Impeachment
There is just so much to write.
At best (for the Democrats), Trump is impeached and it goes to the Senate, which will never, ever get the votes (66 votes) needed to actually impeach him (although it might embarrass Republicans). Once that is over, Trump is officially above the law and above oversight. For this reason, the House will probably drag this out as long as possible. Because afterwards, the House would never try to impeach him twice (or would they), especially if he is re-elected. Knowing that impeachment isn't a threat. Trump could do whatever he wants and with another four years, he would continue to stack the courts with those loyal to him. There goes the separation of powers, that quickly. Luckily the limits of two terms for the President is a constitutional amendment and not just a law.
Here is another fun thought, what is Trump wins re-election, evidence of a crime surfaces, and Nancy Pelosi impeaches again (of course, Pelosi should retire if Trump wins again). What if Trump has her arrested on treason (he will make up a case, as well as accuse her of trying to overthrow a twice elected President for the 3rd time). What happens? Protests (which are met with force or just ignored)? Democrats shutting down Congress (that just makes Trump happier as he can rule through Executive Decrees). This isn't impossible. Who would stop Trump? If the Republicans remain loyal, there is nothing is the law that could be done (besides, Trump could ignore the law). Literally, the only way would be a military coup.
On a completely different note: the Democratic primary debates were last night. I watched about half, but I never heard this question "What are you doing to reach out to moderate Republicans who are fearful of large government programs, distrust lifelong politicians, and base their identity on religion and patriotism.?" Without these votes, Trump can win again, so maybe they are important.
