Yep — what you say is how I have viewed impeachment in the past and it’s a more traditional view of how impeachments are viewed wrt the public. Impeachment has always been this serious sober thing worthy of mucho consideration etc etc
However things have changed a lot since the Bill Clinton days. The dems don’t need much of a reason to impeach and will go full bore especially if they take the House. The only question is how many RINOs support them. Trump has a lot of enemies in DC and is quite isolated as just about everyone in DC hates his guts. Bill Clinton had lots of support.
So it is a much different situation now. Bottom line — nothing happens unless dems take the House and if that happens all bets are off. We’ll see.
The only area where I disagree is that impeachment rhetoric could actually hurt the Dems chances in the midterms.
If the public perception shifts a bit toward the view that it’s a witch hunt, the Dems will have to put a cork in it or risk a voter backlash.
So subtle changes in public perception are important.
