Fox News political contributor Karl Rove said Thursday that if Democrats continue pushing impeachment proceedings for President Trump, they could alienate a vital voting demographic they need to capture in 2020. "It puts them at odds with the independents who are going to end up deciding the 2020 election," Rove said while appearing on "The Daily Briefing." MUELLER REPORT IGNITES NEW DEM BATTLE OVER IMPEACHMENTAlthough some Democrats have called for impeachment, polling has revealed that independents largely oppose that. Rove cited post-Mueller report polls which showed both a drop in independents' support for impeachment and more independent opposition to such a move. "Let the Democrats spend the time talking about an investigation and impeachment," he said.
