"However I fear that if they were going to get rid of him they would have done so by now. So, unfortunately, we're stuck with both Trump in the White House and Scottish Guy here."

Arsenal, while I loathe Trump with every fiber of my being ( I lived in New Jersey where his Casinos went bust and worked in NYC where he has zero support ) I must say it is not this simple. We don't have a parliamentary system. With Republicans in control of the House of Representatives, there is no ability to vote a charge of impeachment. Even if the house changes in the mid-term elections there is a question of whether the Senate will flip ( house brings charge but Senate is the court ) it's very unlikely that the new majority will be strong enough to have the 67 ( out of 100 ) votes necessary to convict.

Nixon was driven from office when his own party told him to resign. The Republican party of today demonstrates the utter polarization of modern American society. We are in the throes of the last stages of the culture wars. Trump was put in office by people of the "flyover states" the ones we fly over because there is little reason to land. A cultural "joke" that is, sadly, often accurate.

If it were a matter of simple majorities he would never have been in office. I hope, each and every day, that the Muller report will have such devastating proof that the Republicans come to fear the majority of the electorate rather than the narrow base they cater to. Remember, he was put in office by 78,000 votes ina few counties across three states. The Republicans ,during their time in power , were able to draw insanely distorated consituency distrticts that they are now trapped in. You reap what you sow.

Probably, our biggest hope is that if Democrats capture the House of Representatives their new control of the house committees, armed with the power of subpoena, will rip apart the veil of secrecy and support the Muller findings. The flood of scandal and corruption might be overwhelming.
