What has history taught these people from 2009-2019, if not that the GOP has no interest in negotiating anything.

THEY ARE NOT DEMS if they are thinking Trump did not commit high crimes and misdemeanors

TRUMP IS A CRIMINAL. I actually say he is a traitor.

I think he has committed treason.

I'm constantly amazed at the elected government officials who now appear to be so abysmally stupid. WTF are they thinking???

Most of them come from districts that were won by Trump and still tilt red.

Ben McAdams (UT-4) - Cook PVI: R+13 - Trump margin of victory: 13 points

Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) - Cook PVI: R+3 - Trump margin of victory: 1 point

Anthony Brindisi (NY-22) - Cook PVI: R+6 - Trump margin of victory: 15 points

of the four mentioned in the article only Kurt Schrader's district is rated EVEN and was won by Clinton.

Not hard to see why they favor censure over impeachment.

I can't imagine any Democrat in a safe seat voting for censure in place of impeachment. How drastic do Trump's crimes have to be, fer Pete's sake?
