      1. With all the Mueller news, there's increasing chatter about impeachment. But realistically, it's still a long shot.

      2. It's easy to imagine Dems regaining House & impeaching. But to actually remove Trump you need 2/3 in Senate. A very high hurdle.

      3. Best case scenario for Dems in 2018 election would still leave them needing 15 Republican senators to remove Trump. But GOP buy-in is hard.

      4. Will some GOP break with Trump to remove? The fact is, even as Trump is very unpopular he remains strong with GOP base.

          5. Some thoughts on why Dems shouldn't get hopes up on impeachment & instead pursue other ways of fighting Trump/Trumpism: https://newrepublic.com/article/146098/democrats-dangerous-obsession-impeachment …

          GOP buy-in will be a bit easier if 2018 is a wave election.

          Dems must be wondering, in a best case scenario, how much value could be extracted from even a futile impeachment trial.

          Airing laundry, forcing actual votes on it, all can have benefits. And GOP has paid no price for cost of futile ACA repeal votes.

          It's 2/3 sitting senators right? If there are any indictments that put some out of reach of voting then it may be possible. Depends on how dirty rnc/McConnell is.

          The GOP base is the problem. They have hijacked the Republican Party.

          True. But while 45 is popular with the base as a percentag, the number of self-identified GOP is shrinking.

          Evicting him from presidency might be the best (and only?) way to put him into disgrace with that base.

          If they do it, almost all will do it. But are they willing to even plan it, when someone will run to press and spill, bringing wrath down? It’s not worth trying if there’s a chance it will fail.

          The key break point would be Trump hitting sub-30 in polls, including daily Gallup. If he gets to 25-point approval range, anything is possible, because a Dem landslide is more likely. The other possibility of a trigger event: T's named an unindicted co-conspirator like Nixon.
