it would have taken so much time, and then the argument of "why not let the people vote" would've been more compelling...remember McConnell used that argument in February 2015 to avoid advise and consent on a SCOTUS nomination and his peeps said he was right...GOP/cons and right leaning independents would've been ballistic if the impeachment investigation was still on-going in 2020...so Dems decided to try a fast break while WH did a four corners...
never realistic to think that the Senate would've convicted and removed, regardless...so score some political points and hope it buttresses your case for 2020...
