Micah, my expectation would be that impeachment would benefit a candidate like Buttigieg, who’s not really linked with the national political establishment and not in Congress. He has been doing better since it started, but I’m not sure that’s linked. And the kind of impeachment fatigue and backlash against the impeaching party that happened in 1998 doesn’t seem to be happening. So maybe my initial theory is wrong.

I’ve been waiting to see a good take on how impeachment will affect the Democratic primary (as in, who does well in that situation), and … I haven’t. Is that just evidence that impeachment won’t affect the primary, or am I missing something?

Yeah, Perry. The wealth tax has been tried in other countries and it hasn’t really worked as they wanted. There are also questions about its constitutionality.
