Why did the Dems hit the Pause button and then relaunch impeachment?
One answer is that they were carefully watching the polls. As they rammed through the articles, support for impeachment among independents had collapsed. (Dems and Republicans don’t really matter as the partisan positions on both sides are locked in.)
With the poll numbers rebounding, the Dems tried again. Their political hackery meant that they had left their options on the table, leading them to make the same mistakes all over again. The one thing the Senate trial is bound to do is kill support for impeachment.
Impeachment seems much more compelling when independents are viewing the prospect through the eyes of media storytellers, not legislative nitpicking debates and aimless speeches. The media at least knows how to make a case. Not legally, but narratively.
