As it stands now, Dems will pick up 3+ Senate seats and 40+ House seats [View all]

If Trump moves to fire Mueller and the GOP congress doesn't move to impeach him for it....

The Dems will pick up 5+ Senate seats and 75+ House seats.

And Trump will be impeached in January of 2019 in that scenario.

Trump is a cornered animal right now.... and even though firing Mueller would result in unrest in the streets and the dismantling of the GOP.... he will be willing to take that chance to keep himself in power as long as possible.
