That means a minimum of 20 Republicans have to vote against Trump for the impeachment to hold.
Otherwise it fails and Trump continues on his merry way, free to dismantle our nation.
The only hope for success is if Mueller's report presents extremely concrete and damning evidence.
Even in that case it's highly unlikely that enough Republicans will turn but at least I'm sure history would be on our side.

(22,050 posts)In addition to Robert Mueller's investigations, I'd add that the Congressional investigations will also reveal the deep corruption and criminality of Trump's White House and personal businesses.
When all is exposed, then we can revisit the political act of impeachment. With a mountain of solid evidence, Trump might be taken down.
Until then, keep your powder dry and stay vigilant.

Remember, when he loses...the investigations do not stop.

(6,377 posts)As satisfying as it would be to see Trump removed from office after impeachment/conviction...it'll be even more sweet to beat him at the ballot box.

(9,535 posts)too many in the Senate are willing to ignore a president beholden to Russia and the Republican leader of the Senate took over a million dollars in Russian money, too. Their loyalty is not to Americans.
(That would have far stronger than saying Trump isn't worth the effort to impeach. Getting him out is worth all the effort in the world. The problem is that it won't succeed unless traitorous Republicans change their ways.)
