What is the one with the biggest price in one district will have the opposite effect in another.

There is no one answer.

The Democratic base is already fired up and ready to vote. Impeachment talk would fire up Republicans. Plus, impeachment is a national thing. District by district, independent voters want to hear from their candidates about what can be done to improve conditions in THEIR district, not impeachment.

Let's Trump scandals and corruption be the ominous backdrop to these midterms, while Democratic candidates push hard on solving their local district issues.

since at this moment zero chance to vote on articles of impeachment and would fuel more republican voters to vote, it seems to be a stupid position to take,

now after the election and democrats have the house, then its a matter of what the Mueller report comes up with...just because we don't like trump, doesn't make that an impeachable offense. Having said that, no chance of any conviction in the senate, why not just keep trump dangling around the neck of the gOP??

to me we have much great concerns...like 2020 and 2022 elections where we can have REAL actions to set america on the correct path.
