Realistically, there was almost no chance to see 16 or 17 Republican candidates change sides to support the impeachment. As far as I can see, the following are the only 2 reasons that I can think of for the Democrats to try pushing the impeachment through:
- Pelosi's personal vendatta against Trump
- the political grandstanding to brand Trump as the only president in United States history to have 2 impeachment attempts against his name
I know the Democrats wanted to try and use the impeachment to prevent Trump from running for office again, but that never made sense to me, and I'm sure the Democrats are aware of how good their chances are for the scheme to succeed. So peronally, I just find the impeachment attempt to be rather weird.
