It's quite likely that the Senate will not remove Trump. [View all]
However, the process of Impeachment in the House and trial in the Senate will still serve to publicize Trump's behavior, with massive public exposure of that behavior to the voters.
That is its true value. If that exposure leads to Trump failing in his re-election attempt, then it will have the same result as if he were removed from office by the Senate. Either way, he will no longer be President.
It is very likely that the Republicans in the Senate will hang together in voting against removal. But, they will have to do that publicly. They will have to add their names to the list of those who refuse to see justice done. That may well be enough to swing the Senate to a Democratic majority, which is a powerful goal. The Republicans will hang together, in more than one sense of that word.
If, following the 2020 General Election we have a Democratic President and Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress, we will have turned Donald Trump and the Republicans out of office and out of control. That is a goal we should all strive to achieve.
Impeachment in the House and the trial in the Senate will expose Donald J. Trump and his behavior to public scrutiny, and in a way that cannot be achieved in any other way.
Our goal should be to help the public view and understand what is happening, throughout that process.
