Would impeachment require some sort of cross party cooperation?

If so, no.

If not, possibly.
 
Define "in the near term". I see an opening after the midterm elections as a possibility, is that in the near term or not?

Short of special prosecutor uncovering major evidence of Trump-Putin collusion, I don't see GOP impeaching him. This is not likely to happen before the elections. If it happens by the end of this year all bets are off though.

Exactly the stuff Nixon pulled is now Republican SOP.

So really it is up to Fox News.

Fox has a 100% monopoly on the pro-Trump audience. Why in the world would they give up that edge?
No other media outlet can deliver this target audience to their advertisers.

No, Fox will stick with Trump probably even past an impeachment and even incarceration.

I agree with this, with the exception that Trump has no balls.

(Metaphorically, of course.)

Trump's narcissism won't let him get into a position where he loses, so he'll do what he always does in these situations and declare a strategic bankruptcy with a premise of a rigged system and forces conspiring against him.

On the other hand, and here I hope I'm wrong, this Republican-run House will never impeach a Republican President. This isn't the 70s. Integrity is a thing of the past. Party before county.
 
I think Trump wants to be impeached.

This whole presidenting thing is getting in the way of his cable news consumption and golfing schedule. If he can get himself impeached, he can say that the establishment politicians were so scared of them, they had to conspire to expel him from the White House. He can claim that if only people had listened, he would have #MAGA, and the pansy Washington beltway conspired to fix the game against him.
 
I voted yes, but it is dependent on a few things.

1) The Comey memos are real and at least as explosive as they have been claimed to be if not more so.

2) The GOP growing a Backbone and deciding that they can live with President Pence.

As to the what for, I suspect that should 1) be confirmed, it'd going to be for obstruction of Justice.
 
Yes, he is an arrogant and not bright dodgy bussinessman with no knowledge or care for government ethics. He is openly on shakey ground with his behaviour towards Comey, which has been triggered by investigations into dealings with Russians, both political interference and possible money laundering.

No, she hasn't been elected to anything since and not for lack of trying. She only survived it in the sense that there was never any legitimate reason to "LOCK HER UP".

If the various investigations finds that Trump either obstructed justice (and it's hard to see how they couldn't, given his tweets) or colluded with Russia, that will be a distinct difference between Trump's and Clinton's situations.
 
Once Comey presents his memos then it would be all over for Trump. It was most bizarre that people believed a pathological liar could make America great.

Perhaps Trump will resign before impeachment and blame the Democrats.
 
The combination of intentional gerrymandering and coincidental "gerrymandering" due to the modern tendency of demographic groups to self-segregate makes it unlikely that the Republicans will lose their majority in the House in 2018. And I don't see a political party impeaching a president from their party unless he doesn't something that is so blatantly bad that the country overwhelmingly supports removal of the president.

But in this new age you expect that from a president just like you expect an attorney general to commit perjury.
