Who is going to "depose" Trump? That would require impeachment by the House of Representatives and conviction by 2/3 of the Senate. Both now have Republican majorities. Considering the way Trump went through J. Bush, Kasich, Cruz, Rubio, etc. in the Republican nomination process of 2016, the Republican legislator who votes to impeach or convict would have reason to believe sawing off the limb he sits on. As for the Democrats, what would they get if Trump disappeared from Washington tomorrow--resigned to play more golf, say? President Pence, much more experienced in the mechanics of government, better able to organize and lead an agenda, eligible to run not only in 2020 but 2024. Given the absence of an obvious beneficiary here, I don't see a palace coup in the making.
I don't work in the media, mainstream or otherwise. Until Trump was nominated, I thought very poorly of Clinton's chances.
