There is some awful Dem groupthink that impeachment proceedings hurt the 2020 nominee. Not only is this the lawful and moral course but it will help—not hurt—their prospects.
First off, an impeached (even if not convicted) Trump is less electable than a not impeached Trump. Remember this would be unprecedented—an impeached president up for re-election—and a strong argument for returning to normalcy (i.e. lawful order).
Second, these intensely debated and incriminating proceedings would helpfully counteprogram the raucousness of the Dem primary contest and demonstrate an unmistakable need for new leadership.
Maybe we don’t get to an impeachment vote, and maybe the Dem prez candidates play nice forging a consensus alternative for the nation (making my second point moot), but it is hugely wrong not to launch such proceedings.
