If trump’s popularity gets into the teens, the midterms turn a lot of reactionaries out of office, and he slaps around more and more elected representatives (this last being the only thing I would truly bet on), then trump will start to look like someone dumpable with sufficiently few repercussions that they will try it. That’s when impeachment will happen if it does – when trump’s base shrinks to non-voting troglodytes only. Once again, I have to repeat. If you were a Republican, would you want GOP to be forever known as the only party, ever, that had a President that was impeached and removed from office? That’s a permanent, and enormous, black mark. Cannot ever be removed. It would be utter stupidity for Republicans to inflict it on themselves. In spite of what a lot of posters here may think, Republican leadership is not stupid. It won’t happen. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/name-the-impeachment-date-for-president-trump/776879)._
