House Democrats unveil impeachment probe parameters

9. It's not that hard to figure out.

If one delves further into the polls, most people think (correctly) that removal will fail in the Senate, so some see it as a waste of time and think the time would be better spent trying to oust Trump and his minions in 2020.

It's not that he isn't worthy of impeachment; it's that the process is doomed to fail at removing him from office, which many people believe should be the goal of impeachment. The argument then, as it has always been, is whether it's worth the effort, knowing he won't be removed.

On that, the public is largely split, similar to Congress. An impeachment in this instance is pretty much a purely political move, hoping that it will sway undecided voters to oust him.

"the next "Trump" knows that they can basically do all the same things"

That's already the case. A failed removal wouldn't change that, as much as people seem to insist otherwise. If Trump faces no consequences as the result of impeachment, I don't see how the "next" Trump would be swayed by the process.
