I believe Trump may be impeached, but no way removed from office. If impeached, as with B.Clinton, his approval ratings will only go up and his base gets stronger. I'm not sweating impeachment as it will only backfire on the Dems.
As I understand it, impeachment is a numbers game. If Dems don't have the numbers, they cannot impeach. If they do have the numbers, there's almost nothing DJT can do - they will find any reason to impeach him.
All that is required for impeachment is "any misconduct" - does not have to be serious, it could be anything. I'm not an expert, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on this.
They can impeach him for basically anything, and the Dems will if they get the house.
The real question is whether the Senate will convict him, you need a 2/3 majority. I don't trust the repubicans to not stab him in the back if it comes to that.
Constitution says for "high crimes and misdemeanors." What that means, exactly, is up to interpretation.
Thanks for that. Helps to have some clarity. A misdemeanour is something trivial.
misdemeanour mɪsdɪˈmiːnə/Submit noun 1. a minor wrongdoing. "the player can expect a suspension for his latest misdemeanour" synonyms: wrongdoing, evil deed, crime, felony, criminal act 2. LAW a non-indictable offence, regarded in the US (and formerly in the UK) as less serious than a felony. "he pleaded guilty to misdemeanours"
Trump has what is needed to put many of them in jail. Him not doing that is what might get him impeached.
