The only thing that will make impeachment possible is the 2020 election. They need more Senate seats before they have any chance at impeachment.
However, if we win enough seats to impeach Trump while simultaneously re-electing Trump...that would just be downright bizarre.
I just don't think impeachment is even on the table. The Republicans will not budge on that because they know the second they attempt to impeach Trump, his entire base will turn on them, just in time for the 2020 election, which would basically condemn them to being replaced by Democrats.
