(42,770 posts)mention no foundation for the premise that voters will be driven away. I have thought about that a lot. How is that different than seemingly endless investigations? Couldn't that sound like - well hell, Mueller spent a LONG time digging with the best prosecutors on his staff. Why are the Dems still digging? Not impeaching de-legitimizes what Mueller did come up with. And, I just don't see, logically that many people in the middle will say - Oh no, they impeached - will never vote for a Dem because they did that. Not with all the non-blowjob crimes. If the crimes were jaywalking, I could see it. And, if anyone does think that, surely it would be offset by persuading the casual observer who would tune in to an impeachment hearing plus the immense push of Dems motivated (i.e. 10 million who signed move on petition).
