Does anyone really think the spineless Republicans will impeach this nut?

[redstatebluegirl]

I really wonder if they have the balls to do it. It really needs to be done, I hate Pence too but I don't think he is crazy. If they do it, will we see a civil war? There are a ton of crazy Trump people here in Oklahoma. I think there would be a serious uproar if the were impeached but i think that is the only way for the country to survive.

Truly, will he be impeached at some point before he destroys us?

[patricia92243]

1. I don't think impeached, but a way will be found for him to resign and

save face.

[underpants]

2. No

They have a blank stamp and they know it.

[Turbineguy]

3. It needs more time to stew.

The base needs to reach it's disappointment stage. That of course will be delayed and thwarted by RW Hate radio and Fox News.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. They will if polls start suggesting that he's a liability

for their future election prospects. The deplorables who make up a significant part of the GOP base still like Trump, but if things start to go to hell for them - the jobs he promised don't appear; a trade war damages the farm and blue-collar economy; the ACA is repealed without a replacement, for example - the deplorables could turn on him and then the spineless GOP would feel safe in unloading him.

29. That's what I think too.

The Repubs in Congress will throw The Donald over if he jeopardizes THEIR jobs.

[CanonRay]

5. Only if he has a complete, and public, mental breakdown.

[dchill]

10. Hopefully not involving the biscuit.

[0rganism]

15. how will it be different from what we see now?

anyone else behaving as Trump has would be open to serious scrutiny. hell, a toddler acting "Trumpy" would get a time-out and (depending on parenting philosophy) maybe a spanking

[CanonRay]

24. I don't know, and I really don't want that picture in my mind.

Somehow I know it will involve bodily waste products.

[mn9driver]

6. When it becomes apparent that GOP control of the House or Senate is imperiled.

Not before. The GOP is a criminal enterprise motivated by only two things:

Money and Power

[Frogg]

7. Don't think they will impeach...

The damage to REPUBLITRAITORS would be catacylismic. I think they will contrive some bullshit health reason ie. dRumpf's penis has grown too large to sit behind desk in Oval Office or maybe dRumpf has been struck by lightning and his brain function has accelerated akin to John Travolta's in movie Phenomena which leads to his being too smart to be potus...nothing would shock me at the lengths the maggots will go to protect their baby emperor and the dirty base. But at some point, he will drag them down with him and they will have to scrape him off.

[LonePirate]

8. They need him to sign all of their poisonous legislation before they cut him loose.

[GP6971]

9. Therre is the 25th amendment

that could used, but I'm doubtful that would fly.

[coco22]

11. They won't do anything until its too late..

and/or until they can find a way for Dems to get the blame with them. Their stupid base will start screeching once they see they are in the same barrel with everyone else,ignorant MFKERS!

[NurseJackie]

12. Nope. He'll serve all four years.

At first, I thought he'd be impeached ... but I was just projecting my hopes rather than accepting reality.

[SaschaHM]

13. Maybe in 2019 if polls suggest that his tenure has been a complete liability for the party.

Impeaching/removing him would be a way of shifting the blame and keeping him from the top of the ticket.

I think the real question is will someone break ranks and primary him in 2020.

[Bengus81]

14. Watch on Monday,bet not ONE OTHER spineless Repub will vote to STOP the conformation of DeVos...

So why would they vote to toss Drumph out on his ear???

[Buckeyeblue]

16. No

Let's face it. While impeachment can be relatively easy, removal from office is unprecedented. I wouldn't be surprised if he resigned at some point, though. Right now this is new and fun for him. At some point it'll get old. And lonely. He'll resign to save the family business or something like that.

[alwaysinflux]

17. Hoping he gets caught...

...in this unholy alliance he has with Putin. I mean, he appears to be very careless and reckless, so surely there is evidence to be found??

[heather blossom]

18. No

As long as he signs there legislation, they won't care what he does.

[mnhtnbb]

19. I don't think the Congressional Republicans have the balls to impeach Trump

and he is clearly not qualified for the office and clearly doesn't support the Constitution.

That being said, I doubt he will be in office at the end of 2017. My best guess is that he will die in office.

[eleny]

20. I heard that they're getting together with big donors at Mar A Lago this weekend

So, to your question - not a chance.

[Orrex]

21. Of course they will.

If he doesn't force the point in the interim, they'll either impeach him in the run-up to the 2018 midterms or before campaign 2020 begins. Either way, they'll paint themselves as the party of responsibility willing to unseat one of their own for the good of the country, and they'll all sail into re-election thanks to the fawning admiration heaped on the by a perennial uncritical media.

They'll cast Pence as the voice of reason, steadfast and ideally suited for the office of president, and they'll paint him that way again in 2024.

Until then, though, they'll use him to push through every crazy legislative notion that can be broadly aligned with their overall goals. That way, once he's out, they can roll back the most batshit crazy elements of Trump's lunatic administration while having significantly advanced the agenda as a whole.

[rock]

22. Well you see the conundrum

Impeach him, they're too cowardly. Not impeach him, good-bye cozy job.

[benld74]

23. My buddy feels they won't

Until they get what they want

[Missn-Hitch]

25. I predict two more weeks. Impeached by April 20. Enter President Pence.

[Crunchy Frog]

26. I would just as soon that they didn't.

Their basic agenda would remain unchanged, but their efficiency in carrying it out would dramatically increase.

The current chaos and incompetence in implementing this agenda are good for our side and bad for theirs.

[elfin]

27. Only if they fear losing their seats if they don't

If the Kochs and their ilk want them to and threaten to stop the money if they don't, or if their voting constituents start screaming every damn day and push primary opponents on them, or if unicorns on rainbows deliver fantastically popular progressive opponents.

Then it gets serious. Until then, he is safe -- and he knows it.

[Skittles]

28. they have balls, and they are cowards

that's because male body parts are NOT REQUIRED FOR COURAGE
