    Impeachment may not result in Trump's removal from office, but it would still be hugely significant. Would convert the House into an outright adversarial body. Consume media attention. And Trump would be only the third president ever impeached. A. Johnson, Clinton, Trump

        I don't buy the argument that Trump would somehow automatically benefit from impeachment. The precedent people cite for that is Clinton. Well, that's only one prior example. Pretty small sample size. We have no idea how precisely this would play out. Unique set of circumstances

        Impeachment would obviously inflame and energize Trump's "base" but guess what, Trump needs more than his "base" to win re-election. He won because of Obama-Trump voters in rural areas who aren't Hannity-watching partisans. And Clinton was impeached after he'd been re-elected

        Michael: If, after the exhaustive Mueller exercise (rooted in specious premises), Mueller did not issue a decisive case for impeachment...the entire exercise is a wasteful, selfish partisan errand. I am beyond tired of it. For those who oppose 45, beat him in 18mo. or go home.

        Not if at the same time, indictments are handed to Brennan, Comey, Halper and others. Or worse for them, if they impeached first, then indictments, then election. I'm not saying I expect indictments (I don't). Just saiyin those House Dems better be careful of karma.

        Many people believe impeachment=removal, if they were old enough they'd remember when Bill Clinton was impeached, and still in office.

        Hugely significant? No, just more partisan bloviating. The House is already an institution with a strong partisan divide.

        “Would convert the House into outright adversarial body” is so funny. Wait until you find out what the GOP House did with Benghazi for years.

        Would it stop him from being able to run in 2020? If it wouldn't then I can see it as a great tool to get people to vote him back in unfortunately.

        On the positive, I would think that when that dog and pony show is over, they will move on from these perpetual investigations.

        Dems don't want literally to impeach, their version of that is to continue to subpoena and fight in court. They know they can't impeach him and at the end, the country will be sick and tired of the impeachment telenovela. Just bothering everyday is good enough for them.

        Dems will lose the house if they impeach. Normal people want compromise and a government that actually governs.
