They won't convict him because the public perception of impeachment is suffering in swing states and among their voter base, and voting for it would dramatically harm their reelection prospects, their party, and long-term public faith in American political institutions like Congress and the Presidency. And several Trump supported primary challengers have lost either to fellow Republicans or to Democrats. GOP voters do like Trump overall and it's worth understanding why.
