I hear everyday from Democrats that President Trump will be impeached due to various things. What do you think the likelihood is that he will be impeached or that the Democrats will try to have him impeached? Do you think it's a scare tactic, and that the Democrats are hoping he won't be reelected due to the hype? If they try and fail to have him impeached, what's the fallout for the democrats?

Unless the Republicans start the process or a lot of them are on board there will be no impeachment. The Republicans control the House and its agenda.

To the Democrats, this is an attempt to dirty up the President to a point that they can get sufficient Seats in Congress to go forward with the process and set the stage for 2020. All that would occur, if they managed to unseat the President would be Pence would take over and the agenda would continue. If Pence became President, his success would result in his being elected.

It's a fair question. What with the Democrats and their shills in the popular media, news media, and on campuses constantly beating the drum, it's easy to be led to wonder. However, if you simply check the law you will find that the grounds for impeachment of a sitting President are fairly limited and there is no evidence that President Trump has committed any crime rising to the level of an impeachable offense. No, not evidence whatsoever. They love to claim there is but not one bit of evidence has been produced. So, what's going on here? Wishful thinking? Maybe. However, it is an Orwellian concept that a lie repeated frequently enough becomes truth. But only truth to those wanting to believe. Sadly for the Democrats and those on the Left, they have no power to impose their will on Congress (where impeachment occurs) even if the believers rallied together. Thus, they appear as a bunch of children suffering mass hysteria, much like the Salem Witch Trials. Ultimately, they are only hurting themselves. As the believers peel away by virtue of the lack of anything happening, they are diminishing their own ranks and thus, diminishing their chances of returning to power.

CPT Jack Durish The president can be impeached for pretty much any pretense Congress comes up with they can sell politically. The term "high crimes and misdemeanors" leaves them all kinds of latitude and the SCOTUS would be unlikely to interfere in all but the most egregious of politically motivated cases and even then I'd be surprised...

Of course the political fallout of such action is a completely different question. One which the Republican party paid after Clinton's impeachment.
