Scenario 5: Trump fires Mueller, Republicans circle wagons in Congress and defend his actions as being within his powers as president and fend off talk about impeachment. Midterm elections come and while the DNC does well enough to win a thin majority in the Senate, gerrymandering and voter suppression ensure the GOP maintain the House by a thin sliver. 2019 begins with the House GOP setting out their plan for the next two years: Run down the clock. Meet calls for impeachment with “He’ll be gone in two years,” while using the time on the clock to pass partisan bills they know won’t pass in the Senate but will help boost their support amongst their base. Trump’s presidency basically becomes a hollow shell of itself, with nobody taking the man seriously and everybody counting the days until 2021 when whoever the DNC runs against him takes office.
