If Pelosi didn't have enough DEMOCRATS to vote for impeachment charges, how should she handle it?

I heard Maxine Waters speak this weekend, and she said one of the reasons they haven't ended the war is there are Democrats in DC who aren't really Democrats, and others who have good intentions but buy into the crap about cutting funding for the war will look like they are hurting the troops.

While she didn't say it directly, I wonder if the same dynamic isn't even more relevant to impeachment since the war can be stopped by simply not bringing a spending bill to the floor, but impeachment requires a vote to get started.

Pelosi's behavior and attitude on the issue is still unacceptable, but I wonder if this isn't part of the explanation and she doesn't want to connect the dots because it would undercut them on getting cooperation with the investigations and legislation they do have the votes to get done.
