The process needs to start within six months, and he needs to be gone within a year, or our democracy (or Republic, if you insist) will be permanently crippled.

In 8 years, unfortunately.

Who will impeach him?  The Republicans love the stuff he's doing and fully support him.  Maybe in 2019 if the Democrats win back the House and the Senate.  Can't wait to see President Pelosi.

After he commits a high crime or misdemeanor while in office. And no, having different political views than Obama is not a crime.

Sooner than you think. Don't underestimate the hatred of the Bannon/Breitbart types among the Hill GOP and their love of Pence

How about accepting money from all his political conflict of interests? Maybe one will go too far?

When signing a whole slew of EOs becomes unconstitutional and when being an asshole on the Twatter becomes unconstitutional.

As soon as his tax returns are leaked. I'm relatively sure that there's something in it that would make it happen and we end up with President Pence.

That's not exactly what the OP said, but I'm sure you know that. Trump threatening to send the federal authorities into a city to take over and claiming that there was a massive election fraud is exactly the sort of slippery slope that could lead him to real trouble. This isn't about political views, it's about someone who is unstable enough to actually get himself into real legal trouble. Trump is not normal.

This is what happens when you surround yourself with group-think media. It creates the illusion among the group that they represent the people and their interests. They don't. It creates the illusion that their opinions are the mainstream opinions. They are not. It creates the illusion that their outrage is shared by everyone. It is not.

I can assure you, the things he is doing now - facilitating the pipeline, re-negotiating NAFTA, extreme vetting of immigrants, taking steps to finally secure our border - are wholly popular with the general public.

In fact, the president met with 7 of the top union members, and all of them expressed gratitude and enthusiasm for what Trump is doing. The Keystone signing pushed the DOW over 20,000 today.

You think what he is doing is 'outrages' and 'horrible' and every other bad thing because the media that you listen to has told you as such. Everything he has done and will do gets filtered through the 'evil' lens.

Resigning would require Trump to have shame, impeachment would require Congressional Republicans to have some sort of integrity, and defeating him for reelection would require 2020 to be a free and fair election. At this point, our best case scenario is that he steps down when term-limited in 2025, but I'm not confident we can count on even that.

The house is always within reach if a wave election occurs, but I don't see how there is any possible way the dems take back the senate given that disastrous map in 2018.

Trump owns the next four years.

If we are lucky and some minimal constitutional norms survive: 8 years.

Republicans may, privately, think they will get rid of him. He will soon intimidate them into blabbering senility.

Trump is a tumor. He will be removed surgically, or by nuclear radiation. Either way, the prognosis isn't good.

I've seen this coming. Everytime I heard liberals say stuff like "Be on the right side of history"...I kinda have been thinking that their side of history was NOT the right side.

Change is on the way. REAL change. Not some elite globalist utopian vision.

The Republicans obviously adore him, so unfortunately we'll have to deal with Trump for quite a while.

If only there was some way the voters could impeach him.

Waves happen. The last 3 out of 4 midterms were waves and 4 out of 7.

To get a second term he actually has to be elected. He can't sign an executive order just giving himself one. Let's remember that.

If Trump sends troops into Chicago I'm sure some Republicans would express concern, before remembering that Chicago is full of liberals and non-whites that don't matter.

An incumbent unconcerned with legality would need to be overwhelmingly unpopular not to be re-elected.  As long as his popularity does not drop to below 25 or 20%, even if the rest hate him, he will be in office in February 2021.

Remember: US is a flawed democracy now. Hopefully, it will not go further down in ratings before 2020.
