This is key, because at the end of the day, Trump and people surrounding him have been massively incompetent - hence the reason they couldn't end DACA and have had so many other policies struck down by courts.
If Rs don't convict him, it leaves the door open for a more extreme, but smarter person to take over Trump's base (think J. Hawley), and really follow through on 'taking their country back'. We now know there's plenty of support from congressional Rs .
