by Rich Herschlag Along with apostate conservative David Brooks, a small army of pundits have in the past few weeks laid out their well considered reasons for Democrats to refrain from impeaching the President. Brooks’ argument paraphrased goes something like this: Trump would ultimately win in the Senate and then heading into the 2020 election build on the momentum; impeachment represents elitism of a couple hundred members of Congress over a couple hundred million potential voters; the Democrats would lose momentum on their most viable policy arguments; Americans simply don’t want an impeachment; and finally, there have already been too many false starts. Brooks’ talking points overlap and essentially amount to a single warning—be afraid, Democrats. Be very afraid.
