“All but certain”? I’d like to think so, but even if the R’s take seven or eight seats to make it 52-48 or something like that, they still would need more than a dozen Dem senators for the 67 needed for impeachment.

That's exactly what I thought. Without some video evidence of Obama in a compromising position with a 12 year-old boy or farm animal, thee's no way the Republicans would get anywhere near enough Dems to impeach.

I suppose if somehow the November election results bring huge losses for the Dems, perhaps they would be willing to get rid of the baggage...odds are unlikely.

Argh.

That is for removal by the Senate.

The HOUSE impeaches.

The Senate removes by 2/3 vote.

Senators do NOT impeach.

They likely will lose to easy seats because of the evil tricks they pulled, Cochran and McConnell.
