The silver lining for Trump is his belief — one some Democrats worry could be realized — that the episode might be turned to his political advantage as he seeks re-election.
"Every time Democrats and the media go into a frenzy, the president's campaign gets bigger and stronger and we raise more money," Murtaugh said."Independent voters don't like one party trying to take the choice in the next election out of voters' hands." Trump has"made the calculation that he’s going to do everything in his power to mobilize his supporters," said Chris Kofinis, a Democratic strategist who noted that Trump's combative behavior during his impeachment broke with Clinton's combination of contrition and concentration on legislative matters."He’s actually magnifying the significance of impeachment. I think that speaks to his mindset about what he thinks works.
Democrats racked up a nearly 10 million-vote edge in their historic House victory last year, sweeping Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., back into the speakership and putting her in the position of managing her party base's desire to impeach the president.
"This may be heretical, but I think it's a wash," Begala said in a text message."We are 320 days from the election. Does anyone really think impeachment will still be an issue 320 days from now? If Trump is not convicted, it will generate more heat for the Democrats, since grievance drives turnout."
Poor NBC !! Can’t live with the fact Trump won, they have spent so much time trying to overturn the election they haven’t been looking ahead to 2020 just days away, Democrats will get beat big an NBC will become less relevant in 2020!!
He's not impeached yet. The house has officially brought impeachment charges against him. Now comes the Senate trial.
If price is landslide victory 2020 then yes.
Not impeach. The Senate has the final say.
Today is a great day for Democrats but a sad day for the country as the standard for impeachment was reduced so low that one could expect impeachment to become a routine matter whenever one party has majority in the House and the party has majority in the Senate.
Trump is a crook and HE will always be a crook. This 73 year old mob leader will never change because He was born and raised by a KKK father.
He is doing everything we voted him in to do. And we will do so again in 2020. DrainTheSwamp MAGA Trump2020
No he has broke the Dems. They exposed their hate today
Glad the House did their job and now the senate can deal with it or not. At this point, trump is an impeached president Period.
