So is it happening? Will it go the way of Clinton and nothing comes of it?

"Five articles of impeachment will be introduced, alleging obstruction of justice, violations of both the foreign and domestic emoluments clause, undermining the federal judiciary and undermining the freedom of the press." -snip
Really depends how the Russia probe goes what what Mueller comes out with, imo. It's going to need massive Republican support and if Mueller drops a bomb, especially coupled with Trump's increasing lack of "winning", there could be a shift of enough Republicans wanting him out as well before he damages the party further.

I honestly think it is getting to that point. I'll create another thread, shortly, to show you why.

As of right now I see no chance in it happening. I think you'd need Mueller to bring charges on Trump to get the Republican support needed.

Even they don't think it's going to work. It's just virtue signaling.

The point of Republicans breaking away in mass from Trump? Yeah, I can see that happening sooner than later, especially if the Tax Reform bill fails, as that's going to look back poorly on Trump/his admin, as these wins and failures always do on the incumbent president.

4 years from now the official Republican stance will be that Trump was never a Republican. The GOP is gonna disown Trump like a woman getting an abortion.

In this one specific case, I tend to agree with Surter, I think for republicans to turn on Trump on this issue there needs to be some huge bombshell like Mueller bringing charges or something akin to that. And I don't think that will happen. Trump is still and probably will remain extremely popular among the hardcore base of the GOP, so it will be too dangerous for most of them to turn on Trump, as Trump is probably more popular with most of their constituents than they are.

It would be hilarious if Trump, after getting impeached, came out and said, "Wrong. It was all a Democratic ploy. Started 10 years ago. Here's our encrypted proof with hashes. I'm a double-crosser. I win. You lose."
We would need a MASSIVE amount of febreze to help with the collective democratic pants shitting. And we'd need rain-boots to wade through all the democratic tears.

I think there is a higher chance Trump just ran because Obama insulted him at that one dinner than it is he is just a Democrat.

If he does get peached it is just a guarantee the same thing will happen to the next Dem Prez.
Which would be a good thing.

Right. Had this exact conversation with my old boss. My old boss, who is a staunch Democrat, thinks that Pence would not be able to move any of his positions as there's not even universal support within the GOP for his "uglier" positions.
But what we'd get is a presidential president which he feels is better for America, right now, after the reputational damage Trump has done.
I agree with that.

If Pence ended up towing the line and not implementing some of the absurd policies he is in favor of, then yes, I would agree.

This page tracks the Impeach Trump movement:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efforts_to_impeach_Donald_Trump
According to polls, Trump is now at 49% "yes" to impeach him.
In order to definitively say a majority supports impeaching Trump, considering the quack polling that pollsters were doing in the 2016 election, that number needs to jump as high as 56%.
On top of that, to actually remove Trump, Congress needs to be at a 2/3 support for removing Trump from office: won't happen.

Well, I'd think an impeachment would seriously diminish whatever political capital pence still has.
Silent Master
Do they realize that if nothing comes of this, all they've done is hand Trump and his die-hard supporters a "win".
By that I mean, Trump will likely use a failed attempt as proof that he's winning and most of his die-hards will eat it up.

Yeah, they're doing this way too prematurely.
It also deflects attention from sh!t you can easily destroy Trump over, like, ya know, his epa not valuing science, his support for clean coal, making it legal to purchase elephant trophies in America?

I agree with you and this is why, IMO, the left really needs to stop with this nazi and Hitler stuff. Not all of them do it, but we know Trump isn't Hitler. But when people constantly compare him to that you are setting the bar very low. It's too easy to surpass it.
It's like if you have a kid in school and you say "Just don't get an F".

Trump is more likely to choke to death on a chicken nugget or have a heart attack than get impeached

I still don't think he's being removed from office, but being impeached for something like lying or incompetence, I think there's a chance now before 2020.

Sorry, I don't buy the "Fear Pence" angle to shut don't anti-trump people. If Trump were to be removed it would be in a year or more, meaning we'd have maybe two years of Pence. So what? He'd likely not win in 2020 due to being a whack-religious Conservative and the stain Trump would have left on the party would be huge.

I think he'd be more like Bush than Trump. But I also think he'd be more competant at actually getting the republican agenda through. Trump seems too chaotic and self defeating to get much done. Like the most help he can offer congress with taxes and other big pieces of legislation is to just shut up and leave it to them. Pence would be able to rally conservatives because they like/respect Pence. Which is untrue for many of them when it comes to Trump. So in that respect I think Pence would be worse. However, I also think Pence is far less likely to trigger an international incident or engage in an avoidable war than Trump.

I get that, but I will take obnoxious over insane policies personally. Although I will retract that if Trump is proven to be a sexual predator. Also, I would be open to the idea if Pence could be convinced to weaken his stances on certain issues.

One of the grounds for impeachment is obstruction of justice, in which Pence is also implicated, so if Trump goes down for that (a charge to which he admitted on national television), then Pence would likely go down too, in which case, the Speaker of the House becomes President.
If the Republicans retain control of the House, it will be Paul Ryan. If the Democrats take control of the House, they can literally name anybody, including Hillary Clinton.

DarthTrucelent, what major accomplishments has Trump achieved, considering we're close to approaching his first year as POTUS? What makes your willy hard over Trump?
Darth Truculent
It's not that brother. Everyone (including myself) fully expected Hillary to win even though I voted for Trump. I was absolutely stunned that Trump was elected, but also at the same time elated. I originally was a Ted Cruz supporter, but I only voted Trump because I wanted a conservative Supreme Court judge - nothing more.
Do I support everything he does? Absolutely not. I hate his tax reform proposal because it would raise my taxes because I live in California. I have an idea about how to deal with the DACA kids (but nobody would like it anyway - mandatory military or government service for 4 years and then citizenship ).
Politics is so rotten these days that I'm disappointed in our government. Politicians are supposed to look out for the people not themselves.

Someone made an argument that Trump should be impeached for the same reasons that Andrew Johnson was: he's too divisive and is turning this country against itself. Granted, they were hot off the front lines of a civil war back then and the situation is not similar. But violence is breaking out. We do appear to be more polarized than ever.

Not all the polls were wrong. IBD/TIPP had Trump winning. His approval rating with them is not good. Not. Good. At. All.
Granted, Trumpers still love him and they likely always will, no matter how many wet shits he takes on the office and country, but he's losing others who voted for him over just to not vote for Clinton fast.

Sure, some, I've seen those "I trusted you Trump!" type comments from those crying Trumpers and their butthurt gives me strength.
But the Trumper mass still has around a 75ish approval rating for Trump, iirc. Has it changed drastically recently, within two months or so? If so, spill. I want to bask in the glory.

Yeah, that's overall all and not just his base, no? IBD/TIPP has him at 38-39% now. Will see what happens in Dec and if him endorsing a sexual predator (Moore) affects that.

It might. However, the Trump support is getting smaller and smaller as time goes on, according to the polls. I know, those damn polls were wrong before but they were wrong by a margin, not completely wrong.
The polls were wrong by a margin of 2%. That's not enough to make Trump popular. Not tat Trump won on the basis of popularity..

This "half the country voted for Trump" mindset is also wrong. Trump garnered 62.9 million votes (Clinton 65.8, she was more popular). There's about 310million US citizens (ie voters) in the US and abroad.
So only about 20% of the country voted for Trump.

250,056,000 eligible voters, estimated:
http://www.electproject.org/2016g
138,847,000 voter turnout in the 2016 Presidential Election.
62,984,825 - Trump
65,853,516 - Clinton
Of Eligible Voters:
~25.2% Voted for Trump
~26.3% Voted for Hillary
Of the people who turned out for the election:
~45.4% Voted for Trump
~47.4% Voted for Hillary
Of the Total US Population in 2016, 324,400,000:
~19.4% Voted for Trump
~20.3% Voted for Hillary
I would caution on using that last number as it is a garbage number mixing in bad variables (non-eligible voters) with good variables (eligible voters).

Average was not 2 points, ever. The lowest end was 2 points, sure. But the highest end was 6 and the average was 3.3.
As I pointed out, some were off by 18 points, in favor of Hillary. How do you bungle that so badly? That should be the real conspiracy, here.

Again double D, you're conflating the polls of a few states with national polls. We're not discussing Trump's popularity in battleground states, we're discussing his popularity nationally.
Cherrypicking the polls in a few states to say I'm parroting a factually incorrect narrative is parroting a
Bad variables like the tens of thousands of voters(mostly democrat) per state who don't vote due to Voter ID policy that even the conservative controlled supreme court admitted was "partisan".

After reviewing both of those, when you see that you're wrong, because you have data and I have directly cited the national data, please admit you're wrong.

As you've asked for evidence, the polling average had Clinton up by 2 %

Onto your argument.
You can't use a selection of some polls...

Whether or not you trust induvidual polls, there's no reason to distrust the average of the polls holistically.

Also, I already cited a source that says 3.3, not 2 like you claim. And it also stated a range of 2-6.
Lie more. Back peddle more. See where it gets you.

I did the math from that site, Real Clear Politics.
Average is 5.04 in favor of Hillary.
I'm sorry, man. You're even wronger than originally thought.

All three of the sources you cited said 404 error when I clicked them. I, off course, posted a working link with the most recent real clear politics polling which had Clinton up 2.1 % points nationally. She coincidentally won the popular vote by almost 2 percentage points.
But let's go with your math over real clear politics' given your self-declared expertise.
National polling averages, unlike your links, are reliable.

You're such a sore loser and a terrible troll.
Look, I found the same article:
http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/305133-pollsters-suffer-huge-embarrassment
If the link doesn't work, google it.
And I did the math for you to clearly see: it's 5.04%, not 2.1%
Are you a true idiot or do you not understand why people were upset and shocked why Trump started winning in places he should not have been? Be honest...do you truly not know that places like CNN showing Hillary ahead by 24 points, makes no sense at all?
Average: 5.04%
Not 2.1%
I did the math my self.
It's not very hard to do, either.

Rocks, you're wrong. You're wrong. You're wrooooooonnnnnng!
No matter how many times you try to pretend the polls got it right, they got it wrong. Horribly wrong, in some cases.

Can someone step in and help Rocky understand? Someone else besides me needs to explain this to him.
He is very confused about the numbers. He doesn't understand how Hillary lost the election and the pollsters got their polling figures wrong.
Rockydonovang
Actually I was wrong, the polls weren't off by 2%, they were barely off by 1%
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/general_election_trump_vs_clinton-5491.html
I trust that you're capable of reading Double D?
realclearpolitics most recent poll averaging explicitly says that
A. Clinton was polled at 3.2%
B. The final election results had clinton getting 2.1% of the vote:
3.2-2.1 = 1.1%
The polling average not off by 5%, it was off by barely 1 %
She lost because polls were specifically off on battleground states, not because the national polls were off by a significant margin. Indeed, Hillarly had more votes nationally. As we were talking about national polls, that Hillarly lost electorally isn't relevant.
I have no idea why you're trying to do your own stats when I've repeatedly linked you to realclearpolitics polling data, data you yourself have linked as a source.

You're wrong. Polling average was off by 3% with a variance of 2-5%, like I stated.
And the polls reflected an average of 5.04% Hillary victory. When the credible scientific polling houses were reviewed, the "big 11", they were off by 3.3%, as linked. Why is this important? Because CNN's poll is not scientific so them being off by 21% is correctly not part of the standard 11 national polls.
Try some more. Try to find other ways to be right. You're still wrong.
Account for places like CNN that had Hillary at +24 points.
I've done the math. The data has been aggregated. No matter how you try to shift the conversation, the average showed Hillary at +5.04%. I've done the average. I've done the variance. My numbers are right. Anything you come up with that contradicts me will be wrong. This is not me being arrogant. If you find a source that says anything that contradicts me, they will be wrong. Why? Because I've done the math myself and I showed my work.
The original statement I made, which had your jimmies super rustled was that I said the polls were off 2-5%. Deal with it.
Any polls that were off by greater than their margin of error majorly f*cked up. Very few got it right.

Then why does the source I linked, whose polls you are using, say the average was 3%?(which is 1% higher than 2%)?
"Deal with it" isn't a sufficient response here.

You're asking the wrong question.
You should be asking, "What does their incorrect number represent when I can clearly see the math you did is sound and correct?"
Because my math is visible for you to see. It is not hidden. I did not fudge numbers. It is quite clear that the average shows Hillary at 5.04%, not what you're linking.
The numbers don't lie. You've been wrong this entire time. You always have been. I've now done the math for you to demonstrate this. If I was trying to hide something, I most certainly would not explain it and show my work like I've done.
You should be asking them why their numbers clearly do not reflect a correct analysis.
