All of those previous impeachments and impeachment attempts had a Congress on the opposite side of the aisle from them, unlike Trump. That's my reasoning for that particular pithy statement.

And Johnson's impeachment was BS imo. It was essentially entrapment.

That's my point. I think Congress on his side are going to start slinking away from the guy as the stench gets worse and worse.

Hell, even before all of this he hasn't been able to get anything done through Congress. And Neil Gorsuch doesn't count. A chipmunk could have been the GOP president and Gorsuch would have been confirmed.

I understand what you mean, but pushing through an impeachment on shaky legal grounds is going to be just as or even more politically unsound as standing by Trump.

It's been less than a year. We're in a drip drip drip process. Sooner or later the puddle is going to get pretty damn big. And it's raining right now.

When asked about the mood of GOP folks on Capital Hill this morning the two words used were "errosion" and "corrosion" of support for the President.
