Am I the only one who wants to see an analysis of each “blue dog” district as to:
1. The degree to which a pro-impeachment vote would influence voters’ 2020 vote.
2. The degree to which an anti-impeachment position will suppress activism and the vote among the Dem base.
3. The relative importance of an impeachment vote versus other issues for 2020.
4. The degree to which a Rep’s pro-impeachment stand will stimulate Republican turnout in a district.
I watch the MSNBC shows, including today’s AM Joy, I read the diaries here, read the Times, the WaPo and twitter, and while I see a lot of talk about the supposed political risk for Dems in 2016 Trump districts in advocating for impeachment.
Instead, I see “do the right thing even if it’s politically risky.” Well, how risky is it?
It shouldn’t be hard to figure out the answers to the four questions above— 2018 exit polls, recent polling, focus groups, issue studies.
Take Max Rose NY- SI-Bklyn. who wrote an anti-impeachment op-ed. Would a pro impeachment stand hurt him? His op-ed was nonsense — saying Dems need to pass infrastructure. Infrastructure? Pass? How lame can you get?
