As I've said (I quite profound you know). Everyone wants a Washington outsider until he/she starts acting like a Washington outsider.

Will Trump be impeached? If I had to bet money I'd say no; however, I seldom, if ever, bet on anything outside of my control. But I will say as ugly as the Trump Presidency has already been on all sides;l we are laying ground rules for future administrations. To include scrutiny of the office, election, and cabinet. Just like the Dems probably now regret enforcing the Nuclear Option as far as confirming Presidential appointees; I fear they will regret the endless barrage of scrutiny they have employed to date.

I'll type the reply to save folks time: Trump is worse than any President to date. He has not been scrutinized he's just done more bad stuff.  

I think most people recognize that just because someone is an "outsider" that does not make them a good candidate.

Trump's flaws were/are many.  His lack of self control, thin skin, short attention span, lack of attention to detail, small vocabulary, etc.

There are plenty of "outsiders" that would make much better candidates and who would make "missteps" along the way while learning the job.  Many would probably work very hard to learn from their mistakes rather than send people out to lie and say they never happened and then admit they did it anyway.

Whether Trump has or will reach impeachment level incompetence is yet to be seen.

But I think even members of his own (current) party would rather he just get out of the way.  He's a distraction...not that they didn't know that going in.  He's also a poor "leader."  Good at riling up the base but not good at getting things done.  He leaves that to the people under him...just as he always has.  

Trump is the "idea guy".  And there's "nobody better" than him.  Just ask him. 

Then he has people he trusts (usually family) to do the dirty work.  That's why Kushner has a longer job list than the VP has.

The scrutiny he has received has come mostly from his own words and actions.  And a lot of that has been, again, due to his character flaws.  Flaws that were in full display during the campaign but overlooked because "Clinton can't be trusted" and all the actual baggage that she came along with.

Apologist who now want to make it that his problems are simply because he's an outsider are still fooling themselves.
