I don't see a vote to impeachment as a definite win for the Dems. As you rightly allude to, it will be political theater, which can always backfire. It would also fire up Trump's base and people leaning that way. It would be very easy to paint the Dems as attempting to usurp the POTUS and subvert democracy. This type of thing would be red meat for right leaning voters. It really hurts how this would be perceived because there's been talk of impeaching Trump from the minute the election was decided.
I understand your point, but I really don't see this as a slam dunk triumph for the Dems.
