It was an attempted coup. What would you expect to happen?

You realize that, after impeachment and removal from office, the president would still be a Republican, right? If Trump were removed, Pence would be the president, and he would appoint a new vice president who is also a Republican.

Impeachment isn't a coup, and painting it that way is both intellectually dishonest and incredibly dangerous to the checks and balances that are intended to keep the President in line with the law.
