Televised hearings would go a long way to making it happen.

Impeachment should only proceed in the House with more than sufficient evidence to require the Senate to convict. Make sure to tag in the media any Republican refusing to support conviction.

Use everything against Republican Senators. Their ties with Russia for one.
