But she has a more consistently excellent record in managing her caucus and counting votes than she does in shaping a public message. So I think it’s reasonable to ask: What do she and House Democrats think they’re doing right now? They have paused the impeachment proceedings and said they might delay sending the charges against President Trump to the Senate. Democrats want assurances of a fair trial there. The reality is that Democrats have little leverage. Republicans hold a majority in the Senate and can design the trial however they want, so long as they stick together. There is no reason to think Pelosi’s stall tactics will create division among them. Yes, Trump [wants](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRf30z5P0TZaHR0cHM6Ly90d2l0dGVyLmNvbS9tYWdnaWVOWVQvc3RhdHVzLzEyMDc3MTQ1NDYwNDkzMjMwMDg_dGU9MSZubD1kYXZpZC1sZW9uaGFyZHQmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAxOTEyMjA_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTQ3MTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xOTc3NSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTIyMDE5MTIyMFcDbnl0QgoAHfnH_F2mTFH6Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) to be acquitted. But there are also advantages for him and the Republicans if House Democrats never send the articles. Trump can brush off the impeachment as a botched process and portray the Democrats as weak. Swing voters may well agree with that assessment. And vulnerable Senate Republicans will be allowed to avoid tough impeachment votes. As Mitch McConnell, the Senate Republican leader, [said](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRf30z5P0TWaHR0cHM6Ly90d2l0dGVyLmNvbS9ta3JhanUvc3RhdHVzLzEyMDc3OTg0NjMyOTcyMDQyMjU_dGU9MSZubD1kYXZpZC1sZW9uaGFyZHQmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAxOTEyMjA_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTQ3MTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xOTc3NSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTIyMDE5MTIyMFcDbnl0QgoAHfnH_F2mTFH6Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) yesterday, “I’m not sure what leverage there is” in holding back “something we do not want.” Most likely, Pelosi understands this and is merely trying to call attention to the Senate’s refusal to hold a fair trial. If that’s the case, she will send the articles to the Senate in short order. She has no good alternative. The only way to ensure a better functioning Senate is to win more elections in 2020.

The other top candidates were mostly solid, and I would be surprised if this debate had a big effect. The most interesting question is whether Amy Klobuchar can build support in Iowa and enter the top tier. Several other Opinion writers and I break down the debate in [our recurring Winners and Losers feature](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRf30z5P0TxaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vaW50ZXJhY3RpdmUvMjAxOS8xMi8yMC9vcGluaW9uL2RlYmF0ZS13aW5uZXItbG9zZXJzLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1kYXZpZC1sZW9uaGFyZHQmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAxOTEyMjA_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTQ3MTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xOTc3NSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTIyMDE5MTIyMFcDbnl0QgoAHfnH_F2mTFH6Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).

The longer she delays, the more likely it is that Republicans will be able to paint her as playing political games. Already, Mr. McConnell has suggested that the delay stems from her embarrassment over the House’s “shoddy work product.” But while the terms of the trial are being worked out, there is little downside to Ms. Pelosi drawing attention to the role that individual senators play in securing the integrity of the process — or not.
