Rho Khanna is pushing for a censure vote rather than impeachment.

This sounds a bit like weak sauce to me. Most voters dont care about political maneuvers of this kind. Trump supporters even less. Only impeachment inquiries will have a chance to move the needle.

1. I believe this is coordinated

The leadership is feeling the pressure so they are sending out these guys to argue an alternative on TV.

2. He should have been censured every day

of his presidency. He did something horrible every day.

3. Is that a step above a strongly worded letter?

4. Too severe. A verbal warning should be punishment enough

9. Spanking with Forbes magazine

It seemed to have worked with Stormy

5. What's a censure mean to Trump?

He'll just laugh it off.

6. that's even worse than doing nothing

7. A big, fat, extra shiney butterknife to the gun fight. nt

8. A tweet will be more effective

Tweet: You naughty boy. We are not happy with you.

I am sure Trump will be so repentant that he will stop breaking the law.

10. One way to test the waters.

And impeachment vote can easily follow.

11. So he proposes we have agressive investigations just so we can censure Trump?

12. Can they upgrade the punishment if the evidence warrants it?

You all see what is happening, don’t you? Republicans whine and Democratic leadership is afraid to upset them.

[drray23]

13. Indeed. Somebody (I dont remember whom)

Summarized it well in a tweet by saying that the GOP does things so as to not upset their base whereas we Democrats are concerned about trying not to upset voters outside our base....

14. Maybe they should come out and see what life is like living in Republican privileged enclaves.

There is nothing here worth salvaging. The Dems will only encourage them to be aggressive and demanding because they know no one can stand up to them.
