LOL: Battleground/Red State Democrats Begging and Whining for Censure Option, So They Can Avoid Voting on Impeachment and Avoid Being Sent Packing

Bear in mind, these Democrats are hurt even if they vote against impeachment. If they vote against it, they keep moderates on their side, but they lose a big chunk of their super-woke leftist base.

Any impeachment vote hurts them, whether it passes or fails, whether they vote yea or nay.

A group of House Democrats are reportedly considering censuring President Donald Trump instead of impeaching him.

A group of about 10 Democratic members of Congress, including New Jersey Rep. Josh Gottheimer, Oregon Rep. Kurt Schrader, New York Rep. Anthony Brindisi, and Utah Rep. Ben McAdams, are all reportedly open to a censure resolution of Trump instead of moving forward with impeachment, according to Politico.

"I think it's certainly appropriate and might be a little more bipartisan, who knows," Schrader told Politico on Tuesday when asked about a possible censure, adding "Time's slipping by."

"Right now, there's no other options. This is another option," another Democratic member of Congress told Politico.

As reported yesterday, impeachment is pushing Trump up, and Biden and the rest of the Democrat field down, in must-flip former Democrat strongholds Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

As House Democrats continue to increase the pressure in their impeachment inquiry of President Trump, his numbers are rising in battleground states where he’s now ahead of the top polling Democrats in the 2020 field.

Mr. Trump saw a more than a four-point boost in his numbers when compared to the Democratic frontrunner former Vice President Joe Biden in the state of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania, according to polling done last week by Firehouse Strategies compared to its prior polling earlier this year.

In March Mr. Trump was down 12 points compared to Mr. Biden in Wisconsin, seven points in Pennsylvania and nearly tied in Michigan. But since the impeachment inquiry has been carrying on, Mr. Trump now leads Mr. Biden by nine points in Wisconsin, five points in Michigan and four points in Pennsylvania.

Opposition to impeachment rose higher than 50% for the first time since Pelosi announced the impeachment inquiry in the Quinnippiac poll.
