But feel free to continue with your delusions.

I think the house Democrats have to impeach him at this point. I'd do it if I were them. I mean, is there a chance that any of the prominent players would lose their Congressional seats over impeaching Trump for whatever reason that suits them at this point? Personally, I think they've done pretty good for themselves with the portion of the Democratic party that seems to matter to them the most these days. If there is little to no concern of losing control over their portion of the Democratic party and their portion of the country then why not go through with it and continue functioning as they've been doing and have been allowed to be able to do and  get away with for years.

There's also the minor matter of overwhelming evidence of impeachable offenses.  Trump's clearly guilty of bribery and extortion, and he's also guilty of accepting (even soliciting) emoluments.  Both are defined offenses in the US Constitution.  If there has ever been a POTUS who deserves to be impeached and convicted, it's Trump.  If Trump gets a pass on this, the flood gates are fully open for misbehavior on a colossal scale, and the next offender may not be a GOPper..
