Trump must go: the sooner the better.
Having said that, and believing that the best way to that end is to block Trump on EVERYTHING not essential to national security (should he ever make such a sound decision), I nonetheless feel that the Democratic leadership in Congress is calling it right.
Trump's primary - but not sole - illegitimacy comes from his disconnect from reality, on the one hand, and his attempt to gain a monopoly on truth while driving all competing realities (science, the press, the courts, etc.) to the wall.
Someday he may be driven from office on those grounds, either by impeachment or a declaration of incompetency.
But Republicans are not there yet so it seems reasonable to look for the impeachable in what he DOES rather than what he SAYS.
So far, by THAT standard, even I would not vote to convict at this time.
When he violates a court order - a line that even Nixon did not cross - it will be difficult for Republicans to gainsay CONSIDERED ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE.
