MSgt George Cater - I do too. You know they are going to say that 60% of military members on RP think Trump has a 25% chance of being impeached.

Less than 1%. Don't want to say zero, because, hell, who would have thought Trump would be President this time last year...

the Progressives on Both side of the Isle are already working in the back rooms... they didn't have the balls to go after BHO or HRC but they are scared of Trumpster and are going to try to Take Him down before he takes them down...

President Trump is getting results- we all want that. I don't see impeachment.

I really hope the Dems in the House try to impeach Trump. Not only would it not work, it would send a signal from Democrat leadership to all the people that voted for Trump that they (the Democrats) are vindictive pricks and don't respect the people who voted for him in the least.

Start by looking at the source, i.e. the Constitution:
“The president, vice-president, and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
I'm a bit troubled with the notion of the Senate having the conviction authority as it's heavily tainted with politics. I would prefer the interpretation be a Judicial process convicts based on a real law and then the House can impeach based on the court action. "Obstruction of Justice", whatever that means, is the UCMJ Article 134 equivalent. That's why I really didn't like the Bill/Monica theatrical production. Nixon resigned because he accurately read the tealeaves.
Now the likelihood. Politics could come into play if the Republicans get so fed up with Trump, they see an opening to put someone they can work with in (Pence) and Ryan steps into the Number 2 slot. The Dems would gladly play along. So it's a matter of how much Trump pisses everyone off. I know people wanted a "zero" option, but honestly looking at it, Trump has some potential to be his own worst enemy.
