Trump’s Impeachment Strategy Is Opposite of Clinton’s

David Frum: “Donald Trump may have no impeachment war room, but he does have an impeachment strategy. He deployed it this past weekend.”

“It’s the same strategy he brought to his presidential campaign, then to his presidency: all base, all the time. In 1998 and ’99, Bill Clinton directed his anti-impeachment messaging to voters who did not necessarily approve of him, but who feared impeachment as disruptive. Trump’s message is aimed only at his most all-in supporters, those who see him as a victim of plots and persecution by shadowy, unseen forces.”

“It’s as if the Trump campaign has read the Clinton playbook, and at every turn opted for the opposite.”
