Your fears are way overblown. Trump is in great shape politically, and the DNC is in tatters. There is no chance of impeachment or removal.

I can understand why you would think the noose is tightening around Trump’s neck. The witch hunt is very real - Trump has a lot of enemies who are desperate to bring him down. The MSM has abandoned all pretenses of honesty or objectivity, so there is non-stop reporting of Trump’s impending demise.

Fortunately, it’s fake news - either wishful thinking or cynical smears intended to demoralize or fracture his support.

What we have to do is ignore the noise (whistle past the graveyard) - Trump has this. He has a way of setting up win win situations. It looks so bad sometimes the way the fake news gets away with running these smear campaigns, but he comes out smelling like roses. I thought it was over a couple times but I was wrong.

Many of the Dems, MSM and Rinos are fooled by their own games - they actually think they are on the verge of getting rid of him. Soon they will realize he’s here to stay and the Rinos will try to get back in his good graces. Some of the Democrats will even become more reasonable when that happens. Even some of the MSM will realize they have damaged themselves by selling out to the DNC and mend fences like they did when Reagan got reelected by a historic landslide.

The only thing I worry about is some left wing kook getting too close to him - that would be a heartbreaker because there is nobody else who can do what Trump is doing.

Actually, Trump's impeachment is highly likely, not because of his weakness, but rather because of his strength. You completely misinterpreted. The left has a great number of strengths, but their weaknesses are the reason that they simply have no choice but to impeach Trump.

While the left controls virtually every institution in this country, outside of religious institutions, they are very unpopular. They are getting decimated at the state level. The electoral college, which once favored them, is now making it very difficult for them to win the presidency (outside of a McCain/Romney type of opponent). And they are facing a certain brutal defeat in the mid-terms, especially in the Senate. Finally, they are rapidly becoming a geographically localized party.

The left has an even greater problem than all of that. They have nothing binding them together other than their contempt of predominantly white, middle America. Hipsters, yuppies, liberal elite, welfare queens, gays, first generation immigrants -- these people not only have nothing in common, they actually don't really like each other very much. If the midterms go as expected and, then, Trump wins reelection, the left will fall apart. The clown car will be no more. And for that reason, they *must* impeach Trump.

The left has too much invested to simply give up, and too much to lose. Their only recourse is to impeach. They see the same numbers we do. Trump is not getting hurt by all of this (at least, not enough to put his reelection in grave danger). Voters are abandoning the Democrats (outside of places like Calif., where new votes don't really matter much). The upper midwest is probably gone to them, and without it, they have no chance at defeating him in 2020. The result of 2 terms of Trump will almost certainly be the dismantlement of all of the gravy trains, and all of the willful blindness on the part of the Feds, that the left is reliant upon.

And it is for these reasons that they will impeach, and remove (with Republican complicity), consequences be damned.

Their choice: see it all disappear, or impeach Trump. And since much of the Republican party at the federal level is actually *part* of the left, they have the votes to jam through impeachment, and Trump simply has no constitutional recourse.

Your optimism is nice. But you don't seem to realize that a) he makes mistakes, and is not some kind of political genius and b) the other side, for all of their weaknesses, have quite a few strengths, as well, and, this is the most important part -- they are fighting for survival, and are completely committed to keeping what they have.
