Democrats could get Republican votes if they censured Trump for his attempts to link political investigations to Ukraine aid and an Oval Office visit, writes former White House spokesman AriFleischer in usatodayopinion

Ari FleischerIf the Democrats' drive to impeach and convict President Donald Trump is going to be successful, they need to persuade Republicans who have misgivings about the president to support their bid to remove him from office.I know, because I’m one of those Republicans. I voted against Trump in the primary and left my ballot blank in the general.

When a politician calls for an investigation of a political opponent, he or she does not seek a blind outcome. A preferred outcome is sought. Of course he did. He said so in his “perfect” July 25 phone call. He also, unwisely, publicly called on China to do the same. He once, also unwisely, publicly called on Russia to release Hillary Clinton’s emails if it had them.

In football terms, Trump deserves a flag for a false start, or maybe unnecessary roughness. But the Democrats want to add up all the penalty flags Trump has earned in three years of his presidency, and they see the Ukrainian phone call as incontrovertible proof that the president should be thrown out of the game.Drop impeachment, censure Trump
