Can we get enough votes to Remove Trump in 2018?
First we have to win big in 2018. The GOP must see a bigger threat from the general public then from their base. For the Senate that means.

1. We have to hold all our seats. This is a huge deal as we are defending seats in deep red states.

2. We have to win both AZ and NV. Again, this is a huge tasks, but that gives us 51 votes.

3. We need to pick up McCain’s seat when he resigns or passes away. While I hope McCain the best, the reality is his type of cancer is very hard to treat. That would bring us up to 52 votes.

4. We need to win in TN and TX. In both cases we have very good canidates. In TN, that seat is empty. In TX, we face Ted Cruz. In a huge wave, they are both doable. That gives us 54 seats.

5. With a wave that big, the house goes big too. So actual impeachment won’t be a problem.

Even in this landslide, we need 13 GOP votes to remove Trump. This sort of landslide will scare the shit out of the Republicans, but I don’t know if it will be enough. The 13 most moderate Republicans there in this situation are:

Sen. Thom Tillis
Sen. Joni Ernst
Sen. Rand Paul
Sen. Patrick “Pat” Toomey
Sen. Charles “Chuck” Grassley
Sen. Shelley Capito
Sen. Richard Burr
Sen. Thad Cochran
Sen. Dan Sullivan
Sen. Richard Shelby
Sen. Lamar Alexander
Sen. Lindsey Graham
Sen. Robert “Rob” Portman

Though I don’t think that tells the whole story. I think Sen Sasse, Rubio, etc are possiable gets. That said, this is very hard.

With all of that, is removal from office actually possiable or is this a pipe dream?

No. It will not happen. Yes, it is a dream  :-)

Someone should tell him you need grounds.

"I think Trump is a poopy-head" is NOT legal grounds for impeachment.

Mad Maxine let drop the fact that at least some Congressional Ds believe "high crimes and misdemeanors" can mean whatever they want it to mean. As for DU folks' bong-dreaming ...

Unfortunately Mad Maxine is correct.  There is no legal definition as to what "high Crimes and Misdemeanors" actually constitutes. Now, stating that the president has committed high crimes and misdemeanors because he's just a poopy head, now that backlash against those insane D's will send my schadenboner past the Triangulum galaxy.

There could be such a definition, in infinitesimal detail, and Trump-Haters would ignore it. That there would be ballot-box consequences for that kind of tyrannous action would probably deter a good number of Ds, so even with a 5 or 10 (or 20?) seat majority I don't think many Ds would vote to impeach Trump on frivolous grounds.

Never underestimate the dems propensity to stick together and vote for something that will cause them to lose their majority in the next election.
