Clinton was impeached by the House but was not trialed by the Senate. He did not resign after impeachment.

man Congress sure took lying under oath seriously

oh wait didn;t a certain Sessions lied under oath?

Got_Daca ! Let’s start a thread “the final countdown to 2020”

It's not that easy. I won't bet my life on the Blue Wave.

Florida has just had an influx of Puerto Ricans and a sizable population of those to begin with. Guess who completely embezzled the relief funds and a year later the island is still without power? Puerto Ricans are US Citizens and can vote.

ND, WV, and MT are strange in that their senators are popular on their own. Heitcamp is leading by a few points and Manchin will win anyways.

Ohio - wildcard and a swing state, most likely will go blue solely due to the anti-president effect, where the minority party actually gets off their asses and votes.

Missouri - McCaskill is pretty popular and she's being challenged by a complete douchebag republican. She'll squeak through.

Indiana - This one is a huge question mark. You never hear about Donnelly, it basically all depends on the Trump Slump. His challengers aren't known and therefore aren't particularily strong but... it is Indiana.

And now for republican seats:

NV - Heller is toast, dem will take it.
AZ - Hard to gauge, the seat is currently ranked as a tossup. It might flip. We'll have a better view once the damn voting actually starts there.
TX - Judging from how fired up democrat voters are, Cruz has every right to be shitting his pants.
TN - Long shot but considering that a popular former D governor is running for an open seat, it is winnable, moreso than Cruz's seat.
MS Special - This one is an interesting case since special elections in Mississippi are decided by a non-partisan primary followed by a run-off if no one gets above 50%. Technically a democrat could snag the open seat but it'd be a miracle like what happened in AL. Mississippi is also about 40% black, which is a heavy D block.
MS, NE, WY, UT - Basically safe R unless a lot changes.

Another possibility is that McCain kicks the bucket or resigns soon giving us another special election.

The situations are a little different. We don't know the extent of what Trump did (he's acting very guilty), but if he and his campaign did collude with a foreign power to get elected then that's a more serious crime than lying about a sexual affair.

The dude might have switched impeachment and indictment... Senate will not have the 2/3 votes for an indictment unless as you said, collusion charge was filed (Although even with it, some republicans won't give a poop)

Clinton had the affair during the white house presidency. Trump had the affair prior to becoming a president right?

The two things are very different though

Trump also worked with a foreign government and probably still does. The longer you look at the probe the more colorful it looks, Russians, Chinese, Saudis, Emiratis, dead spies, and the founder of Blackwater who's the brother of Betsy Devos (Trump's Sec of Education).

Multiple campaign members have taken plea deals, his son in law is under investigation. 10 bucks says that Sessions is under a heavy investigation himself. Trump? You can be sure his taxes are being read 20 times over because he was definitely laundering money or pulling other shenanigans.



The affair with that porn star is more meant to drive a wedge between him and the "christian" right but who are we kidding, they'll pivot to make cheating okay if Trump does it. It's meant more to depress republican turn out than be a serious ground of impeachment later.
