I had a similar thought. The GOP establishment is clearly not happy with Trump. If given a serious enough opportunity, the GOP may be willing to impeach their own President, to replace him with Mike Pence.

I can't imagine this playing out well for the GOP. Trump is a populist candidate; impeaching him would strongly alienate their base.

Depends on if they can hang a big enough scandal on him.

(there is a story out there that would be sufficient; it's hard to evaluate the credibility of it, but more information could become public and change that)

Word on the street is that's actually been the plan all along.

That would be a tremendously bad idea. Suppressing popular votes for hope (in this case by poorer people without college degrees) is what causes revolution.
