My premise is, Trump acquitted, wins re-election with the bump from the general public growing increasingly weary with the impeachment process. What could Pelosi hope to gain from this?
My guess, she is hoping it makes at least 4 Republican Senators vulnerable in so-called purple districts. To aero's point, it would take at least 5.

You do realize that is the single most anti-impeachment recent poll out there?

Fivethirtyeight rates the polling of it a B. So it's credible.

Sure it is, I didn't say it's an unreliable poll. Just that it's an outlier.

I did say the more outlandish ideas. Not that they wouldn't pass anything at all.

I assume that's why he said 4. Otherwise 3 would do it, with a Dem VP.

Oh. Right. 
Assuming a Trump re-election, then - certainly plausible at this point. *NM*
