With the House GOP stunt saying Mueller should be gone & after blocking Garland, I have

little faith that they will do the right thing if Mueller had evidence that include a trump video where trump says "yeah I did it."

I don't know how this ends, but am concerned because the House especially is right wing, they have no decency, no morality.

1. As long as Trump advances their agenda, they have no reason to stop him

None.

To date, Trump has done absolutely nothing substantive that's not 100% in line with the GOP's platform. Until and unless he compromises their chance of holding the majority in 2018 and 2020, they will do nothing.

Trump could declare himself El Presidente for life, and the GOP Congress would do nothing but investigate Benghazi.

And by "better than that," I suspect that you mean "worse than that."

But, he has done a great job for them gutting everything decent from the executive branch.

3. I generally agree, however, there have been several republican Senators that have visibly come out

against what trump has been doing, and I believe they will not sit idly by if Mueller comes out with impeachable offenses.

Like you said though, the House is the problem, and that is where impeachment needs to start, so I am as pessimistic as you are that trump will actually be removed from office, which is why 2018 is so important

6. I hope, that like with one of the GOP "health" care bills, that once a couple say

that they are out, an avalanche happens.

I guess the House could vote correctly because you would only need so many GOPers to vote with Dems, but still, I bet it would be close sadly.
