Back in September, Professor Allan Lichtman predicted a Trump presidency. His opinion wouldn't matter, except he's correctly predicted the results of all presidential elections for the past 30 years. And sadly, he was right this time, too—Trump indeed did win. But what The Washington Post didn't report on initially was that Lichtman also predicted that Trump would be impeached.

The Washington Post published a follow-up piece about Lichtman's predictions, explaining that at the end of their September conversation, Lichtman said that he's "quite certain Trump will give someone grounds for impeachment":

"I'm going to make another prediction. This one is not based on a system; it's just my gut. [Republicans] don't want Trump as president, because they can't control him. He's unpredictable. They'd love to have Pence — an absolutely down-the-line, conservative, controllable Republican. And I'm quite certain Trump will give someone grounds for impeachment, either by doing something that endangers national security or because it helps his pocketbook."

Is impeachment something we should be hoping for right now? Probably not, because a Pence presidency wouldn't do us any favors either, but if Lichtman's 30-year streak keeps going, a Pence presidency may just be what we get. You can listen to Lichtman discuss this prediction at the 12-minute mark below.
