The Republican Party Takes Flight
“As Republican leaders scramble to stave off a Democratic wave or at least mitigate their party’s 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.”
Dump Trump (ITMFA!)

But, but, what if Donnie Dorko is impeached before the election? A person can dream, can’t they?

They’re going to run against Nancy “Impeachment is off the table” Pelosi claiming she’ll impeach the bastard this time?
I’m sure the DNC will help them succeed, too.

Isn’t this just more Chicken Little, “The sky is falling”? The fact is that, at each election, the GOP rolls out the “We’re all going to die”, extremist messaging. I would have thought that, even for the dullest of GOP voters, the impeachment threat is too vague and over the top. Also, no Democratic politician is actually talking about that.

When all else fails . . . TERRA-RIST ATTACK! or a random small nuke dropped in North Korea. Especially now since there’s an intern to wrestle the guy who’s supposed to wrestle the nuc-u-lar football away from President Stillson.
