Showing Original Post only (View all)The conventional wisdom is that impeachment will help Trump. [View all]
But I don't understand exactly how it would help Trump and the Republicans??
It seems to me that if Trump was impeached, it would increase Democratic turnout.
Trump's base is going to turn out, if there is impeachment or not. I don't see where he increases his vote totals?
Perhaps someone can explain how this would work?
Is there a "silent majority" out there just waiting for a reason to vote for Donald Trump?

An impeachment is an indictment. If the Senate doesn't toss him out, it's like an aquittal.

It won't. It will put Republicans on the DEFENSIVE, having to defend Trump's actions.

Dems would be better at messaging, too, if they had the media monopoly the rethugs have.
