Enough Republicans will side[vote] with the Democrats to convict him. The Republicans hate him as bad if not worse that the Democrats. The Republicans want him out of Office as bad if not worse than the Democrats. There is a reason that the Senate Republicans are remaining silent.
The House’s role is over IF they actually vote to impeach. So they never will.
Instead, they’ll drag out hearings and say it’s up to the American people to decide in November
Otherwise, they open the door for real hearings and real investigations.
FYI.
The House’s Role
The House brings impeachment charges against federal officials as part of its oversight and investigatory responsibilities. Individual Members of the House can introduce impeachment resolutions like ordinary bills, or the House could initiate proceedings by passing a resolution authorizing an inquiry. The Committee on the Judiciary ordinarily has jurisdiction over impeachments, but special committees investigated charges before the Judiciary Committee was created in 1813. The committee then chooses whether to pursue articles of impeachment against the accused official and report them to the full House. If the articles are adopted (by simple majority vote), the House appoints Members by resolution to manage the ensuing Senate trial on its behalf. These managers act as prosecutors in the Senate and are usually members of the Judiciary Committee. The number of managers has varied across impeachment trials but has traditionally been an odd number. The partisan composition of managers has also varied depending on the nature of the impeachment, but the managers, by definition, always support the House’s impeachment action.
If they do that, there will be no point in voting at the ballot box in 2020.
