42. # 1 & 2, in the best case

Tue Oct 9, 2018, 09:05 AM

Oct 2018

Make it to the Senate where they fail and leave a fired up Republican Party who has unified to protect their people against a Democratic "petty witch hunt"

Worst case, impeachment doesn't make it out of the House leaving a bitter and divided Democratic Party going into the 2020 election

#3 would fail on veto, if nothing else, but have Democrats leading a cause that appeals to their base and many independents. Also it opens every Republican candidate who opposed the measure to a point of attack.
