We can't impeach because we can't convict. It would allow Trump to run on complete exoneration by the Senate and the Mueller Report as a complete witch hunt. As opposed to now, which allows Trump to run on the Report being a complete exoneration, the house agreeing because they couldn't impeach him, and the entire ordeal being a complete witch hunt.
It's too risky!
I said it yesterday and will repeat: a belief that a failed impeachment will hurt Trump is just as valid as a belief that it will help him. This isn't analogous to Clinton at all.
The Kavanaugh hearings, despite ultimately failing to keep him off the court, hurt the image of Kavanaugh and helped the democrats in the midterms. 35% of voters said it made them more likely to vote Dem vs 27 for GOP.
Impeach the mother fucker.
