Maloney defeated Republican incumbent Nan Hayworth back in 2012, running as a moderate Democrat. Some Democratic members of the House, particularly those who recently flipped seats, could anger voters in their districts by voting for impeachment, potentially harming their re-election bids.
Politico first reported Tuesday that about 10 Democratic lawmakers had brought up the possibility of censuring the president and foregoing impeachment altogether. A lawmaker involved with those discussions later confirmed the report to Newsweek.
Several of the more vulnerable Democrats told Newsweek on Tuesday that they had not yet made up their mind as to how they would vote on the formal articles of impeachment issued by the House Judiciary Committee.
"I'm not going to be pushed one way or another," Representative Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, a former CIA analyst, said. "I have lots of people lobbying me, but I'm going to do what I was trained to do as national security professional and as an intelligence officer, which is make my own decision based on what I think is right."

Yeah, push ‘em into that corner and make ‘em choose.
“Man” is rassist or something anyway...
at this late date, what with all the embarrassing bullkrap for so many months in Congress.... it doesn’t matter much how the end it
obviously, the smarter ones would like to find a way out, to try keeping the D party from total and complete suicide
trouble is, dropping it will require some sort of clever cover story... and they’ve made such big fools of themselves they haven’t been able to come up with one
Political theater. Dems will let some vote against to provide them an excuse to run on back home. They will make sure they have enough votes. GOP simply needs to remind voters these lying scum voted to authorize this clown show to start and are merely trying to cover it up now
sounds like the Dems have a vote shortage
What a DISASTER.
It’s like they have NO CLUE as to the pulse of the country right now.
Just wow.
>>>”I have lots of people lobbying me, but I’m going to do what I was trained to do as national security professional and as an intelligence officer, which is make my own decision based on what I think is right.”<<<
Translated into English that would be “I am going to go with my emotions. I hate Trump, therefore he is guilty as charged, whatever that might be.”
Self-preservation. Finger, meet wind........
I don’t think so. They’re all terrified of Pelosi. They’ll vote for it.
I’ve come up with a way to shut the mouth of a libtard. Just say with all sincerity “I was going to ask your opinion about”(insert whatever conversation tidbit you choose- in my case it was new dining furniture) “BUT then I remembered you put BETO signs in your front yard, and...well...”
They need to see how their opinions are ludicrous and who would possibly listen to anything of importance.
A pitchfork parade with a few dozen asphalt trucks and some Purdue Chicken semis with plucking leftovers may convince some to relax their obsession...not a gun in sight.
I don’t want Trump censured he deserves to be exonerated by the Senate period end of conversation!!!
AMEN! I want him to be able to PUT UP and then I want them to STFU! I want them to wail and gnash and grovel and beg. And I want PDJT to poke them with a stick just to see them squirm. I could go on but I’m sure you know!
Well.. those so-called “moderates” backed themselves into a corner by voting for the inquiry. So, screw ‘em. Enjoy the ship sinking, rats!
I think it’s really nice of the younger Democrat politicians to be willing to throw away their future to try and coverup the criminal actions of the old Democrat leaders.
Suicide voters. Blowing the democrat party yo non-existence.
The rabid insane base is not about to settle for censure. They want to hang the impeached sign on Trump’s neck so bad it hurts. I just hope we can reward them by taking the house back, eleven months is a long time.
” I’m going to do what I was trained to do as national security professional and as an intelligence officer, which is make my own decision based on what I think is right.”
Representative government.
President Trump did nothing wrong, so:
NO IMPEACHMENT
NO CENSURE!
Dims are cowards, but they always come up with SOLUTIONS that are not really solutions, but just a way to make fools of us all.
CENSURE IS OFF THE TABLE, JERKS.
Just MOVE ON, for Heaven’s sake.
Actually, what you are supposed to do it be representing the wishes of the majority of your constituents.
