Why Democrats will come to regret impeaching President Trump

Even so, Democrats should be thinking long and hard about the precedent they are establishing right now. Trump almost certainly will survive this effort, and the next Democratic president to face a Republican House will be much more likely to be impeached. Like “borking,” impeachment will by this example be made an ordinary part of our political process — leaving the nation much worse off and achieving nothing of lasting value.

The next Democratic president should not be surprised if he gets impeached on some shoddy pretext. He won’t be able to say he didn’t see it coming.
