Actually, he was impeached for lying under oath (perjury), engaging in witness tampering and obstructing justice.

Clinton was impeached, and made it a point to say that he wasn't leaving under any circumstances. His personal popularity benefited from it as well.

Trump should do the same if he is impeached. Obviously, he won't be convicted by a 2/3rds vote in the Senate (no impeached president has ever been convicted), so he'll continue in office until he no longer wishes to do so, or until the end of his term, whichever comes first. And he'll enjoy a massive boost in his personal approval numbers for the remainder of his stay in the White House.




































Something tells me the OP doesn't really understand the impeachment process very well.

WTF are you talking about?

Please go and look at the Constitution and then explain to us how anything Trump has or may have done is an offense of Treason.

The idiocy is in believing that even if there is something there that it will be a treasonous offense.

It will not.

Trump will not be impeached and certainly will not be removed from office. He most likely will be reelected in 2020 for another 4 years to be your President.

Nothing burger or not, it is still a liberal wet dream, as the (R) controlled House will not impeach him. Even if they did, then the (R) controlled Senate would have to vote to convict him.
So your dream is absurd on it's face.

Granted the (R's) would not circle the wagons like the (D's) would. Unlike the (D's), the (R's) would be more willing to put the interests of the country above the party.
Still, many know they would be inviting their own political demise by doing such a thing.

All this is especially true with reports coming out that a Russian was bribed to implicate Trump in this false narrative of him helping Russia alter the votes.

It reads like a poorly scripted Hollywood movie, yet it seems that the denizens of the swamp will stop at nothing to try and invalidate the 2016 election results.
If that happens, I fear for our republics future.

Now this is a scenario that I can believe in.

If the dems/libs try to run Hillary again or someone like her, they won't win in 2020.

In the Trump supporters dream world this is all because we don't like him. That makes it easy to dismiss.

But the reality is it doesn't matter how likable he is, his campaign (and by extension, Trump himself) is being investigated for possible criminal activity. That is not easy to dismiss, no matter how hard you try.
