So what we are saying is that after all of this noise, not only can we only muster less than a quarter of the House, but less than half of the Democrats. No doubt certain RP members will comment about how Impeachment is still imminent. Just wait for Mueller's testimony... blah, blah, blah.
I don't think it is going to happen, despite all of the grumbles out of certain Congressmen. If it does, it will be timed to try to affect the election outcome.
But I think that the pragmatic members are well aware that they don't have a strong case, and their is no chance in hell that they get 67 Senators to vote to remove the President. I seriously doubt that they will ever get half the House, for political reasons.
Look for this nonsense to continue, though. Not like there are any pressing matters to take care of or anything.

I can't think of a better metaphor for all the fuss and fury over impeachment than this...

CPT Jack Durish - A quick look down that list of names and I didn't catch a single one that wasn't in a reliably blue district. Using Minnesota as the example, I have Betty McCollum from St Paul, who got something like 73% of the vote in her district, and Ilhan Omar from Minneapolis, who got 78% in hers. Notably absent were the Representatives from the competitive suburban districts. I expect that for these blue districts, it is red meat for their fans to hold show votes such as these. But for ones that might face electoral consequences, it is radioactive to vote for something that will go nowhere and come back to haunt them in 2020.

CPT Jack Durish, I fully expected Steve Cohen of Tennessee's 9th District to vote for impeachment and he did not disappoint (although he is truly a disappointment and a disgrace to the State of Tennessee for his behavior in the U.S. House).
Tennessee has nine representatives, and only two of them are Democrats. The other eight representatives voted against impeachment, which includes the other Democrat.
