I cast the first vote, for re-election.

Look, Trump made the media king-makers mad. It's the first time in a hundred and fifty years they didn't get their man in the White House. Starting with Lincoln, who was supposed to just let the south secede peacefully. They got pretty mad about that, but Lincoln muzzled the Press. He had hundreds of thousands of "Copperheads" ready to do him in from Northern states because the public support for the war could hardly be sustained even with all the patriotic speeches like the Gettysburg Address.

Trump defied the media during the campaign, more or less getting free publicity about every day, on the proven theory that it doesn't matter what the Press says so long as they spell the name right. He also saw that the media was about as believed as Hillary.... I mean, practically nobody believed either.

I don't expect "The Resistance" to quit, ever. I expect the American public will become so bored/annoyed/disgusted that they will vote him in again to make the point. This is their country, not the media's.
 
Now is it just that the formal proceedings have to begin against him or do they have to be successful? I still reckon he's fairly likely to be impeached.
 
I think something comes out and Trump isn't impeached, he simply leaves office.
 
 
Right now I think there's about a 40% chance that he gets impeached and removed from office, so I voted for the "NO!, he will sit out his first term" option.

I'd guess there's probably about a 60% chance that he gets impeached by the House but not convicted by the Senate--like Bill Clinton. That's mainly because the House vote requires a simply majority, the Senate vote requires a 2/3 majority.
 
P.S. If Trump gets impeached it almost certainly won't be until after Mueller's investigation concludes, and it's very hard to predict that time frame. Maybe it'll conclude about a year from now?

Could go on for years, like it did with Iran-Contra. Has Oliver North got a decent alibi this time?
