LINK George Conway: Trump Is Unfit for Office - The Atlantic
Long article but worth the time.
Congress should consider all this because that’s what the question of impeachment demands. But there’s another reason as well. The people have a right to know, and a need to see. Many people have watched all of Trump’s behavior, and they’ve drawn the obvious conclusion. They know something’s wrong, just as football fans knew that the downed quarterback had shattered his leg. Others have changed the channel, or looked away, or chosen to deny what they’ve seen. But if Congress does its job and presents the evidence, those who are in denial won’t be able to ignore the problem any longer. Not only because of the evidence itself, but because Donald Trump will respond in pathological ways—and in doing so, he’ll prove the points against him in ways almost no one will be able to ignore.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.That is long! Conway is obviously a lawyer. Everything he states was clear to see long ago, but the Republicans chose to ignore it. If the Electoral College was designed for any purpose, it was to protect the country from popularly electing a con man by overriding the popular vote. It failed in its duty. The 25th Amendment will fail because of fear of retaliation. Impeachment will fail in the long run, not just because the Republicans in the Senate will not vote on it, but because by the time the House goes through the process the 2020 election cycle will be in full progress and unless Trump goes completely off the rails, people won’t care as they put all effort into electing a better president. What a messed up time we live in, but such is the cycle of life.

I think the only reason Pelosi decided to start the proccess is because the actual transgression is easy to understand and hard to spin away to the public at large - the people who normally defend the WH are struggling to do so with weird, insane shit no ones buying anymore.
I'm sure her whole calculation is on recapturing the Senate and just letting Trump self destruct on his own. If the house sends articles of impeachment the public grasps and the Senate doesn't convict due to blatent partisanship to stay in power by the Senate, the public backlash may flip the Senate to the dems control in 20.
Polling is starting to show trumps chances of reelection keep getting dimmer and dimmer which as this unfolds should only get worse and worse for him, so I'd even speculate she'd prefer the Senate clear him in naked partisanship. Trump would go into the election practically crippled - he should have been removed - and most probably wouldn't win. At worse it flips either the pres or the Senate to dems, at best gives control of all 3 branches to the dems.
We shall see what happens. Barring getting hit by a bus before then, of course.
