(6,172 posts)They want all this to be fresh in the minds of the public during the campaign and up to the 2020 election.
The Democrats know full well that the Republican Senate won't take any action on Articles of Impeachment put forth by the House.
So the Democrats want to have Trump and his enablers tried in the voting booth.
If Articles of Impeachment were produced by the House this year, and the Senate buried them, the American Public would have moved on to other matters long before the election.
They would only remember that Trump was not found guilty, and therefore come to the false conclusion that he was innocent.
If Articles of Impeachment are produced during the primary cycle, then they will be a centerpiece of the Democrat's campaigns.
McTurtle could still bury them, but the time to get the short attention span electorate redirected to another shiny object would be insufficient.
At least that is what I think their plan is.
