My recollection of the Clinton impeachment is that it went badly for Republicans. Impeachment was never popular and Judiciary Committee Republicans--with a few exceptions--performed poorly. (Melvin Watt often left Henry Hyde sputtering with frustration). Moreover, a number of Republicans had their own extramarital peccadillos exposed. In the 1998 off-year elections, Republicans lost five House seats and failed to gain any Senate seats or governor’s mansions. Clinton left office with a 65% approval rating.

Totally agree with the crazy, but don’t think we can count on it turning off enough people to help. The Right has captured so many state leg’s, and used them to restrict voting, that their minoritarian efforts have a good chance of succeeding.

If the Dems cheat (obviously the only way they can win) then ANYthing the GOP does in response is justified.
