The House is only going to get one shot at impeachment, and who wants to empower Trump by blowing it if a better chance could come along later? Who wants to give him the chance of "vindication" and a ratings bump that could take him to a second term?
My opinion is that they should do the right thing regardless of what anyone thinks the likely outcome may be.
