My very Republican father is now hoping for impeachment.

15. I have to admit that thought has crossed my mind also

Very few Republicans are willing to admit this.
But, it's the logical next step for holding onto the Senate and White House.
Trump is toxic, but they don't see it yet.
I hope they don't ever realize it.
Simply put, from the Democrat standpoint, it would be best to bring up Articles of Impeachment at the end of this year and make the Republican Senate vote on it in 2020.
That's why I don't want it to go too quickly.
It's going to happen, but better a little later.
We all know it won't get through the Senate, but the body of evidence will be overwhelming, and it will be fresh in the minds of the voters in 2020.

I'm not at all concerned with Trump's base. They would vote for him even it he threw babies through a tree shredder on national TV.
I know, that's horrible, but they don't seem to care as long as the babies have been birthed.
It's the moderate Republicans who are walking away now that we want to have either not vote, or vote Democrat.

My best solution is to have a politically neutered president get the Republican 2020 presidential nomination by virtue of his rabid base. That would be less than 40% of the electorate, and that ain't gonna get it done.
