My rule of thumb is whatever "everyone" appears to think (based on what the official news stories tell them to think), the reality is pretty much the opposite.
I think a crashing of the economy is more likely/possible than an impeachment. But that will hit _everyone_ where it hurts, including themselves, so it's a complete dick move, and will be done only out of total desperation. So, quite likely.
Personally, I'd vote Trump 2020, Tulsi Gabbard for 2024. She's got a lot more going for her than the other Dem candidates, in both likability and policy. (Anti Fed, anti war, not completely batshit crazy "socialism")
