Top Democrat Says GOP Impeachment Talk Helping

DCCC Chairman Steve Israel (D-NY) said the Republican lawsuit against and push for impeachment of President Obama is paying dividends for his party, according to The Hill.

Said Israel: “I think that the Republican strategy of lawsuits, approaching impeachment, is fundamentally misfiring.”

He added: “Look, I understand their strategy is intended to gin up their base, but it’s having the unintended consequence of moving our base in a midterm election and also moving persuadable voters, swing voters to us in a midterm election.”
