I say Trump will fall or remain based on on the outcome of the 2018 midterms. Over 45 seats change hands, he falls. Less than that, he is re-elected and does 8 years.

I disagree. Completely.
Let's assume you are correct and Trump is charged with a "low level of obstruction". However, a charge of "low level obstruction" is a crime that leads to impeachment proceedings. The Republican party might hold all of the power, if only barely, but enough of the Republican party would be willing to stand up and take a stand and remove him from office. The Republicans don't want to be seen as supporting Trump in the next elections.
This assumes that all he is charged with is some low level of obstruction. More likely it would be a much more serious level of obstruction. Then we can talk about some kind of other illegal activity - you know they are going over his finances - and then we can talk about collusion with the Russians. There is no doubt there was some collusion with the Russians - At the very least we know George Papadopoulos was meeting with Russian agents and knew about the hacked emails before anyone else.... This is one part of the collusion - It seems Trump Jr was meeting with Russian agents at an NRA event, where $30 million was passed to the Trump campaign.
Every time we turn around there is illegal activity going on.
I can't wait for this to blow up.
