The Democrats have just gotten started and the numbers for impeachment have gone up quickly. That is a good sign. It those numbers rise up to around 60% for impeachment, that would be really bad news for Trump and the Republicans.

(11,949 posts)His base is still firm and will remain so. And that is his power.
Lots of republicans could support an impeachment and survive a general election.
But will be toast in a primary.
Republican primary voters are almost all racist or evangelical nuts. Often both.
Trump and his crazy base holds the entire GOP by the balls. And the are not letting go of their hold.
Only 2020 is removing him and it will be too close for comfort.

(10,721 posts)60% might be the ceiling. But even at that number a conviction is highly unlikely. Republicans know Cult 45 would be pissed.
We need audio of Trump in clear quid pro quo with Putin, begging Lord Vladimir to not release salacious video in exchange for doing anything Vlady-poo wants. But that still probably wouldn't flip 20 Republican Senators.
