You guys know this only helps him, right? Seriously, his polling numbers went up with every impeachment. This will be (rightfully) seen as a gross overstep by the Democrats, and on a gut level people will feel the desperation in this move.

This translates into more moderates (and even some Democrats) voting Republican, and puts more untapped ballots up for grabs when the Republicans start going door-to-door and harvesting ballots.

Yeah it sucks, but the more heavy handed the Democrats become, the more people become sympathetic to the other side.
