Dems appear to be just now realizing that Nancy Pelosi’s dopey impeachment strategy to delay the start of the Senate trial is throwing every Dem Senator running for President under the proverbial bus. From NBC News:

Sen. Booker says an impeachment trial could deal a “big, big blow” to his Democratic presidential campaign by keeping him away from Iowa in the final weeks before the Feb. 3 caucuses. https://t.co/azCQ5ldf60 — NBC News (@NBCNews) January 9, 2020

Or maybe her plan all along was to boost Joe Biden at the expense of Bernie and Warren?

At what point do we start asking whether Pelosi has 2020 Dem Primary calculations in holding impeachment papers? Her strategy clearly isn’t based on impacting Senate consideration at this point. — Josh Holmes (@HolmesJosh) January 8, 2020

Senate Dems told her yesterday enough was enough:

If it isn’t, don’t send it over” ⁦@heatherscope⁩ https://t.co/oP6xRWLNE6 — Burgess Everett (@burgessev) January 8, 2020

A tactical genius she’s not:
