I think you forget that the second time they got to 54 votes to convict, including multiple Republicans. It’s difficult but not impossible. And even if they don’t get a conviction, which is obviously the most likely outcome, at the very least it distracts the administration and as long as the public supports it it’s a winning issue.
If you think things will keep marching unimpeded the way they are now with impeachment proceedings going on, I think you forget how disruptive they have been in the past
and when the inevitable 'acquittal' from the senate comes, it will empower him and he'll crank the shitshow up even more than it already is.
OK then I guess we shouldn’t impeach him. Cool. Let’s just keep doing what we’re doing. Unless you’ve got some great plan you’re trying to tee up here?
The only way to beat Trump is to turn the public against him. Until the public turns on him, there is no political will to stop him.
