Hey Ken B. The problem with Taibbi's "coup" argument is that in the US, actually have a strong constitutional chain of command in place. If Trump decided to step down because of all these impeachment affairs (like Nixon did), we'd get Pence. I'm a die-hard liberal but I would LOVE Pence to be in charge. Even if Pence were re-elected in 2020! Hell, I would take almost any republican over Trump right now.
The people who want Trump to go are not imagining that he would be replaced with some kind of imaginary liberal four-star military general (does one even exist?) or Nancy Pelosi. We just want a return to norms of governing and a respite from a 24-hour news cycle.
