"...No matter the size of any new Democratic House majority, the conference will contain several new members who reflect the angry liberal mob, which seems to make up the Democratic Party's core. Nearly 80 percent of Democrats told CNN’s pollsters in September that Trump should be impeached, and more than six million people have signed a petition demanding it.

If presumptive House Speaker Nancy Pelosi travels that road (something her base will demand), it will be another log on a political overreach fire the Democrats stoke daily. Time and again, Democrats are handed issues with which they could truly damage Trump but fail by acting crazy.


...At a dinner earlier this year among some experienced political hands, I posited, because of the internal struggles looming for the Democrats, that Trump had better than a 50 percent chance of being re-elected. The table erupted in laughter. My guffawing dinner companions might be right — a recession could hit, or, less likely, special counsel Robert Mueller could drop a bombshell. Either could sink the incumbent president.

But many Republicans couldn't fathom Obama being re-elected in 2012, either. And it's starting to feel like a rerun in which Trump gets the last laugh."
