I am still hopeful that Republicans will find a way to remove Trump either by
1. 30 R senators being absent for the vote.
2. 3 Rs caucusing with Ds to create an anon vote rule.
3. 20 Rs just biting the bullet and voting to convict.

That said, I don't know if that will happen during the present impeachment trial.
If Republicans vote along party lines, I suspect a couple dozen will live with a deep sense of guilt. They will essentially be taking responsibility for Trump's continued abuses and crimes. 2/4

If Trump is allowed to skate, he will be emboldened. It will become increasingly difficult for Republicans to sweep it under the rug knowing their votes were the reason he's been allowed to run amok.
He will get exponentially worse and they will have to own it. 3/4

They'll know their names will be preserved in history books as those senators who gave license to his criminality.
THEN ... they might feel an inner desire to redeem themselves after ANOTHER impeachment.
