22. I Don't Think There Will Be An Impeachment

What I think will happen is DJT will be roundly defeated in the election, and he'll go apeshit. When that happens, the Senate will have nothing to lose, and they'll support removal under the 25th Amendment. I think McConnell, Graham, Collins and maybe McSally will lose (at least I hope most of them do), and they'll have nothing to lose by turning on Trump, whom they'll blame for their electoral losses. Vengeance will be sweet....of course, I could be wrong.
