Analysis: President Trump pays a historic price for doing business his way: Impeachment.
The silver lining for Trump is his belief — one some Democrats worry could be realized — that the episode might be turned to his political advantage as he seeks re-election.
"Every time Democrats and the media go into a frenzy, the president's campaign gets bigger and stronger and we raise more money," Murtaugh said."Independent voters don't like one party trying to take the choice in the next election out of voters' hands." Trump has"made the calculation that he’s going to do everything in his power to mobilize his supporters," said Chris Kofinis, a Democratic strategist who noted that Trump's combative behavior during his impeachment broke with Clinton's combination of contrition and concentration on legislative matters."He’s actually magnifying the significance of impeachment. I think that speaks to his mindset about what he thinks works.
Democrats racked up a nearly 10 million-vote edge in their historic House victory last year, sweeping Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., back into the speakership and putting her in the position of managing her party base's desire to impeach the president.
"This may be heretical, but I think it's a wash," Begala said in a text message."We are 320 days from the election. Does anyone really think impeachment will still be an issue 320 days from now? If Trump is not convicted, it will generate more heat for the Democrats, since grievance drives turnout."
