2019 elections have consistently shown that dem turnout is up over lackluster repub turnout (especially in rural areas) and normally solid red suburbs (dems/indies/crossover repubs) that dems havent won in decades or ever are turning blue.

etc etc etc.
mind you...trump campaigned heavy in ky and la and off-year election turnout has a history of being *more* favorable to republicans (whiter, older, more rural) than the prez general will be.
this idea that impeachment is rallying trumps base or hurting democrats...i have no idea where people are getting it from. because actual election results (the only data that really matters) have shown the exact opposite.
i mean...dude has ~20% higher support for impeachment than any recent president before him other than nixon (and he isnt too far off nixons highest number).

you dont think those numbers (and the people who are represented by those numbers) are moving the needle?
