WSJ to Dems: Impeachment’s a trap — set by Trump

Call this the Unified Theory of Politics, at least in the Trump era. The Wall Street Journal’s Gerald Seib wonders why Donald Trump seems to be baiting Democrats into starting impeachment proceedings. He concludes that impeachment might be the easiest way for Trump to win a second term, especially since he and his campaign don’t appear to be doing much to expand their electoral footprint:
One of the mysteries of the president’s political calculus remains why he exerts almost no effort trying to expand that base, which is a minority of the country and, it would seem, simply not enough to give him a re-election victory in 2020. Perhaps, though, the calculation is that his voters will care a lot more about stopping any impeachment effort than Democratic voters will care about pursuing one.
