It might be best if they do impeach Trump, which will of course be DOA in the Senate, because after winning re-election and accomplishing even more of his MAGA agenda and being recognized as one of the most effective Presidents ever, it will take the stigma out of the word “impeachment”.
Bill Clinton already started this and pretty well succeeded, those who don’t like him do so because of his actions, not because he was impeached. Look at the facts and you’ll see that impeachment by the House only helped him - improving his public popularity and making him wealthy.
Trump is already wealthy, he still will be after he leaves office. Those who don’t like him will still be falsely accusing him of being a racist, sexist, etc - not because he was impeached in a kangaroo court on the weakest grounds and soon thereafter, re-elected.
It’s kind of like what has happened with the “F word”. It no longer has the shock value and instead of being embarrassed to say it, people are proud to do so.
Maybe future Presidents will consider being impeached by leftist morons to be a badge of honor, that they are doing the right thing.
RE: It might be best if they do impeach Trump,
I think they will for the following reasons:
1) They’ve come too far to back out now. Without a vote for impeachment, they will just be embarrassed for wasting the country’s time. So, they have to push through.
2) It will be a partisan vote with Democrats voting to impeach and Republicans voting not to. Some Democrats will join the Republicans, but the numbers are just not there to prevent impeachment. Dems have to do this to satisfy their rabid base. They have to do this so as to at least show them that they’ve tried.
But as you said, and I’ll add, other than Mitt Romney and Murkowsky possibly turning traitor (I don’t think Susan Collins will join), it will be DEAD in the Senate.
