What if, just like they never impeached Obama over Benghazi, the GOP didn't actually impeach Clinton over Lewinsky?

How?This is maybe enough to elect Gore in 2000.
people on here still think gore could have won despite OTL being best case scenario due to lewinsky energizing dems. if gore couldn't beat bush in electoral votes with THAT big thing, he couldn't beat him otherwise.How?
I would argue that without the pointless waste of political capital that was the Lewinsky scandal, that it's more likely for the Republicans to win in 2000.This is maybe enough to elect Gore in 2000.

Impeaching Clinton was a massive overreach on the part of the Republicans, rather than damaging him it mostly backfired on them by appearing partisan and–to a certain extent–petty. If they don't impeach him then it likely improves their position. Their best course of action would likely be passing a resolution of censure since IIRC it had been shown he'd committed perjury and been found in contempt of court during a civil lawsuit, later leading to him having his law license being suspended. There were a couple of attempts but again their terms overreached and the leadership seems to have put most of their energy into impeachment – a basic motion censuring him for perjury and bringing his office into disrepute might well have been achievable.What if, just like they never impeached Obama over Benghazi, the GOP didn't actually impeach Clinton over Lewinsky?
