Republicans deserve to have him as an anchor on their electoral prospects for the next three and a half years, but only if we're sure the damage won't be too great to overcome in 2021 (or sooner if Dems can take back Congress, or at least the House, next year).

I posted something like this last week and got blasted by people who believe we need to get rid of him ASAP for the sake of the country. It's a valid point. That said, can anyone honestly see House Republicans having to play the role of impeachment manager in the Senate? To see someone like Bob Goodlatte or Jim Sensenbrenner serving in the role of lead "prosecuted"? And even if it gets that far, 2/3 is an awfully high threshold in this day and age.
