What do you think? For Repubs to Dump 45?

What would it take for Republicans to decide to dump Trump via Impeachment?
(Serious question)

Since they are motivated by POWER, it seems to me that they will simply live with his nonsense, unless something significantly threatens their OWN power.

SO — what are REALISTIC threats to Congressional power that would cause them to pull the plug?

Will they take the country to WAR for him? Curious what you think …

For Congress to Reject Trump, there needs to be a split in his Republican support.

Trump has 85+% amongst ALL Republicans. And high 90's for Conservatives, his base.

Congressional Repubs don't care about Dems or even Independents, really....which trend 60-66% anti-Trump.

It's all about the moderate Republicans, the Trump-light voters. Trump-lite voters are Repubs who put him in office, but can be influenced to shift away from him.

Once THAT demo shifts their support away from Trump; and splits from the Conservatives (who are Trump fanatics) then Congress will abandon Trump.

In polls you see a few cracks. Trump-light folks begin to question Trumps honesty and 'stability'.

But Trump's numbers overall are still very strong.
