It is a good argument for impeaching the president—one of many. The counter-argument is that it's too risky, and not just from a partisan standpoint. If Trump "wins" an impeachment contest (and with the make-up of the Senate he will), then that will be proof that nothing can stop him. By trying to impeach (which most of the country thinks of as to remove) a wannabe dictator and failing, we may be shoring up his position, not as the Republican candidate for President, but as the political juggernaut against whom all resistance falls. It's an outside chance that this could accelerate the process of turning him into the dictator he wants to be. Nothing that's supposed to have checked him up to this point has. Forcing the issue may bring him down, but with the Senate make-up it probably won't. If it galvanized his position and solidified his power, it might be the biggest mistake we ever made.
