Yeah, go ahead and impeach solely along partisan lines if you want to lose the swing districts in 2020 that you pick up in 2018. What Dems did last November in VA should be instructional. Pubs had a 67-33 advantage in the house, and Dems took 16 of those seats and tied and lost a coin flip in another (in retrospect, we should have flown in Javier Bardem to have performed the ceremonial flip). By far the biggest issue on the minds of VA voters was health insurance, and I don't think Pub pols in Washington realize the amount of damage they did to themselves by not repealing and replacing the ACA last year. Even if they would have screwed over folks with pre-existing conditions, had they come up with something that reduced insurance rates for most folks, I think they would have gotten some credit and would be looking better in the mid-terms. But the combination of doing nothing and the administration actively subverting the ACA and driving prices even further up has folks in the well educated and lily white exurbs pissed off. If you look at where the Dems made pick-ups last year in VA, many of those pick-ups were in VA 2, 7 and 10. We're talking mostly conservative white folks who usually vote Pub but who don't necessarily drink the Trump koolaid and who understand what rising health care costs are doing to their budget. They want low taxes and the health care system to be more stable and cheaper - not a partisan only exercise in impeachment futility.
