Political Cornflakes: Republicans argue that Democrats would try to impeach Trump if the party takes over the House majority in midterms

Republicans argue that Democrats would try to impeach Trump if the party takes over the House majority in midterms. State legislators have started fundraising just weeks after the session ended. San Juan County Republicans say new voting districts have disenfranchised their voice.

Happy Monday. Republicans campaigning in midterm elections are trying to stop a potential blue wave in November. And they’ve developed an interesting argument to convince voters: If they lose the majority in the House, they say, Democrats’ first move will be to impeach President Donald Trump. The party thinks it just might work to increase fundraising and potentially gain some moderate votes.
