Now it goes to the Senate where they will have an actual trial and vote to acquit or convict. If they vote to convict, then Congress begins the process of removing Trump from office. However, at that point they would have a fight on their hands, and his legal team would use every recourse available to overturn that decision.
However, the Democrats don't have a majority in the Senate like they do in the house. And despite the (((media))) claiming that even the Republicans will vote to convict, many think there are several Democrats who will vote to acquit, and Mitch "Turtle-Face" McConnell has said he'll move to dismiss the proceedings entirely.
So basically, the Democrats are between a rock and a hard place. If they fail, then they're done, and may as well concede 2020 already. If they succeed, that still won't be an immediate removal, and even if he gets removed, that still won't make Hillary the President. Then we'll have President Mike "Amperes for the Queers" Pence, and they won't like him any more than they do Trump. But it it would mean that the Republicans would have to scramble to field a candidate for 2020, and they would be at a severe disadvantage starting out this late in the game.
The kicker now, though, is the trial itself. The DNC repeatedly blocked testimony and evidence coming from anyone but their own carefully chosen few. But since it's going to a full Senate trial, the GOP can call whoever the fuck and their dog they so choose, and the Democrats won't be able to stop it. This is what the conspiracy minded think has been the plan all along. Get it into the Senate so all the dirty laundry can be aired.
Basically, this is their last, desperate gamble to sew up 2020. If they fail, they lose everything. If they succeed, they'll essentially have the momentum needed to install whoever they want in November.

We would not be a union by November.

Oh I have no doubt if they manage to weasel a conviction that it'll probably kick off The Boogaloo. Just pointing out what I see as the plan according to them. And those plans apparently don't account for the populace not immediately bowing to their whims.

They merely want to clog up the Congressional dockets to avoid bailout requests since the Congress is in session.
We all know why the power keeps going out; because they cannot stand hardworking men and trad housewives in utility in their neighborhoods and want money for fires their own teenagers set.
