It probably hurt Al Gore in 2000 if not Clinton directly. Newt Gingrich energized the conservatives and those conservatives voted for Bush in high enough numbers for an electoral college win, on a moral values agenda.
Meanwhile Gore wasn't able to rely on campaigning with Clinton.
I think the impeachment hurt the Republicans. They lost Congressional seats. But the affair hurt Gore. People were tired of the general Clinton sleaze. In 2020 a lot of people were tired of the general Trump drama.
If Trump was already impeached, then what good is a 2nd impeachment? I'm not a Trump supporter. It just seems that it is futile to impeach someone that won't leave office, and that has already been impeached.
How did he even run a second time if he had already been impeached , anyway?
Besides losing his ability to run for office again, losing his salary, he also won’t have access to the intelligence briefings. That for me is the biggest reason he needs to be impeached and never allowed in government again.
We've all seen what his followers are willing to do, if they thought he could be president again.
Best not to risk it. Best to kick this toad to the sewer.
Yep he’s going down this time on principal alone.

This is just the beginning, the Republican party has a really big problem. Part of the reason y’all won was because of Trump and his band of loonies. Those loonies now identify as Republicans so good luck getting them out of your party. Most real conservatives independents like myself won’t go no where near that hornets nest till they are Long gone or they form their own party. Look for Thump Jr and Alex Jones 2024

An impeachment is merely a charge of wrongdoing; think of it as an indictment. Whether a federal official is guilty of said charge is decided by the Senate.
Besides losing his ability to run for office again,.
Wrong.

In Trump's case, he could theoretically be impeached, removed from office, and still run for reelection and become president for a second term if he wins.

He wasn't convicted in the Senate in the first trial. The point this time is to get the house and senate to go along, so that he can never run for president again (currently, he's still eligible to run in 2024, ala Grover Cleveland)
Removes pension, secret service protection and he can never run for office.
This is why he's being impeached and hopefully removed in the senate this time. He should never be allowed to run for any office ever again, just like he's banned from ever having any kind of grifter foundation ever again.
Congress can not turn a blind eye to Trump's crime of trying to over throw a legitimate election. It doesn't matter if he did it one day before he leaves office. He must be held accountable, and the only remedy is impeachment.
