I don't think they have to make sure they have the votes.
Let the House vote to impeach and let the Senate stop them.
That makes clear what each party stands for.
And Trump pays some price at least for criminal behavior.
You already know the outcome of the vote. You already know what each party stands for: the power to control.
Trump isn't going to pay any price for criminal behavior via impeachment because he will not be impeached and he cannot be indicted while president (at least not without a court battle which will eventually need to be decided by the SCOTUS.)
The quickest way to punish him is to defeat him in the next presidential election.
