Removing Trump from office early can (and will) happen if (or when) GOP Senators stop shielding him.
That's a constitutional reality.
My view: The GOP Senators will stop shielding him when his support craters (probably below 30%).
Nixon provides an example of this.
Questions?

The chart I showed was his approval of his handling of the virus.

Apologies for not being clearer.
I meant his overall support, which is probably at about 40% right now.
The chart was meant to imply that the virus could make that happen.

The tragedy is that if we are indeed heading toward a cliff (mass graves and triaging) yes, his support could crater. https://twitter.com/evanbaily/status/1281922347780505601
The second part of the tragedy is that it would take a mass tragedy for his support to crater.

There is only so far you can lie.
When your local hospitals set up tents and tell you that a person you love cannot be saved because other younger and healthier patients need the equipment, a lie cannot cover this up.

It's easy. McConnell marches over to Pelosi's office, and says, "OK, we're done with him."
Pelosi has articles of impeachment drawn up.
Roger Stone is yet another example of using the powers of presidency corruptly for personal gain. There are dozens. https://twitter.com/Praydayder/status/1281923469010243584

Articles of Impeachment while the Senate is still supporting Trump would be a waste of time, and (in my view) makes sense only if it can be done quickly without taking time away from handling a global pandemic that is about to devastate parts of the country.
Certainly. Actually, that's not a bad idea. His term doesn't end until January 20. After the election, the Senators will have nothing to lose.
Notice that we're talking about a corrupt party putting power and self interest first. But that's another rant. https://twitter.com/JQP6/status/1281925146421284864

Nixon resigned when the Republican Senators told him that they'd no longer support him.
That's really the key, and where I started.
If the Republican Senators say they've had enough, he'd done. He'd be convicted in a trial and forever disgraced. https://twitter.com/nmfa17/status/1281926271769944064

Which brings me to my pet peeve: People are still blaming the Democrats for the fact that Trump is still in office 
Some of the people saying this obviously know how to read the Constitution, which makes it even more galling.

Right. Pence would have to follow a preset plan for dealing with the pandemic, or he'd have to go as well.
The same impeachment-removal process applies.

I think it's actually a lose-lose situation for them.
Trump controls the GOP "base." They can't win without that base. They'd never get enough Democrats to balance out the loss of those GOP voters if Trump turns on them.

. . . their only hope of winning is to retain Trump's base and peel off enough support from the independents.
The pandemic is making it impossible to win the support of anything other than the hard core base.
So lose-lose.

But if members of the "base" start understanding that they were lied to and led over a cliff, and that the Trump-Fox-GOP has brought mass death and suffering (in a palpable way) to their community, that could change.
That's a good question. Somewhere between 25 - 35%.
Bush and Nixon both went to the mid-20s, so that's rock bottom.
Bush went that low and he had Fox, but Bush didn't have the kind of control over the base that Trump has. https://twitter.com/snoqualmieCarl/status/1281933873048219648

If nothing is done to stop what is coming in Texas, Florida, and Arizona, yes. I think everything could be upended. The closest historical analogy is the Great Depression.
