The Rs "won" the senate but they lost four seats.
Failed impeachment is ALREADY the precedent! In both cases, the party that failed to convict the president in the Senate won the presidency and Congress in the next election.https://twitter.com/Susan_Hennessey/status/1155502652140195845 …

Also good history to know - The GOP members who sided with Nixon in the impeachment trials were lambasted by their constituents. 5 of 7 lost their seats in next election. Turns out even partisan voters hate seeing elected officials defend the indefensible. -->pic.twitter.com/axEQEXBMKB

Pew research also tracked voter support for Nixon. His hard-core support level didn't change much during impeachment hearings. The # of voters who actively DISAPPROVED of Nixon, however, grew substantially after people heard evidence on TV.

3, if you think of Watergate as an impeachment that was about to happen.

Wait wait wait. Sure. You know this. And I know this. But you can’t expect existing lawmakers to follow all of the obscure details of ancient political history. Oh wait, Schumer was elected to the senate just one month after the last “failed impeachment”? He should know.

Gore actually won the popular vote in 2000 despite a national media that openly hated the man and magnified pretty much any claim the GOP made about him. Plus, in 2000, the GOP already held both houses of Congress and had net losses that left them with narrow margins in both.

And Shaquille O'neal won League MVP that year. Until the president is elected by popular vote, why even bring it up?
