Most aren't considering it because it's a low chance, but it's a very real possibility.

Hopefully a military response.

There is a 99% chance the dems will impeach Donald Trump. They will get roasted by their base and thrown from office if they don't. LOL! Too far down the road to turn back now.

Then the Senate will blow them up in the trial to remove him and Trump will emerge more popular than ever. This is a side show of raw politics that got out of hand over the radicalism of the average democrat in America today. Dem office holders are in fear of their own people.

You're getting a lot of unfavorable responses OP but if there is one thing I have learned over the years is to never say never. I seriously doubt the senate would vote to remove Trump because it would definitely be the end for them for a long time.

But......... Not very long ago I would have seriously doubted that it would be proposed that men should be able to use the same bathrooms as little girls and almost half the country would think it was a cool idea. But it happened

It's their funerals.

More likely they will vote to censure.

If this goes to the Senate, they lose control over the entire thing. And if they lose control over the whole thing, even with the media in their pocket, the Republicans will eviscerate this thing, all the Dems talking points and then all the Dems.

They can't let this happen. If they vote to censure, it's over.

The Dems know Trump did nothing close to bribery, or anything impeachable for that matter, but they will impeach him anyway.

Their goal is to get their low-information voters to show up and vote against Trump, because these voters are too ignorant to know any better.

The narrative will be, "how can you reelect someone so horrible that he had to be impeached for the crime of corruption he has committed." They will also say the Republican Senate let him get away with it.

All the Dems are trying to do here is METTLE IN THE 2020 ELECTION. They are doing exactly what they are falsely accusing Trump of doing!

but what about the election next year? Does the GOP have another strong candidate that can take down Biden or Warren?

That is up to Pelosi. IMO, impeachment would be the biggest political blunder in US history, if Dems were dumb enough to go that route.

OTOH, it sounds like you are asking about removal from office by the Senate.
There is no chance of that occurring.

If for no other reason, raw politics would prevent it even if Trump was guilty as hell . . . which is not remotely the case. We are seven months from party conventions. There is no time at this point to construct a POTUS campaign from scratch. Pence would be given the GOP nomination by default.

Several GOP Senators have Presidential ambitions and would not willingly cede those ambitions to Mike Pence.

The GOP will have to accept that Presidents shouldn't be allowed to conduct themselves in a corrupt way and will likely not defend it next time. It's not difficult.
