Pelosi struggles to explain to public & caucus what "we are on a path" means. Maybe more importantly, no one seems to understand how quick impeachment will move once House votes to start inquiry. In '98, it was 2 months; '74, less than 6. https://t.co/BohIFc6Q2I — PolitiTweet.org

@BresPolitico @AJentleson I make no crystal ball prediction of 2020 and impeachment impact. I realize 2000 is muddled, open for debate. What’s not up for debate is 1998: impeachment was a disaster then for Rs. Anyone trying to rewrite that history is doing fiction. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

@AJentleson @BresPolitico Exactly. Get past the headline. Ron agrees with Bres and me. Impeachment hurt Rs in 1998. That is what we both said. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

What happened in 2000 was much more muddled, many, many other issues. Harder to measure the impact of impeachment. But, without question, House and Senate Rs paid a political price in 1998. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

The GOP price for impeachment was paid in '98. House Rs voted to launch impeachment 3-ish weeks before '98 midterms, then lost 5 House seats in 6-year itch midterm & net zero in Senate. House Rs saved Harry Reid from early retirement. He instead beat John Ensign by 428 votes. — PolitiTweet.org

@brendanmdunn Not for nothing, he got the # of GOP no votes wrong. It was 26, not 25. 22 voted yes, with him, 5 were not present so therefore 26 opposed, not 25. It's not a big deal, but it was a budget bill, so, numbers. https://t.co/n5RuwkIgLn — PolitiTweet.org

@michael_steel @seungminkim @ChuckGrassley Grassley to me 2 1/2 years ago about 2022, when he'll be 89: "If I can run 3 miles 4 times a week, I'll be running for reelection.

@matthewamiller @AJentleson I know that in his 8 years as majority leader, HMR loooooooved when people told him how to run the Senate, especially House members. So I'm sure he has set his expectation level accurately with his advice here. — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

Some Senate Rs say they will get veto-proof majority to block Trump's 5% tariffs on Mexican goods. But, remember, this will require 55-60 House Rs to defy DJT, as House must also override veto. That's a tall order. Long ways to go here. https://t.co/INFsPht47M — PolitiTweet.org
