3. They are building up to it but McConnell would likely refuse to even try for impeachment

If Trump attempts to obstruct Congressional oversight you can expect a slow, deliberate impeachment process to be started but they should not actually vote to impeach. The reason I say that is because it is entirely possible that McConnell will flat out refuse to even try for impeachment, and there is nothing that legally prevents him from doing that. That will lead to it looking like Trump isn't guilty. They need to publicly and aggressively investigate the hell out of him.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
