1) I’m with Baris on this.
Remember, strategery. The point is not to win, but to utterly annihilate your opponent’s ability to win.

2) Impeachment has been, has always been, an incredibly far fetched hail mary, because there is no currently realistic scenario in which Trump is hurt by impeachment.
His support is calcified; every point of approval he gains is a point he can no longer lose.

3) Because impeachment has been tried repeatedly, because its been projected as the goal for the Dems for so long, when they DO vote for impeachment, Trump doesn't lose any support. It calcifies further. Its a losing proposition for the Dems.
4) Their ideal scenario, their win condition, is an impeachment trial where McConnell dismisses it right away so the Dems can campaign on the Senate protecting the president.
McConnell has made it clear that won't be what happens.

5) Someone already mentioned the news cycle.
You're right.
And what is the news cycle, the MSM, going to be FORCED to cover after hyping impeachment for so long?
The impeachment trial.
They have no option BUT to cover it.

6) What is Trump's goal? Its not to win the impeachment trial. He will already, that's easy.
It is destruction.
The strategery goal is to annihilate the Dems reputation, their authority, their legitimacy.
It is to annihilate that of all of his opponents, left and right.

7) "Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared." Machiavelli
8) Trump has been preparing for the Dems impeachment Waterloo for years now.
He baited and goaded.
He probably took shots at Greta specifically to get the last few Dem fence-sitters to vote for impeachment.
He WANTS a party line vote. He WANTS the quisling GOP to surface.

9) The resulting firestorm, the battle that shall be waged, shall be so vicious, so total, so complete in its fury, that such a thing shall never be tried again. That obstruction of his agenda shall never be attempted for fear of provoking this rage again.
10) The skills of the Prince is the gathering and maintenance of power.
Trump gathered power over a lifetime, honing skills and gathering allies.
He will maintain power by the elimination of his opposition in a most public and brutal manner.
