Assume Donald Trump gets acquitted by the senate in the next few months and somehow still manages to win reelection in the Electoral College. What are chances that he will hold the distinction of being the only US President to have been subject of impeachment twice? I'd say the chances are high, because if he manages to get away with all this nonsense (acquittal and reelection), he'll feel emboldened to do even more incredibly stupid things. He will just go complete nuts, and congress will have no choice but to launch another impeachment process.

Random note: I think the Democrats will either keep the House or regain it in 2022 if Trump gets another term.

Very high chance. You have to realize the phone call with Ukraine's President that prompted this investigation happened one day after the Robert Mueller’s congressional testimony. Trump can not help himself he's corrupt to the core.

There’s a good chance he will be under impeachment or threat of it for the remainder of this term and the next, if he is re-elected, for the crime of holding the office of the Presidency as a Republican.

I might disagree with this user's politics, but they do have a point. I'm fairly convinced that, from here on out, every President will be impeached when the House is controlled by the opposite party.

I wouldn’t be surprised if republicans eventually do it next time they control the House under a dem president.

I am inclined to agree -it doesn't really matter how well justified and documented your case for impeaching Trump is (and how many Republicans would privately go along with impeaching Trump if their voters would only let them).  We are dealing with a cult.  Republican voters don't give a damn about facts and evidence.  All they see is a Democratic-led House impeaching one of their own in the White House.  So they will demand their congressmen return the favor no matter what.

 This is complete nonsense that normalizes Trump. Trump deserves his impeachment because of his corrupt acts. People keep making fake fairness arguments about norms of government and not pursuing Trump's corruption because of the precedent it will set. Meanwhile Trump is making a mockery of our standards and norms, violating the emoluments clause, investigating his political rivals, investigating his investigators, and ruining the careers of anybody in government who dares to do their job.

 We need to stop giving Trump so many passes and treating him like a normal President, he isn't that.

You're right. This country is facing its greatest threat ever: The #NeverTrump cult.

No. If Republicans in the Senate and House are unwilling to remove him for committing clear criminal acts, they would be complacent in allowing him to hammer away at the checks and balances that hold our country together, allowing him to scrap the impeachment process altogether and consolidate enormous political power.

Nope. You’re in a cult.

The mountain of evidence against the President grows taller every day. Legal scholars and non Americans agree: the President committed numerous crimes. The fact that you refuse to listen to anyone other than the President resembles cult members only believing what their cult leader tells them, despite the outside world telling them they’re wrong. To deny the president committed any crimes at this point is to deny the outside world. Your loyalty to the President goes against everything the Republican Party is supposed to stand for: rule of law, the constitution, dignity, respect, and so on. There’s a reason Republican presidents from the past frown upon Trump.

This. However, I will note that because he is Trump and so corrupt to the core, there will be more impeachment worthy stuff coming to the fore.

Nope. It would have to be something undeniably bad with strong bipartisan support. Otherwise, no, the Dems are currently playing, and betting, their last cards.

Chances for a Trump reelection is so small. That's why it's good for him to move his residence to FL in a no income tax state, he's gonna need it when he loses next year, especially,  since Biden, not Warren will be the nominee

Trump could drag a pregnant CIA analyst into the Oval Office, tie her to the desk, perform a caesarean section with a steak knife, and hand the mutilated fetus to Vladimir Putin, and Republicans wouldn't see any cause for concern. When one side of the political aisle has gone full-blown 47-chromosome-fascist, "bipartisanship" is a ludicrous farce.

I think our last card would be rejecting the authority of a lawless, traitorous, racist sexual predator, and abandoning any hope of reconciliation with the depraved maggots who put him in office. I would rather partition the country than risk the wrath of an emboldened maggot minority.

You bet on it, there will be more crimes and another impeachment. Mr. Trump is unhinged and if reelected, he'll be emboldened and go complete nuts. The day after Mueller probe, he made the Ukraine call. We most likely don't even have to wait before his current term expires, just wait until the senate acquits him. He will spin this as "massive victory for the MAGA movement" etc. I predict he will go absolute nuts in the weeks and months leading up to the 2020 election, especially if he's trailing in polls.

No, because the Democrats will be devastated mentally by the loss.

The guy is the Golden Goose, and losing to him twice would strike at the credibility of the Liberal side of politics in the context of modern USA.

So if Trump is given a mandate to continue, then one of the primary concerns the Democrats will have is that theor constant negativism is perceived as a total lack of direction for the country.
