It follows that Democrats would suffer for impeaching Trump?

That is some weird logic, but seems to be the argument?

Twenty Republicans would have to stand up for their Party and for their country, if all Democrats voted to impeach, in order to convict in the US Senate. The same people will say that is not possible.

But is that true?

Cannot twenty minds and hearts be changed?
