment if the evidence is irrefutable and conviction all but certain by a Republican Senate. Put another way, why put Trump down on the mat in the House, if a Senate conviction can't be obtained?
For some Democrats, it's all about getting Trump impeached and getting it into the historical record. That's what happened to Clinton. But he ended up serving out his term anyway.
For others, what would be the point exactly of going that route, only to have the Senate acquit at trial? That's Pelosi's thinking.
For my part, I'm totally against impeachment as a general principle. The United States is now more seriously divided than ever.
Impeachment likely would be the spark that eventually prompts another civil war. That's my mindset.
So, if you end up having to deal with Trump, do it using another legal or political mechanism.
Across America, it's all about the economy and health care. That's the only way that Trump can be taken down. Most in Washington D.C. already get that.
