Let's say hypothetically Trump is impeached. I know most people believe the entire thing is a nothing burger and Trump impeachment is simply a liberal fantasy. Let's say for a moment that Mueller found something and that Trump was impeached. Would you support him if he refused to leave office at that point? Or, for the sake of the rule or law, would you accept the impeachment?

Though why would he leave if "just" impeached, until senators also voted to remove him from office? If they vote yes, he'd have to leave, no?? That's how I thought the system worked.

If, after an impeachment, the Senate determines that he should be removed from office, then I volunteer to go help move him out.

he has a better chance of being anointed "king" than being impeached.

yep. in that improbable scenario secret service would launch him out the door like a night club bouncer.

my guess, if we get near that point, is that trump would step down then deny, deflect and whine.

That douche bag Bill Clinton was impeached and he didn't beat down the door trying to leave office. He was the only President to be impeached for leaving a semen stain on an interns dress. Bunch of hypocrical liberal dumbocrats.

you have not been following have you Skeddy? Any POTUS who obstructs justice becomes likely to be impeached, and while you might not like it, i am betting the democrats did not like Ken going after Clinton over a sex scandal when that investigation was supposed to be about money...

Trump has so many dirty dealings the GOP may have little choice but assist with impeachment, otherwise they allow the dems to do the same for the next 200 years...

You do know that "impeached" just means charged?
The Senate then votes to convict or not.
If they vote guilty then the President has no more power, power then rests with his successor.
