Any one with a lick of political sense knew the Democrats would impeach Trump if they gained control of the house.

I don't think that is true at all. Trump actually had to commit some impeachable offenses to get himself impeached. Impeaching just because they didn't like him would have been political suicide for Democrats. That's exactly what happened after Republicans impeached Clinton over an adulterous fling. In fact, Trump had to commit a lot of offenses, and finally some very serious constitutionally-enumerated offenses to make the Democrats act. They could have impeached him for violating the Emoluments Clause in his first month, but they held their noses and ignored that offense.

I guess you could argue that Trump's impeachment was inevitable because Trump is basically a criminal, but if he had not committed those offenses and instead acted like a responsible adult once he was in office, it would NOT have happened.

You keep claiming the partisanship is equal on both sides, but it's really more like one Party is certifiably insane and the other Party doesn't like the insane things they are doing. The telling point is that some principled Republicans don't like those insane things either. Conway, Mueller, George Will, Romney, and Comey are all Republicans.
