With a Republican House and Senate? Straight to impeachment I would imagine.
Probably not a majority but with the opposing candidates crowds chanting "lock her up"? Anything from Tripoli to email server could be used as an excuse. The point about impeachment isn't to remove the president but make it difficult for them to govern. See Bill Clinton.
I think Republicans would have impeached in 2019, after spending two years conjuring up a case.
Supreme Court would have stuck at 8, then 7 members. With a 4-3 majority, gerrymandering gets killed off, but the state legislatures ignore the Court's rulings, Alabama even goes so far as to declare the court unconstitutional.
Hillary fatigue happens as deadlock and partisan gridlock gets intense, but without the atrocities to fire up the liberal base, Dems take a huge beating in the 2018 midterms. Senate is 57 Republicans, House is about 250 Republicans. Hillary does not get a primary challenge in 2020. AOC is still a bartender.
The economy remains fairly strong, without Trump's misadventures it's somewhat stronger than OTL. There are 20 Republican candidates in 2020- Mark Meadows, Marco Rubio, and Scott Walker are the current frontrunners.
Despite all this, Hillary is having the wagons circled around her by Dems, as most have the view that she's the only thing holding back the apocalypse, and if they can hold on in 2020, new districts might give them a fighting chance. Hillary isn't that down in the polls either, as she's getting a bump from the failed impeachment and good economy.
In addition, the Republicans still remember the backlash that they got over the impeachment of Bill Clinton.

I think the right wing would be much stronger then it is now with someone to rally against.
Do you mean the far-right or the "mainstream conservativism"? I can hardly imagine that the Alt Right could exploit a Hillary Clinton Presidency. And the far-right "mainstream conservativism" (ie FOX News) will find always a target to rally against: Muslims, Leftists, Immigrants. Take your favorite or even mix them (ie Ilhan Omar).I think the right wing would be much stronger then it is now with someone to rally against.
That would be the backlash that lost them one seat in the House and got a Republican elected President. They did lose 4 seats in the Senate that is true but hardly an unforgettable backlash??
