For some reason people only talk about how Trump's "base" would be energized by impeachment. Well, so would the Dem "base," and that base is arguably larger and even *more* activated, considering the historic turnout in 2018. I discussed in this column:https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-the-runaway-impeachment-train-20190528-jfedgjwbjnegrjxxehrzwx53fa-story.html …

From a strategic standpoint, Warren was "ahead of the curve" on this issue. She read the Mueller Report and called for impeachment right away, while the rest of the candidates equivocated. Any gains to be made by backing impeachment accrued to her. Hence, she has gone up in polls

I'll repeat. Trump supporters who claim they know exactly how impeachment would play out politically are spewing nonsense. Height of arrogance and hubris. Trump won by a thin popular vote margin in three states. The people he needs to win again aren't raging everyday on Twitter

Another thing I wonder is how long Bernie will be able to hold out on directly endorsing impeachment proceedings. At least 4 of his Senate colleagues have already done so. Could be that remaining "ambivalent" on the question will be politically untenable. Starting to seem evasive

That worked so well for the Republicans when they impeached Clinton.

Under dramatically different circumstances, negating the utility of that precedent.

Trying to impeach Trump to cause political harm before the election is not a reason for impeachment. Impeachment 99% won’t happen. How about the people vote him out in 2020 and Congress work on creating bold progressive plans now for passage with a new progressive POTUS?

Right on!

Or this could blow up in their faces and Trump will win in a landslide. I’m leaning torwards that one at this point.

They're trying to deflect from the upcoming exposure of the origin of the Russia Hoax. I think impeachment will fail miserably due to more serious charges coming from AG Barr. (I hope soon).

92% of the media coverage on Trump is already negative. Despite a great economy. You underestimate Trump if you think Impeachment will harm his chances. He has been baiting them to go there..

Depends on what the Barr investigation reveals. If the Dems had all the cards, I'd agree with you, but they don't. Mueller just played his last hand yesterday. All the Dem cards are on the table. Trump's hand is still unknown. Is he bluffing, or does he have a royal flush?
-
Assange is his biggest card.

Believe me, they prefer Trump (a chaotic non-ideologue) to a President Pence. The goal is probably to create a morass/distraction and prevent re-election.

Absolutely no way to know. You will have two energized bases with this. The question is what the folks in the middle will think. That will determine 2020.
