Jaw dropping.

Thank God Americans were a little more patriotic in 1942.

I think it's more that it's not worth the effort 18 months away from the election. By the time any actual attempt at impeachment (and the various court fights and appeals that will take place in the process) it will be the 2020 election. It is also less about the GOP upsetting the Trump cult, and them wrecking their own incumbent's election (which statistically is very favorable for re-election).

Since the GOP won't likely tank their incumbent for the opposing part, it means it would be an effort that is doomed to fail. An effort against Trump that is doomed to fail probably only actually helps Trump on the campaign trail because it gives him an easy and clearly defined enemy and attack point.

It's like The Usual Suspects... "How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?"... either have a rock solid impeachment effort, or have none at all. Half-measures really only helps Trump whip people into an us-vs-them, they're-out-to-get-us voting frenzy. They don't have rock solid here, so they should probably just let it be and focus their efforts on winning in 2020.
