Surprised so many responded with a resounding "yes." I could see why some think that. Would need both Democratic leaders and Republicans to get him out before 2020.

Trump paid hush money to porn stars and Playboy models in violation of campaign finance laws, and Republicans don’t care. He’s refused to divest himself of his businesses and is clearly making (YUGE) money from the presidency, and they don’t care. He’s naively blowing up the nation’s alliances and kissing up to adversaries without the vaguest clue about what he’s doing, and they don’t care. He’s ruthlessly attacked the U.S. intelligence community and the Department of Justice, purely for self-serving reasons, and they don’t care. He's racist, xenophobic, not a critical thinker who imagines the impact of decisions. Most importantly, he is suspected of conspiring with a foreign government. And Republicans really don’t care.

All Democrats care. Trump base less than 1/3 of US population now.

Predictive markets says 10/3 odds he's out in 2019. Spiked since he cowed to Putin on camera.

I say no, he won't be re-elected.
