Impeachment trial: Trump win shows anything can happen, even Senate conviction and removal

Support for removal rose and Senate Republicans saw an election rushing toward them under a black cloud. That was Nixon, but it could also be Trump.

There is a lot of talk about how there's no chance of impeached President Donald Trump getting removed. Im here to tell you that there is absolutely, without a doubt, a chance this Senate could remove Trump from office. But it all starts with believing it can actually happen.
Many Americans prefer settling before going to trial in a complicated legal matter, and thats because anything can happen in court. Thats why Trump likes to settle, whether it's the $2 million penalty for his charitable frauds or $25 million for his fake university.
If we dont realize there is a real chance that he could be removed, we will not have the energy to get there. We all need to know and truly believe that if enough Americans speak out, he will be removed.
People also said impeachment was impossible. Before that, they said we will never get a special prosecutor to investigate Trumps Russian ties while under full GOP control. We will never win in Alabama, Kentucky or Virginia. We will never win back the House. All things Democrats succeeded at. Today, people talk about the 2016 election results as if 2018 didnt send a crystal clear signal across the country, one still motivating a massive resistance that is ready to march to the polls in 2020.
