Re “Pelosi Declares House Will Begin to Draw Up Impeachment Charges” (front page, Dec. 6):

Bravo, Nancy!

Our brave and eloquent speaker was correct when she said earlier that impeachment would be so divisive to the country. But President Trump was going to make the coming campaign ugly and divisive anyway. Eleven months is a long time in today’s hurtling political world.

Like Ms. Pelosi, most of us don’t hate Mr. Trump. We just want him out of office, because he is causing potentially irreparable harm to the body politic. I actually feel sorry for him, because he is clearly chronically insecure. How else to explain his own spewing of hatred?

We deserve better. By a substantial margin, we voted for better.
