We would be in a very different place if the Democrats had made their peace with Trump's election and then evidence of impeachable offenses had emerged. As it stands I can't shake the sense that we are watching the republic come apart before our eyes.

We're setting ourselves up for a very volatile situation in which impeachment (very predictably) fails to result in removal and Trump (very predictably) wins a second democratic election. This'll be treated as a near impossibility, a complete surprise & a subversion of democracy.
Elected sitting presidents seeking re-election very, very rarely fail to get it. When they do fail, they're facing a weak economy (Trump is not) and/or an extremely strong cross-party-popular opponent (Trump almost certainly will not be).

I'm not saying Trump can't lose, but it will be an extraordinarily unusual historical event if he does.
