More Republicans are quitting Congress than at any time in the last 44 years, analysis for The Telegraph has revealed, as a backlash against Donald Trump gathers pace. Thirty-seven Republicans in the US House of Representatives are not seeking re-election in 2018.

Fear of being swept away by a “blue wave” of Democratic support is partly driving the exodus, according to experts and Republican insiders. The trend makes it easier for the Democrats to take back control of the House from the Republicans because incumbent candidates are harder to defeat.

Losing the House would have a profound effect on Mr Trump’s ability to pass new laws in the final two years of his first term and opens the door on possible impeachment proceedings.

Winning the House would be a huge problem for the democrat party

1) absent some blockbuster revelation from Mueller, if they proceed with impeachment they would get savaged in 2020. Wiped out
2) if they don’t impeach, their lunatic fringe base as is represented here on JPP will be pissed.

They have a dilemma

PS

Even if they do impeach, there aren’t near enough votes in the Senate to convict. But you can hope. Keep hope alive.

It's always nice to start the day with such good news. You provided a valuable service.
 
I doubt they would impeach. Trump is a dangerous incompetent asshole, but that is not illegal. that is being a Republican. The only way that happens is if Mueller comes out with lots of Trumpy crimes and the Repugs and Dems would impeach him together.
 
Mueller will be handing a mountain of evidence to congress

and it will be before the election

julyish


then these retiring republicans can place country over party before they retire


there will basically be no republican party left after the report comes out
