It probably stopped being about policy a long time ago. It's about unyielding hostility now.
And it will continue long after any hope of a restoration has passed. Vengeance for paradise lost "in this life or the next".
If Hillary had been suited to the role she could have been the Democratic Arthur, the last of the Romans before the dark ages. The quondam et futurus president. But she keeps flubbing her lines.
But even if the impeachment fails it may yet triumph as myth. "Don't let it be forgot that once there was a spot for one briefing shining moment as the third term of Barack Obama". That will ever remain the lost dream, the future that could have been.
It's the dream they want to save now. When you say "Camelot" people look at Hillary, Biden and say "nah". No Camelot there. What AOC, Warren and Sanders have going for them is that one can still have illusions about them.
