Maybe they've been reading the polls showing they have higher unfavorable ratings than Donald Trump or the Republicans.

They may also be getting scared that the frenzy they have created will have negative effects hitting them from both sides:
1) Anger at them for not doing what they claim they can do (impeachment); and
2) To keep the base happy, forcing them to look more and more deranged to the majority of the American people.

Some Democratic leaders around the country are growing increasingly concerned that the party could be repeating its errors from the 2016 election by looking past voters' core concerns in lawmakers' eagerness to take aim at the president.

"We're obsessed with what's happening here, and a lot of American people are worried about that," Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti told NBC News during an interview in D.C. this week. "But if you're out of a job or struggling with debt, you've got more primary concerns than even all of the drama here in Washington. And if nobody is speaking to it, besides this president, you're going to stick with him. You just are. Even through this stuff."

Some Democrats — especially those outside Washington, who are closer to their constituents and more removed from the Beltway — warn most voters are too busy leading their lives to pay attention to the ins and outs of the Russia investigations or the controversy du jour in the capital and are more responsive to bread-and-butter issues than the possible but unlikely impeachment of the president....

The liberal base generally wind up deeply damaging or even killing the host body they've parasitically infected. It's also why so many nutballs get into office, through the deeply ideological, desperately hysterical, far left base being the only voters in the primary.
People look at social media and think...that's everyone's views. It's not, it's only the most vocal people. It's about like in sports and message board fans...

we think we are the ones that care because we talk about it daily and the loudest. Yet, we make up a very small percentage of the overall fans. Most of those don't live it 24/7.

So when these congressmen and media types start looking at a topic and it starts to spread across the social media platforms they are doing just as the poll takers did in Oct and early Nov. They are confusing that uproar with the 7-4:30 man and woman busting their ass trying to pay the bills. And then on pay day they see more and more of that hard earn money gone.

Those are the ones that elect our congress, senators, president...not the loud voice of the internet. Those are the ones wasting their bosses money...posting on FB, Twitter, and other social media during the work day. Another big part of those that are the loudest and hitting the internet for most of their day. Those are the ones that make up a large percentage of people who don't vote....

it's why the polls were wrong. It's why the media was wrong. It's also why they are just as wrong today. It's also why the politicians didn't see why most people wants immigration under control. The loud mouths on the internet will say...no no no, we want more. Thye media will pander to those loud mouths, thinking they are the masses....

as I said, they are not. It's why we have Donal J. Trump as president. The man spoke about change. The man spoke about the every day working man. The man spoke about the struggling families....working families. He also spoke about help the poor, help themselves, with better jobs.

But we are now months removed from the election and those same politicians are pandering to the loudest voice in the room. They are doing this with the help of the media. It seems like nothing has changed....

yet, both are forgetting about middle American and their needs and wants and family values. Oh what a mistake they are making.
Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Keith Ellison and some others have been warning the Dems for a long time. Instead, the Dems elected a Clinton stooge to run the DNC instead of Keith Ellison. Electing Nancy Pelosi again shows how the Democrats in the house are out of touch. The ones who voted for the Ohio house member are not the ones out of touch.
