No Republican politician is going to vote against Trump and still have countrywide support to be his successor.
I don’t think she believes or expects to get any support in the senate.
Doubtful. At the end of the day american bipartisan still functions as a you scratch my back i scratch your back.
Sounds like a pretty good plan to me.
Right now the public support for impeachment is at 37%, once the story starts shaking lose a lot more incriminating details and if the house subpoenas other conversations he has had like for example if he had pushed Xi Jinping to investigate Biden's son's business dealings in Shanghai for a favourable trade deal, you can bet that number starts going higher and once that reaches a certain point, its hard for anyone to bank on the Trump base alone to rescue them.
Not sure I agree. They’ll constantly be looking towards the post-Trump future, and whoever is going to take that mantle has to either embrace him to the end (if he survives) or be ready to show leadership as he’s overthrown. If impeachment starts bringing out all sorts of misdeeds, then embracing him is going to tarnish them with the same brush.
Post-Ukraine news its 47%.
David Remnick mentioned 37% this week, not sure if that was before or after the Ukraine story broke.

In other words: you better not because otherwise we ll release you-know-what Donnie.
37% was before Ukraine broke, although to be fair I think the question asked was something like ‘If it was shown that the president pressured Ukraine to investigate his political opponents, would you vote to impeach?’. As always the question phrasing shapes the poll results.
Both deleted. What was it?
I’ll bet they do. Panicking Putin.
Well into next year.
As I mentioned above, this process will last well into next year in which case he could be 'found guilty' and removed from office via the public vote.
That's because impeachment is specifically a political tool.
Just imagine all the witnesses and the damage they could cause Trump. But like I’ve said before I just can’t see him sitting there on trial. He’ll resign before he’ll put himself through that and risk being humiliated.
That's the key really - how much dirt will they dig up before Donnie breaks. This being anyone else I'd have to some faith they ll do the right thing eventually but as said many times before - I fear he will rather bring the country down to its knees and have to be dragged out of there kicking and screaming.
Oh I do hope not, I just want him gone. He won’t manage to get through a hearing without lying though. Can he take the 5th?
Some psychologist reckoned the opposite, that as a narcissist despite the risks he wouldn’t be able to resist the attention it would bring. Basically the whole world focusing on him 24/7 for months.
So there's no judicial tool that can be used against the President. Is he under legal immunity for the duration of his term?

They’ve probably got a better idea than me but I still can’t see him sitting through a trial. He’ll lose it and insult them all. Could be entertaining though.
When has he backed away from anything, however smart or foolish? He always doubles down. And with a Republican Senate majority he will probably see it as a low risk challenge.
Oh yeah, he’d definitely go to pieces under the pressure. But he’s a giant egotist, he won’t believe that until it’s happening.
Or.. found innocent in time for the election and used as ammunition in his campaign.
He is not, there is nothing in the constitution that says that. This entire ‘President is above the law’ bullshit is purely from the DoJ’s internal policies that sprang up after Nixon.
The man is a comedic geniusIn his previous court cases he either won or settled out of court when it looked like he was going to lose.
I'd rate this as a more likely scenario than getting booted if I was an odds maker on reasons of not getting a second term:
The President of the United States everyone.
I thought it was until I checked.
