      We’re in for a nightmare. Ratings will incentivize the media to obsess over impeachment as they did w/ Russiagate. Democrats will be incentivized to pursue impeachment to cover up for collusion failure & appease base. Vital issues will remain sidelined - and all this helps Trump.

      Mostly agreed except I'm not so sure it ultimately "helps" Trump, at least in the context of his re-election prospectshttps://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-the-runaway-impeachment-train-20190528-jfedgjwbjnegrjxxehrzwx53fa-story.html …

      I think it does help. The case for impeachment is weak (at least on obstruction — if they got him for his actual crimes then every other POTUS is impeachable too); I don’t think Dems will even do it; and all this fuels his witch-hunt claims & saps an actual opposition agenda.

      Weak or not, it energizes Dem base, which was not sufficiently energized in 2016

          Right, but does that energy reach the swing states & independent voters that actually decide the election?

          Keeps both “bases” trapped in hatred, keeps actual issues at bay. Keeps Trump at mercy of establishment if he were thinking of bolting.

          That won't mean shit if it excuses the Dems to push through a corprotist like Biden under that pretense. Hell one thing we have seen the past two years is when a candidate talks about Russia collusion, their base gets angry at them.

          It doesn’t. It distracts them from the real issues at hand and deludes them into thinking they’ve got the upper hand. It’s all theater, all manipulation.

          Perhaps, Michael. But energizing voters based on a salacious distraction plays to the worst human instincts and further "dumbs down" political discourse. Cynical operatives may choose that path, but I decry such action.

          Dems lose again. Whether impeachment succeeds or fails, they go into late 2020 with no clear positions on any issues.

          And when they lose, it will be proof that Russia has interfered again.

          Again, I have to ask, what will the base do if there is no impeachment? Will they be un-energized and stay home on election day?

          The Dem base is already energized. But the GOP base would be newly energized and that would really help Trump.

          I ask also. I mostly vote D and never R but have never felt represented except by people who are usually not going to win b/c It's not a democratic process. From there we can deduce it?

          Aha, but why is that the case? People vote against rather than for because that's the only choice we get. In that case we vote for someone we aren't supposed to (off duo) or may the funniest freak win, depending on state.
