Quote:CNN senior global affairs analyst Bianna Golodryga said Tuesday that she's hearing “rumblings” within the Democratic caucus that perhaps the party “should just go with censure” instead of trying to impeach President Trump.

"You’re now hearing rumblings within, Democrats saying, 'Maybe we should just go with censure,' or not really knowing how to move forward on this given where the president is and given where Republicans are," said Golodryga, who joined CNN after stints with ABC, CBS and Yahoo News.

She pointed out that two weeks of public testimony on Trump’s dealings with Ukraine “did not move at all” the positions of Republicans ranging from moderates such as Rep. Will Hurd (Texas) to more vocal Trump defenders such as Rep. Elise Stefanik (N.Y.).

"They said that they do not believe anything the president did was impeachable and, in fact, they seem to be protecting the president more than they were prior to these two weeks,” she said.

Polls in 2020 battleground states indicate that voters aren’t fully sold on House Democrats’ impeachment efforts.

Surveys taken in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Wisconsin show an average of 51 percent opposing impeachment and 44 percent supporting it, according to a Tuesday Washington Post story.

Trump, currently in London at this year's NATO summit, has repeatedly called the impeachment hearings "a hoax" and "a disgrace."

The House Judiciary Committee is set to hold a hearing on Wednesday titled "The Impeachment Inquiry into President Donald J. Trump: Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment."

Witnesses include legal scholars as Democrats consider if evidence presented before the House Intelligence Committee warrant the drafting of articles of impeachment.

In October, no GOP House members voted for a measure to formalize procedures for impeachment proceedings. Just two Democrats opposed the measure.

Impeachment by the House would lead to a trial in the Senate, where a two-thirds vote is required in the Republican-controlled chamber to remove the president from office.

The public can see right through the bull Schiff and are getting tired of it. They are trying to do CPR on a dead horse.

For those not watching, Prof. Turley is doing a masterful job in his testimony.

Which essentially means that Democrats support it, Republicans and independents don't. Not lock, stock and barrel, but by and large.... which is why it likely goes nowhere.

They can get just as much (and maybe more) mileage out of their 'outrage' without alienating the middle even more.

It seems pretty simple to me. The railings of ORANGE MAN BAD have been screamed for 3 years with little to no change on public perception, but the echo chamber of the far left convinced them that everyone hates T-Rex as much as they do. Now they find out that's not true, and they need an out.

He should be a judge. He doesn't let his biases affect his interpretation of the law. Unlike the other 3.

completely disagree with "mileage" vs. the independents and 'outrage'....

that strategy will continue to bury dems....

this is why nancy & corp. are beginning to back down (to minimize damage control)

I remember many on this board who stated impeachment would happen by Xmas.....that was a laugh a minute...

I also remember I'm begging for the senate....ain' gonna happen unless they quintuple down on pure stupid....

if'n I could only bet on that one...I'd get shiTTTy odds, but I'd take 'em nonetheless...
