While many will read that headline and fear for our nation’s future, there is a very good reason for this sudden, unnerving news: To push the Democrats toward impeachment.
Stay with me on this one; I promise it makes sense.
First, here’s the latest from Fox News:
A new high of 51 percent wants Trump impeached and removed from office, another 4 percent want him impeached but not removed, and 40 percent oppose impeachment altogether. In July, 42 percent favored impeachment and removal, while 5 percent said impeach but don’t remove him, and 45 percent opposed impeachment.
Since July, support for impeachment increased among voters of all stripes: up 11 points among Democrats, 5 points among Republicans and 3 among independents. Support also went up among some of Trump’s key constituencies, including white evangelical Christians (+5 points), white men without a college degree (+8), and rural whites (+10).
So, why is this somehow a good thing for Donald Trump?
Because impeachment is inevitable, and the best possible route here is the swiftest.
The Democrats have telegraphed their intention to draw this impeachment “inquiry” out for as long as they can, possibly well into the meat of the 2020 general election. The timing here will be crucial, of course, and if they misplay this, the Democratic Party will be wholly embarrassed at the polls.
For Donald Trump, his most effective path forward is to get this impeachment ball rolling as quickly as possible. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has his back as well, already promising a “swift” trial in the Republican-controlled Senate that will almost certainly fall in Trump’s favor.
So, while many in America see this poll as negative for the President, those with a wider angle will understand that a quick impeachment is the best path forward, given that the Democrats will be unable to refuse their constituents’ demands for an impeachment at some point.
