Impeachment of Trump has nothing to do with the Democrats.
The plan always was (and probably still is) for Mueller to give Ryan a fig leaf that would be enough for him to wrangle the 25 GOP votes needed to send charges to the Senate.
McConnell only needs 19 GOP Senators to convict, and I bet he has 30.
Spot on.
1. Ryan will never bring a Trump impeachment vote to the House in the 5 months that he has left. Hed be committing suicide.
1. If the Dems take control of The House and impeach Trump, they will never get the two thirds vote needed in the Senate to remove Trump from office.
In fact given how much the country is split at the moment, I dont think any party is going to get a two thirds majority in the US Senate for a very long time to come.

At least 30.
We need new GOP Senators, there are only a handful worth keeping.
