Every other possible POTUS is part of the entrenched ruling elite. The House (even when Pub) and the Senate are not giving Trump carte blanche; for example there is no major wall-building program, and Obamacare is still around, which were two of Trump's main campaign promises. All getting rid of Trump would do is show that the people matter even less. The message then is: "Elect someone the ruling class doesn't approve of and we'll make up some ridiculous charges and impeach him out."

The ruling class is a diverse group that's rarely in agreement about anything.  
Question: suppose you asked all 100 senators and all 50 governors to nominate someone for President, someone other than themselves.  Heck, even include the 5 territorial governor's.  That's 155 people who have all achieved something in government, and know how it works.  Do you think, in mid or late 2015, even one of them would have picked Trump?
