Impeachment vs Censure: Can the Democratic Party Save the World From Trump?

Some are saying that a censure resolution would be more effective than an impeachment hearing in fear that unsuccessfully impeaching Donald Trump would lead to his victory in the upcoming 2020 elections.

The key is not whether or not impeachment can succeed in the house, but whether or not it can wake up the American people to the crimes of Donald Trump. And impeachment has that kind of ability.

Opening an impeachment inquiry is a must, because it circumvents Trump's court delays that he's using to run out the clock.
