New York Times: As Republican leaders scramble to stave off a Democratic wave or at least mitigate their partys losses in November, a strategy is emerging on the right for how to energize conservatives and drive a wedge between the anti-Trump left and moderate voters: warn that Democrats will immediately move to impeach President Trump if they capture the House. What began last year as blaring political hyperbole on the right the stuff of bold-lettered direct mail fund-raising pitches from little-known groups warning of a looming American coup is now steadily drifting into the main currents of the 2018 message for Republicans.
The appeals have become a surefire way for candidates to raise small contributions from grass-roots conservatives who are devoted to Mr. Trump, veteran Republican fund-raisers say. But party strategists also believe that floating the possibility of impeachment can also act as a sort of scared-straight motivational tool for turnout.

(10,129 posts)2. I read that headline and thought they were FOR impeachment
As a strategy.
How will we have time to impeach when we'll be spending all our time taking everyone's guns, burning bibles, and declaring marshall law so that we can install a Clinton/Pelosi socialist dictatorship?
We'll never find the time....
