WAUKESHA, Wis. (Reuters) - Terry Dittrich has been working with Donald Trump’s re-election campaign on a simple strategy to win the critical battleground of Wisconsin next year: Turn out even more gun lovers, anti-abortion conservatives and illegal immigration critics than in his surprise 2016 victory in the state.

The move by Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives to launch a formal impeachment investigation into Trump this week just made that job easier, said Dittrich, chairman of the state’s Republican Party in Waukesha County.

“I hate to say it’s good for us, but at the end of the day it will help drive up the vote count,” Dittrich said. “It shows how crazy and desperate the Democrats are to try and destroy this president and this country.”

Wisconsin will be the scene of a turn-out-the-vote “arms race” in 2020 between Republicans and Democrats, a top state Democratic Party official predicted. Democrats, determined not to repeat the mistakes of 2016 when nominee Hillary Clinton never visited the state, will hold their nominating convention in Milwaukee in July.

1. If only it wasn't predictable?

Driving people to the polls to literally BE RID OF, is probably working just fine, for US and U.S.!?!!

2. Doing something that's mandated in the Constitution and/or Amendments destroys this ...

Country? I'd say that it's the other way around, that failure of the repugs in all corners to not protect the Country from rump and his destructive path is the problem. These idiots (dittrich) are part of the problem and thus never deserve an elected office, being that they clearly fail to see anything shoved in front of their stupid faces.

3. Wisconsin will not be determined by Republican turnout

Because I can tell you right now all the deplorables in WI will turn out for Don the Con.

WI will be determined by Democratic turnout. That means the power is with us and we need only use it.

4. The "this is good for us" spin is inevitable

And we'll continue to hear it through the entire ordeal, probably all the way up to Election Day. However, if it was really good for them I think we'd have noticed someone in the GOP gloating about it, or at least appearing happy, they can never contain their zeal when they think they've pulled something off. They do not appear happy about it to me.

I think impeachment is a big shit sandwich for Trump and his quasi-GOP cult.
