    The real answer is that it is partisan because it is opposed by Republican voters, and not even drawing plurality support among independent voters. The politicians are just following. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/public_approval_of_the_impeachment_and_removal_of_trump_independents-6960.html …https://twitter.com/saletan/status/1223255630166790145 …

    “Wholly partisan,” he declares, thereby making his own statement true. Republicans are justified in opposing impeachment, because impeachment is opposed by Republicans. https://twitter.com/SenAlexander/status/1223093606178787328 …

        Which is not a totally unreasonable stance. When you have a crime, you have a clear case for removal. When the charge is abuse of power, you have an arguable case for removal - and in an arguable case, things like public opinion & an approaching election matter more.

        Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Jeff Jacoby

        Real talk: in both of those cases, the Senate majority was controlled by the opposing party & wanted a conviction.https://twitter.com/Jeff_Jacoby/status/1223256973283594242 …

        Jeff JacobyVerified account @Jeff_Jacoby
        No. Witnesses were called by the Senate in the impeachment trials of both Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. And the Senate, when trying an impeachment, is not bound by any limitation the House may have imposed on itself. https://twitter.com/Toby_Metcalf/status/1223202352020316163 …

        If what you say is true of independents, then it is not completely true politicians are following. Dems need independents very much.

        This is a problem: The idea that politicians simply follow voter preference rather than lead, i.e., shape voter preference. Does anyone doubt that if several swing state GOP senators came out in favor of impeachment, that it would change voters' views on impeachment?

        Which makes me wonder why we need politicians in the first place.

        Our system isn’t designed to compensate for a party and an electorate who are morally bankrupt. To that end, Trump really can shoot someone on 5th Avenue and get away with it. He knows it. His supporters know it. So long as they keep his poll numbers up, he is unstoppable.

        “Just following.” I’d be happy to put that on their tombstones.
