Why the President of the United States should be impeached?

And it should happen immediately after the Congress receives their report from Robert Mueller. It doesn't really matter how much more is in the report. The American people have enough information already, in my opinion.

But, it is just a waste of time to impeach if there is no conviction in the Senate, many argue. Which, at some time in our past, may have been true?

Then, what purpose would it serve to go thru an impeachment and not know the exact vote in the majority Republican Senate?

First of all, the American people deserve, and must demand, to see what is in the Mueller report. There is talk that they want to redact much of it from public view?

If the US Senate does not vote to convict Donald Trump on the charges in the impeachment, then the people can clearly see where they stand. They, then must decide if that is where they want to stand? That alone, is enough to impeach their entire Party, in my opinion.

that he won't have impeachment hearings either.

In a way, this morass for the past 3+ weeks has been a message to Congress and the country that MMc won't do impeachment and nobody can make him.

ASAP. A spy/agent of Russia as president doesn't deserve anything besides a jail cell for a long time.

If they did have a sense of honor, or even self preservation, they would send a delegation to the White House with a letter of resignation and a pen.
It should not even. have to come to impeachment. He should be forced to resign...NOW.

The 45th presient of the US is a Russian asset.

He is in the bunker phase now, hiding behind the office of the presidency and he can do a world of harm on his way down.

Let the States take him apart. The GOP is on the hot seat now. They are entirely complicit and they will own all of this including the pardons that will result from *45 and then Pence. If they fail to act now they are finished as a party, but we may also be finished as a democracy.
