The very brief version is simply a history of the elections during and after impeachment: - In the 1998 midterms, which happened while Republicans were considering impeachment, the party won the national popular vote in congressional elections and held onto control of both the House and Senate. - In the first national election after impeachment — in 2000 — Al Gore only narrowly won the popular vote despite a booming economy, and George W. Bush won the presidency. Republicans also kept control of Congress again. - Not until 2006, eight years after impeachment, did Democrats win control of either branch of Congress in an election.

This is what his supporters respond to,” McCarthy, the editor of Modern Age: A Conservative Quarterly, wrote. “These feelings are the roots of a greater part of politics than rationalists dare admit. Passions and interests give rise to ideologies, more than ideologies arise from abstract reason.” I find Trump’s rejection of basic American values and democratic customs to be deeply worrisome, as regular readers know, and I don’t quote McCarthy as a way of excusing Trump’s behavior. But defeating him politically requires understanding the roots of his success. If you enjoy this newsletter, forward it to friends!
