How bad does it have to get before Trump gets his 1974-Goldwater-visit moment ?

Saturday is the 40th anniversary of President Richard Nixon's resignation.
Thursday, however, marks the anniversary of a related incident that has since become legendary in Arizona political lore. On Aug. 7, 1974, U.S. Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., U.S. House Minority Leader John Rhodes, R-Ariz., and U.S. Senate Minority Leader Hugh Scott, R-Pa., made it clear to the embattled Nixon that he faced all-but-certain impeachment, conviction and removal from office in connection with the Watergate scandal.
Nixon announced his resignation the next evening, effective at noon on Aug 9, 1974.
Over the years, Goldwater, Rhodes and Scott have been lionized for their often exaggerated role in precipitating Nixon's exit.
Will it have to come to the brink of impeachment ? Extremely bad poll numbers (as in the teens or single digits in a Gallup poll) ? What will it take ? I have no idea, given how corrupt and venal today's Republicans are.
