These are traditionally people who think that facts=truths and that politics is beneath them. The verdict in the impeachment is almost irrelevant and I think Pelosi played this perfectly.
She waited until enough people got the gist, then pulled the trigger. We held this singular issue - the one people understood Trump was wrong on - in the news for longer than anything else has been in the news. Which means it's now held in the minds of the voter. She also knew that he, Trump, would do nothing to help his case in the remaining months between now and the election.
Furthermore, Bolton not testifying. And Romney making the Republican case against acquittal, only worsened the outcome. The Senate is in play, and if Doug Jones loses, I think this whole exchange will also boot Susan Collins and Corey Gardner.
Not to mention that Trump is a candidate (as we saw in 2018) who animates his opposition. And since he's directly involved in this race, it's going to be a disaster. Worse still is that if Biden or Warren aren't on the ticket, the ammunition the GOP has built up against them is gone. I'm a likely Bernie supporter, but if Mayor Pete gets the nomination, it's going to look like a race between an articulate veteran vs. a dying stroke victim.
The impeachment is a slow moving disater for the Trump Administration. |
