The resident should never have even been permitted to be a candidate if the love of country was a priority over party control and would be out of office if Congress adhered to the checks that are already in place but partisanship is tearing us apart and neither party favors unity over ideology.
Impeachment takes too long.. cost too much and will further the animosity between the major parties. The best (and likely) scenario will be that the trump.. seeing his reputation and name going down the tube.. will resign.. if the Pence promises to pardon him and let him walk. And then.. you will have president Pence.. and will fondly remember the trump. Such a screwed up impossible situation you have gotten yourself into.
Criminally insane Trump holding himself hostage in the White House while he tries to extort 5 billion from the treasury is a good enough laugh for the moment.
A point can definitely be made for NOT impeaching the current “squatter” in the White House. Those calling for Donnie’s “impeachment” have obviously done no serious ‘thinking’ on what a “President Pence” would be like.
Conservative pundit Michael Gerson: As Mueller time approaches, it is likely that President Trump’s defense will consist of two phrases: “But that is not illegal” and “But that is not impeachable.”It is a strategy that prevails by the lowering of standards. Because Trump did not plot election fraud directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin by Skype, and because Trump’s various crimes and misdemeanors do not constitute high crimes and misdemeanors, we should consider the president vindicated. Unable to make the case for his own virtues, Trump must aver that his vices are commonplace and inconsequential.Will this work? If the only standard of success is keeping enough Republican votes in the Senate to avoid Trump’s removal from office, it may.It has been fully demonstrated that the Russian attack on the 2016 election was broad, ambitious and designed to give Trump practical aid. Russian intelligence fed ideological and racial tensions in a sophisticated attempt to arouse enthusiasm in Trump’s base and dampen enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton among minority voters. Did this tilt the election toward Trump? Given that Trump prevailed by 107,000 votes in three states — out of 120 million cast — I think it is both likely and unprovable.Consider this outcome from two other perspectives. If you were the head of Russian intelligence, I suspect you would have a chest full of medals. And if the political circumstances were reversed — if Clinton had received Russian help to become president — every elected Republican would diagnose a conspiracy that undermined her legitimacy. Every. Single. One.

Not everyone; impeachment is a Republican thing.

As I look down the line at those who might secede Mr. Trump, it scares the hell out of me. Pence, Pelosi, Mitch, Oh the inhumanity.

It looked extremely rocky for the Trump White House that year
With Mueller breathing down their necks, the crooks all shook with fear
Their treason, money-laundering, their high crimes (and their low!)
They knew when Mueller got the goods, then off to jail they’d go
But then a ray of sunshine: they’d forgotten Pardon Pence
Whose honesty is none the best, whose brain is rather dense
Though Jerry Ford played Pardoner, noone had done it since
No need to serve a prison term, because of Pardon Pence
He pardoned both the Donalds, also Flynn and Manafort
Ivanka, Jared, Sessions, and all others of that sort
Pence pardoned all that he could find, the traitors and the crooks
(Though, to be fair, Pence met the glare of many dirty looks)
But, sad to say my story ends in ways to make us weep
For Pence, that mighty Pardoner, picked Ryan for his veep!
