It looks like Conor Lamb has eked out in a win in a special election in a normally reliable Republican House district in Pennsylvania. Trump, who won the district by about 20 points in 2016, made a deranged (even for him) campaign appearance last week for Republican candidate Rick Saccone but it doesn't seem to have worked.
Special election since 2016 have tended to give Democrats 15-20 points more in these districts than they achieved in that year. If that trend hold in November, they will almost certainly sweep the GOP out of power in the House.
Is this just Trump exhaustion? The normal swing in US politics? Or something else?
Well congrats to the Dims who are one more vote closer to impeaching Trump.
I fully expect the Dims to take full control of both houses of Congress, especially after the GOP ran on repealing and replacing Obamacare and then backed down. Then their wet dream of impeachment can be realized, really their only reason for living.
Can anyone say President Pence? 😵

So if Trump is forced out then the revenge will be doing the same to the next Dim POTUS.
Nothing but impeachment, or worse, will do.
Personally I would like to see Pence in there instead, but at least you have a sense as to the consequences if you have your way.
But assuming the impeachment does not go anywhere, the status quo is now the drum beat of impeachment no matter who the President is.

There are some serious rape allegations surrounding Bill Clinton. Just ask Juanita Broaddrick.
Originally posted by @ashiitakaYes, and don't forget Kennedy and Harding and Thomas Jefferson.

Originally posted by @whodeyI hope that if the evidence of crimes and misconduct by Trump is presented fairly in Mueller's final report, that even many Republicans will wind up supporting impeachment. I do not think a Democratic House will vote Articles of Impeachment absent A) Overwhelming evidence; B) A Mueller finding of Trump being a co-conspirator; and C) A realistic chance of conviction in the Senate.

I have lived under conservative Republican Presidents for about half my life and often cringed at their policies. But I do not support impeachment of a President for mere political reasons and absent the factors mentioned above.
