The House of Representatives is winding down its debate over whether to impeach Donald J. Trump.

It’s been brisk, impassioned, fast-moving, mostly mannerly to the great credit of politicians on both sides of the great divide.

It also has been wholly unconvincing to me. I also suspect it has changed a single mind among those who believe the impeachment is a non-starter.

To my mind and heart, Trump committed an impeachable act when he told the rioters to “walk down to the Capitol” and “take back the country.” He should be impeached. He is about to be impeached a second time and put on trial — eventually — in the Senate.

Trump will be gone from the office next week. My hope is that the Senate will convict him and deny him the chance to seek federal public office ever again.
