How long before Trump is impeached by the House & convicted by the Senate?

62. As with Nixon, I don't think it will get that far.

This time, I think that if things look too dicey for Trump legally, he will find a way to say "my work is done here," declare victory over the forces of evil, and leave the country in the "capable" hands of Mike Pence, the president the Republicans wanted all along anyway. Of course, that will be sort of like Spain being in the "capable" hands of Tomás de Torquemada, or Wallachia being in the "capable" hands of Vlad Ţepeş, but that will be more to their liking than a party leader who might just do enough stupid, embarrassing things to let the Democrats slip back into the majority in both Houses of Congress. We'll need a lot of luck and either Howard Dean or someone with at least as much imagination and drive as Howard as our party chair to put us there, but another two years of the Trump we have seen so far might do the trick.
