Miranda Devine makes a pretty convincing argument here that the impeachment hearing held the past two weeks to nail Trump actually helped him!
Devine: Impeachment fiasco is a Dem gift to Donald Trump

key excerpts:
After two weeks of public impeachment hearings, we are no closer to evidence that Trump committed an impeachable offense over Ukraine. Inappropriate, perhaps, but that’s his middle name.
The partisan audience — and media — sitting in the hearings each day, cheering along Schiff’s cunning narrative, has misled the Democrats into thinking it has popular backing.
Like the boy who cried wolf, if you spend long enough shrieking that Trump is the devil incarnate, eventually people switch off.
...more
The Democrats’ all-smoke-no-fire game has turned off independent voters already disillusioned with the failed Russia collusion probe.
“You’ve seen the polls, I’m going through the roof,” Trump boasted on “Fox & Friends” on Friday morning. “In Wisconsin, in the swing states, I’m well up … because the people get it. It’s a witch hunt.”
He’s not wrong.
...still more
As Democrats head home for Thanksgiving to take the temperature of their districts, polls spell impending doom.
Among all-important independent voters, opposition to impeaching Trump leaped from 37 percent to 47 percent over the first week of the public hearings, according to a Politico-Morning Consult poll released Tuesday.
An Emerson poll released Wednesday similarly found a rise in opposition to impeachment among independents, from 39 percent last month to 49 percent.
Meanwhile, in Wisconsin, which Trump won by just 23,000 votes in 2016, a Marquette University poll published Wednesday found 53 percent of all registered voters opposed impeachment, up slightly from last month — and that includes opposition from a whopping 94 percent of Republicans.
The poll also showed Trump flipping the tables to lead every Democratic presidential candidate, including Joe Biden by three points.
Then there’s the Blexit metric. Two polls last week showed Trump’s approval among black voters up around 34 percent. This is the Democrats’ worst nightmare since they need around 85 percent black support to win a presidential race.
...finally
“With no experience I come to Washington. I’ve defeated the Clinton dynasty, the Bush dynasty and the Obama whatever you want to call it … [and] the hatred is incredible.”
It really is. For better or worse, Trump was elected as the great disruptor to change “business as usual” in Washington, to drain the swamp.
The past two weeks, we’ve heard from the bureaucratic state just how much they hate Trump’s disruption.
Tough luck, says America.
