(4,999 posts)So, knowing that, and how the media operates in this country, what would be the gain on impeaching Trump on the Russian conspiracy? I think it would be a loss in the long run -- the Senate will not find him guilty, and the media will repeat that to the low information voters who will believe he is innocent. Trump would most likely win in 2020.
I have thought for a long time you have to simultaneously impeach Trump AND McConnell in the court of public opinion. If more people see McConnell as corrupt, they might come out in large numbers to the polls. I think the impeachable offense is failure to protect election integrity. Put that on Trump and make McConnell defend it. And do the full court press in the media on Russian election hacking and how essentially nothing has been done. If that doesn't motivate american voters I guess nothing will.
