CMV: Partisanship makes it almost impossible to remove a Republican president for abusing his office

Trump will likely get acquitted of impeachment soon after the Senate declined to hear witnesses. Of the 4 GOP senators who may have voted to hear witnesses, Alexander and Murkowski voted no because they thought Democrats had already proven trumps guilt and that the Senate had already failed, respectively. Both Collins and Romney have been criticised for even voting to hear witnesses which means that the mainstream GOP position is that it is immoral for senators to want to provide oversight for Republican presidencies or to even investigate them.

Given that impeachment requires 67 senators to vote for impeachment, I believe impeachment is now impossible as Republican senators have just signalled that abuse of power is perfectly acceptable behaviour for Republican presidents. This means that removing a Republican president from office would require 67 or more non-republican senators which would be virtually impossible given the current balance of power among both parties and the GOP advantage in the Senate.

This means that, aside from presidential elections, Republican presidents can now abuse their power as they wish (as long as it never helps democrats) as there is no viable option to remove them.

I will CMV if someone can convince me that Republicans would support removing a Republican president for abuse of power.

Partisanship is the only reason the motion was filed to begin with.  If there were a valid impeachment foundation not simply based in Democrat majority partisan voting then it'd be completely possible to impeach a Republican president.
