Even odds discussed here but this is not exactly current. I think the last couple of days have had an impact on the odds: http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2017/04/20/trump-odds-impeachment_n_16133668.html



“Ladbrokes didn’t even offer odds on Obama being impeached or resigning, which speaks volumes about the current President.”

1. zero chance, democrats have ZERO power in congress

no power, no impeachment

2. Not completely true

If team trump does something so hideous that the repugs start to fear allying with him will destroy their chances of re-election, they'll impeach him faster than it took me to type this.

3. If there is strong evidence he broke the law and the public starts calling for his head

Republicans will run like hell. They are probably putting a lot on indictments starting to come down the pike. Republican's absolutely won't want his chaos to cause them to lose both houses. It might actually be better if this lasts into next year for us.

4. The Republicans will get frightened as the mid-terms approach

Remember, it wasn't the Democrats that forced President Nixon from office. The Republicans stood by him through much of the Watergate scandal. But as the 1974 elections loomed, they realized their own vulnerabilities and Nixon was gone.

Hopefully, history will repeat itself.
