11. Yes

In the short term, Democrats will be angry and frustrated and Trump will parade around as a victor.

But in the long run, this is a huge thing. In the future, no one will care whether there were 67 or 57 votes for conviction. History will forever record that, for the first time in history, a substantial majority of Senators found Trump guilty of inciting insurrection.
