The only way trump is going to be impeached is if Democrats take back the House, and the only chance [View all]

we have for a conviction is if we have the majority in the Senate.

While the Senate requires a 2/3 majority to convict, the psychological aspects of a Democratic win in both the House and Senate will have republicans re-evaluating their support of trump, and would raise the odds of a conviction if trump is impeached.

Unless we regain the majority in Congress, trump is not going to be impeached, and the odds that another Gorsuch appointment is greatly increased.

While 2016 was the election that really mattered, the only way the draconian path the country is taking can be stopped is if Democrats win at least one of the Houses in 2018
