If the Republicans let Trump hang around, then that means he will be a roadblock to whatever roadmap they try to construct for 2022 and 2024 to get their handpicked establishment stooges nominated for house seats, senate seats, and the presidential nomination.

If Trump is still around, their plan to ram Nikki Haley down our throats will be very difficult. They believe if they impeach him, then it raises their chances of being able to shove Nikki down our throats because they are betting on more right leaning voters being disgusted by Trump for being impeached, than backing Trump despite him being impeached.

They are betting on the fact that impeachment will lead a new wave of orange man bad amongst right leaning Trump supporters who will then be more willing to accept the alternative presented to us by the GOPe.
