In all honesty, I wonder if the vote total for these Articles of Impeachment would be higher if Article I were just “Trump is a douche.”— Liz Mair (@LizMair) December 10, 2019
Well, if the vote were on Twitter, I'm sure.
However, I understand these articles were written to get moderate House Democrats on board. Twitter imagines the entire world is like them; not unlike the current President, who is actually more demented on that subject than even Twitter in aggregate is. But there are whole swathes of the country that think a trade deal with Canada and Mexico that protects labor (Trumka has thrown his weight behind the House deal) to some degree, is a good thing for the country, not just a "win" for Trump.
And even if it is a "win" for Trump, who's going to care next November? Who is going to vote based on the passage (if it passes; the Senate, says McConnell, won't touch it until after the impeachment trial, and that doesn't mean anything just now) of the USMCA probably half-a-year before the election?
