Obama played the race card. Hillary played the woman card. Americans played the TRUMP card.

Why do you trust the GOP?
Exactly. I think maybe some of these people don't understand just how much the party regulars really hate Trump behind closed doors. Trump is safe as long as the stock market keeps going up, but I think that a sufficient number of Republicans and ALL the Democrats in the US Congress will turn on him quick if they get the opportunity. That's why Russia isn't going away.

To answer the OPers question... not much. Democrats and a bunch of the republicans have been blackmailed for years.
Trump comes in and every pedophile in Washington on both sides of the aisle are afraid for their freedom.
It wouldn't take almost anything for Trump's impeachment to sack him!
Yall need to realize that if they were to take a vote to impeach Trump right now on the grounds that he is having a bad hair day it would be a very close vote.
Better for a congressman to explain why he voted to impeach for nothing than to go to jail for pedophilia.
Probably the ONLY reason this or something similar hasn't happened is because Pence would be the President and that might not help them. Could even hurt their chances of staying out of jail.

And how do you know this? Pretty bold statement if you're not one of these "party regulars". I agree with a lot of what you've said, but saying "as long as the stock market keeps going up" is a pretty empty statement. Obviously he will have support when the market is surging. Give me some of your "party regular" information...

Depends on where this Russia stuff leads. I don't think that itself is enough to get him impeached, but it is already getting to him. If it continues and he goes full retard in response, it might lead to an impeachment attempt.
The other possibility is a foreign policy or military disaster. Either due to wag the dog related to the paragraph above, or just Trump being Trump.
I put the odds at significantly less than 50-50 at this point. The GOP likes being completely in charge too much to throw it all away just yet. But stay tuned. If Trump becomes an albatross, they'll throw him under the bus to save themselves.

Turn on CNN right now:

CNN can go to hell for creating fake drama. The least they can do is wait for real drama.

No. Some Democrats are in districts that voted for Trump. Their re-election is more important than anything.

Trump has a 90% approval rating among conservatives. That number has to go down dramatically for the GOP to act on Trump.

If this Russia thing truly has legs OR if he starts doing stuff like trying to jail reporters to keep it quiet. Some of the things he's saying kind of hint that that's what he's thinking, e.g., they shouldn't be "allowed" to use anonymous sources. WTF does he mean by that?
Or if he does something stupid that gets a lot of people killed or brings us to the brink of a widescale war.
Some, maybe a lot, of his supporters will back him all the way to the end no matter what. But there are still enough reasonable conservatives out there that won't go down with the ship.

The true answer to your question is...
The house would need 26 Republicans to vote for it.
The Senate would need 18 Republican Senators.
That is assuming all Democrats and Independents voted for it.
