Have Democrats shot themselves in the foot with impeachment?

Sure looks like it with this damning piece about voter sentiment for them in this Axios focus-group piece:

SAGINAW, Mich. — Some swing voters here who voted for Barack Obama and then Donald Trump are firmly in Trump’s camp now — and they're sick of impeachment. Why it matters: The two-plus hour conversation revealed major warning signs for the Democratic Party in a crucial swing county that will be a pivotal area to win in 2020. This was the biggest takeaway from our Engagious/FPG focus group last week, which included 10 voters who flipped from Obama in 2012 to Trump in 2016.

While a focus group is not a statistically significant sample like a poll, these responses show how some voters are thinking and talking about the 2020 election in crucial counties.

Why Saginaw matters: Trump won Saginaw County by just over 1% in 2016, and Obama won by nearly 12% in 2012.

The details from the focus group get truly horrible the farther you read. Voters view Democrats as do-nothing losers only out for themselves and enjoy Trump's "I don't give a s---" attitude, which is playing well. There's a ton of good stuff, and it's all bad news to Democrats. These voters have Democrats' numbers.

In fairness to Axios, which did the work and reported what it found fairly, I won't cut and paste anything else, but do click on the link for a truly satisfying read that gets better and better the more you go. Schadenfreude's always fun. Those Michiganders quoted sound like...us.
