The Fait Accompli Impeachment

Eventually voting on impeachment jeopardizes many in her caucus who won in red or purple districts.

Beyond this, a Senate impeachment trial coinciding with the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary relegates Democrat presidential candidates to below-the-fold status.

Surely Pelosi considers what happens the day after the impeachment trial.

As one pressure group formed as the result of an earlier impeachment put it, "Move on!".

Impeachment serves as a pleasant, temporary distraction from the hard work ahead for Democrats.

By skipping the necessary election postmortem and diving straight into the delusional quest for impeachment and removal, Democrats robbed themselves of the lessons of losing.

Perhaps for this reason Democrats indulge in the short-term gratification provided by the political pornography of impeachment.
