Pick A Good Metric

Steve Benen notes that the ranks of the brave Republicans, which I state with only a little sarcasm, who voted to impeach President Trump continues to thin from retirement, and he has a thought on the matter:

It is quite possible that of the House Republicans’ Impeachment 10, none of these members will be on Capitol Hill in the new year. Watch this space.

Well, yes. BUT – how many of these seats will be lost to Democrats or even moderate Republicans, rather than MAGA Republicans? That’s the real metric, isn’t it, Trump’s capacity to wreck the electoral map, not for Democrats, but for Republicans – even as badly flawed as the Democrats have gotten for this year’s election, and if that upsets my gentle reader, please review the Virginia results of last year, and whether or not the Democrats are rushing to correct their errors.
