Hello All,
I'm here to write why I think it would be ill-advised to impeach Trump in the present state of the government, (as of October 25, 2018). The first, and largest problem being that if Trump is impeached, which is unlikely, even after the midterms, as this assumes a Democrat win in the House and Senate, the latter of which will be a harder race for Democrats, is Mike Pence, as a bible-thumper, arch-conservative, it's almost better to wait it out until 2020, because even Republicans are starting to dislike Trump's brand of conservatism, and Pence is further right than Trump on Gay Marriage, Abortion ( on which Trump has no consistent position I can find) and on women's rights, because of Presidential Line of Succession, Pence would take office and become the 46th POTUS, resulting in a far more conservative America that might cause a mass exodus to countries like Canada, The U.K, and the Netherlands. The Second issue is that as there may be a new Speaker of the House after Paul Ryan's term expires, and there may be an imbalance of political parties in the House and Senate resulting in total gridlock. The Third and final reason is that terrible as Trump is, there are far worse in the Republican Party, Trump is more populist and changes to match the most popular opinion to ensure re-election, as he doesn't need party backing to fund a campaign, and can scrounge up votes for the 2020 Republican Presidential Nominee simply by being the incumbent, which brings a high chance of re-election.

P.S- Also failed impeachment proceedings could boost his approval rating.
