#1 I have always said that they will not impeach, but they will give a couple hundred censures on him and drag each one out for the next year as fodder on CNN.

#2 At this point I'd say it's even money either way, and that will make some reps in red districts nervous. They may not have much leeway for the vote against that does not matter.

#3 There have been too many instances in the last few years of "Surely they wouldn't..." followed by "Welp, they did" for me to buy this.

The Dems will double down until it costs them heavily and persistently; that hasn't happened yet.

#4 In a way, I'm almost hoping they actually do impeach. Although many people feel that when a president is impeached, he is automatically removed from office, the actual trial takes place in the Senate. To remove the President, it takes a 2/3 majority in the Senate. Unless many Republicans vote for removal, it won't happen.
On the other hand, Trump will be able to call witnesses in his defense. On my short list of witnesses would be the leaders in the deep state, the Bidens, Vindman, Schiff, and others. It should almost be fun.

Wait, I thought if TrumpHitler was impeached, Hillary automatically becomes Prez. Note to self: we might have to rethink this.

#8 My personal favorite conspiracy theory. RBG is dead or dying. Impeachment is a desperate ploy to de-legitimize the president before a replacement can be named. Idiots like Romney will go along with it.
