There are over a dozen legitimate reasons Trump can be impeached, all with strong evidence, and that doesn't even include the crimes committed by cabinet members he appointed who've already been indicted or the 70+ list of appointees who've resigned or been fired and the controversies surrounding each of them
Clinton was impeached for lying to congress about having sex with an intern. Most Americans didn't really care that Clinton had sex with an intern or lied to Congress about it, most people saw it as Republican kabuki theater, which it wasOk Mr. intellectually dishonest. But the midterms that happened shortly after the impeachment was initiated were a disaster for Republicans. Rarely does the party in power gain in the midterms. The typical number of House seats lost in the midterms is 26-30. Democrats gained 4 seats and it is generally understood to be a lashback over the Republican impeachment of Clinton.
Clinton did not win in 2000 because he was not running due to term limitations. If that had not been the case, he likely would have won.
I would say that a lame duck President gaining seats in a midterm election in the middle of an impeachment directly disproves your claim that "Exactly the opposite is true."
Trump is accused of 11 different counts of obstruction, has foreign dignitaries stay at his own personal hotels who overpay and end up with sweet $100 billion weapons deals, appoints his daughter and son in law (who is also under federal investigation) to high positions in government, has fired or lost the most appointee positions in any recent administration that I can think of, has spent more on vacations and golfing in three years than Obama did in 8, separates families and holds immigrants in cages without showers, water, blankets, or beds for weeks at a time (24 people have already died in American custody under Trump)..
The only people who would support Trump are the ~30% that would never leave his side anyway
Exactly the opposite is true. In the only modern historical example we have, impeachment of the president levied by the House, then later acquitted by the Senate, led to the opposition party taking power. Are you trying to against historical fact? Apparently you believe if Pelosi levies impeachment charges against Trump and he is acquitted by the Republican Senate, it'll only benefit him and the Republican party come next election when the historical evidence proves otherwise
