Important points a short time ago on @Morning_Joe. It's a mistake to assume that Trump's 2020 prospects hinge on impeachment. Even if (as you'd be wise to expect), Senate Republicans cower and don't dare vote to remove him for fear of the king's wrath, he's still hurting. 1/
He's still the guy that gets laughed at by our (former) Western allies, and even by people in media in the country he has reduced America into a sidekick of: Russia. Only surprise is that only one ad has dropped to mock him for it. theroot.com/former-vice-pr…
He's underwater in state poll after state poll, because people aren't dumb. They noticed that he and Republicans slashed billionaires' and big corporations' taxes and handed them the bill. How many people got sticker shock on their tax bills this year? morningconsult.com/tracking-trump…
He's put farmers on welfare (Trump bucks!) after his tariffs caused them record bankruptcies and took away their export customers. Meanwhile he's pushing nearly a million Americans into poverty by shoving them off food stamps. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/n…
And that's not even a new thing. Trump's party has made a science out of punching the poor in the gut. And since they refuse to help save the planet from climate change, and think you can "reimplant" ectopic pregnancies-that's the only science they accept. latimes.com/politics/la-na…
Trump's best talking point for re-election is the low unemployment rate, and yes people have jobs: their main job, their Lyft driving gig on the side and their other night job. But even on jobs he is falling short of Obama and Clinton's standards. nbcnews.com/business/econo… 
And that's before you even get to Trump opening the doors to white nationalists while closing them to immigrants, snatching thousands of migrant children from their parents and letting at least half a dozen die, and turning America into a global villain. theguardian.com/us-news/2019/d…
Trump has a whole lot of re-elect problems that have nothing to do with the gross corruption, bribery, extortion and bungling conspiracy theory chase that he's getting impeached for. The biggest of them being people's exhaustion with living like this.
