I'm not suggesting that anyone one specific person would allow this, but whoever the choice is needs to show restraint and get to work. In fighting, talks of impeachment prior to the Mueller investigation being over, and lacking a cohesive message moving forward will cause that. Pelosi has the experience to do this. We need people who can get things done rather than pushing for things that won't even get a vote in the Senate.
If there's someone else with those qualities, I'd entertain them, but I haven't seen anyone throw their hat in the ring that would be a better choice.
I agree impeachment shouldn’t be the priority. Same with Trump’s tax returns. I’d even prefer the House act and pass legislation while completely ignoring Trump. That would break his little heart if he wasn’t the center of attention of the House.
