I agree with a comment somebody wrote at the New York Times about Trump's impeachment.

Impeachment is political, not legal, in nature. As Gerald Ford observed, an impeachable act is whatever a House majority says it is at a given time. But the politics of this are rapidly worsening for Democrats. The public is not getting behind it -- Trump's approval rating is back at 45%, where it was before, and in the all-crucial Rust Belt states, he is now for the first time beating each of the four major Democratic contenders in head-to-head polling. The Democrats aren't recapturing the White House without those states, period.

Nancy Pelosi is no fool -- the fact that she has openly suggested delaying sending the impeachment resolution to the Senate shows she is aware this isn't playing well for Democrats. She is realizing that getting thrown into the briar patch is exactly what Trump has wanted all along! Democrats should do the smart thing -- declare that the Senate is too partisan to objectively look at the facts in a trial (which it is), censure Trump, and then concentrate on getting rid of him (isn't that the ultimate goal?) through the ballot box next year.

Those determined to continue with impeachment even knowing that it won't remove Trump, and seeing that it is actually energizing and emboldening him and his supporters, are not standing up for "principle" -- to the contrary, they are doing grievous harm.
