re: #222 KGxvi

An interesting point I heard on Pod Save America that I had kind of forgotten about, with respect to impeachment. When Clinton was impeached, his job approval numbers stayed strong, but his personal approval numbers were fucking terrible - like in the 30s. That’s one of the reasons Gore didn’t have Clinton campaign with him, he was basically toxic outside of the Democratic base. Trump’s approval ratings are already dropping into the 30s… two or three months of impeachment hearings in the House and then another couple months of an impeachment trial in the Senate (that would get wall to wall coverage on every channel, including FNC) probably wouldn’t help Trump.

I had forgotten that too when I’ve criticized Gore for distancing himself from Clinton in 2000. I still think Lieberman was a mistake though for VP.
