Is Impeachment Good for Republicans?

In 2008, Barack Obama became the United States’ first black president. After two terms of service we got our first orange president. Donald Trump, then known for his wealth and celebrity status, received serious attention for being an outsider to politics. When he was elected the country split in two. As an extremely divisive figure, the political dichotomy was stretched to its limit. Each party was frothing at the mouth and the fecal matter was about to contact the air-conditioning device.

Eventually Trump's behavior led to him being impeached. Impeachment is not a guaranteed expulsion from president-hood, but it very possibly could end this billionaire's career in politics. Now before we all start hoping for or against Trump getting booted out of the White House, keep one thing in mind. If Trump goes, Mike Pence becomes President.

Mike Pence is a quintessential conservative. He opposes abortion and supports coal companies, the typical republican views. It's highly likely the Republican Party could benefit more from Trump leaving office than staying. Whether you think Trump is an entitled narcissist seconds away from dooming the country or an American legend destined to drain the swamp, his potential departure is more complicated than anyone could predict.
It might sound crazy, but if you're a democrat, you might want to keep the guy around.
