I agree -- governmental and legal structures only matter insofar as we believe in them. This really does seem like a no-win scenario for the Democrats. If they don't vote to refer things to the Senate for a trial, Trump can say he was exonerated again, and it gives that much more support to the "witch hunt" narrative. If it goes to the Senate but there's no vote to remove, then the same thing happens. And what's worse is that this happening will make Trump impeachment-proof for however long he remains in office. He could do anything after this and there'd be no way to even think about impeachment.
