"McConnell could call a vote on a motion to dismiss.."
Instead of never starting, McConnell could end the "trial" in minutes, passing it off as a partisan witch hunt, and what about Biden taking billions out of China, and the Clinton Foundation?

It's one thing to just deep-six it - quite another to call a vote.
Even if they can kind of hid their vote, voters in their districts will have their revenge.
So even a motion to dismiss should garner much more support than the lockstep GOP backing Trump currently.

Strikes me that this is why the Dems have to make sure it is a really big shew, with a clear simple narrative, Ed Sullivan style, that a lot of the country will be watching.
He gets away with doing what he does because it's just not that common for people to pay attention to what Congress is doing. It's got to be a kabuki show, and then he can't get away with it.
(Comes to mind John McCain got how to play this whole thing with his game-changing vote on Obamacare. He knew plenty of people were watching that one.)

Another factor is that narrowing the focus of the charges allows a way out of larger circles of incrimination.
For the time being, much information is being sequestered behind the firewall of executive privilege with Barr actively damming the river. If that dam were to break, many GOP secret dealings would be revealed at the same time.
The whistleblower has offered an exit strategy for them to act against Trump before the worst is revealed.
