And I simply asked "impeachment for WHAT?"
If there was a valid reason, say, turning the white house into a sex scandal etc, then I would agree. However, I see no valid reason. I see no convictions.
So, if there was a valid conviction, sure okay, otherwise, I see no reason for impeachment. Maybe the OP'er knew something I didn't? However, it seems the OP'er doesn't know since he just throws out cases that have already been concluded and nothing on Donald.

Although the words of Trump supporters nick away at my belief in the American people every day, I still believe there are enough voters who care enough about honesty, integrity and the common good to turn out in force and make sure that that he will never be elected. They were complacent in 2016 because, like me, they could hardly believe that anyone would vote for Trump. They started coming out in force in 2018.
The new sexual abuse allegations against Kavanagh will certainly turn suburban women against voting for Trump.
I look forward to 2020 as more and more people realize our democracy is worth voting for, worth volunteering for, worth fighting for...

Am I? Then why dont you enlighten me. Mark couldnt give me one reason. All he did was drudge up the same accusations that have already been flat lined.
And yes, convicted. Convicted comes after accusation. It is when you are found guilty of the accusation brought against you, thus convicted. It is from that conviction, that one would be impeached.
You dont impeach on accusations. You impeach off of convictions. Do you seriously not know this?

The Democrats are likely to win the popular vote again, increasing their vote in the states on both coasts. That is not enough to win a presidential election.

Again?
As it's been pointed out many times in the past, there was no conclusions by Mueller that any particular thing was done to warrant impeachment.
It's time to put the Mueller report to rest.

He obviously had nothing clear-cut that anyone could point to and use as a tool to impeach Trump, even after the big investigation followed by an interview with Mueller himself to have him explain his own report to Congress. Otherwise, there would be more support for His impeachment. As it is, it's still an uphill battle, even among members of the opposing political party.

As Ken Starr aptly pointed out, Mueller had authority to decide whether or not prosecution of the president should proceed.
Mueller decided against prosecution on the matter of collusion.
Mueller left determination on obstruction to William Barr, who then decided against prosecution.

Incorrect.
Democrats will not impeach because they have no evidence with which to convince the American voters. Without voter support, Democrats will be voted out in the next election, which they well may be anyway.

Don't forget that there are members of the House who are not democrats. Therefore, even though more than half of democrats have been convinced to be in favor of it, those who are not democrats tip the scale back in the direction of being against it.

The choice would be 4 years of Trump or 4 years of Pence.
The choice depends on whether the senator is part of the Republican Party before the summer of 2016, or a member of the Trump Republican Party.
Members of the establishment Republican Party from before Trump have 2 options.
1) If they were to vote to keep Trump in power in February of 2020, then the Republican Party would be a virtually new party by the time of the primaries for the 2024 election, compared to 2016. They would need to consider a third party or give up on their positions and goals that have served the party at least since 1980, foreign policy and military issues since WWII. Many will certainly decide to stay with Trump's new party.
Depending on what the Democrats do, there may be a strong opportunity for a viable centrist third party.
2) Should enough establishment Republicans (perhaps 1/2 of the Senators) decide to oust Trump, they would choosing to follow Pence and try to move the party to the traditional views of Republicanism. For example, I would think Cruz would prefer to run in 2024 after four years of Pence, rather than after 4 years of Trump; ditto for Scott or Rubio. Others would prefer to run for the Senate with Pence on the top of the ticket, instead of Trump or the Trumpian nominated in 2024.
