ren hoek 4,995 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 https://twitter.com/joshjame I asked Warren if Hunter Biden’s position at Burisma was appropriate. "I know that everyone wants to try to drag in other people. But what happened with Ukraine is about Donald Trump," she said in an interview. Updated story w/ @KThomasDC @SabrinaSiddiqui Matt Stoller @matthewstoller It’s a bad answer and Warren knows it, but Democratic voters will not tolerate anyone who points out their own side has corruption problems. it is also an answer consistent with how every single Democrat and left winger from 2009 onward, including Bernie, treated nearly all aspects of the Obama franchise.

Caught up in the Nats late season surge? Lots of stuff going on, but also just felt like I wanted a bit of a break from the forum, although I've lurked a bit when bored. But I'm just really tired of the trolls, and I suppose also the people who are so bigoted and/or ignorant that they've blurred the line between trolling and genuine awfulness. Also kinda frustrated with the mods after various disagreements, and didn't want to be one of those people who stick around but whines constantly about the moderation. Decided to post on this particular subject because I think the forum is a good place to get a read on engaged moderate Dems/independents, and I was curious how they were responding to the Warren pregnancy thing. Anyway, there's no "inside baseball" stuff I can offer at this point that hasn't already been widely reported. The 30ish GOP Senators who would to impeach if the vote was anonymous, the vague feeling among political types on both sides of the aisle that this scandal may be different because it's so easily understood after the collusion mess and because it's just a standard issue mob-style shakedown, the distinct possibility that the Ukraine stuff is just the tip of the iceberg bc the "code word" server treatment of calls not involving high level covert ops is so utterly bizarre, etc etc etc. Hope all is well with you and the rest of the mostly wonderful people in this forum.

This is why we keep getting the same policies over and over again- the wars never end, everything gets worse, money and power concentrate ever upwardly.

I have never worked toward the end of that outlook because, just as Democracy can't work if the populace aint ready for it, Americans themselves simply arent psychologically evolved enough to set aside our old conventions.

I don't think we have heard from the other minor candidates, but their numbers won't matter in the big scheme of things. One other anecdote on fundraising, that I saw this morning - One detail on Biden’s fundraising: 38% of the money he raised in his first two months came from 2,800 people who are maxed out and can’t give to him again in the primary. Biden is not well positioned to continue to go after small money donors, and many of his deep pockets are already maxed out. ON top of everything else - this is not good news for the Biden camp. Despite what the polls are saying - I still think this is shaping up as Warren v. Buttigieg. Both candidates have money to burn, room to grow, and well-organized campaigns. I saw this last night - and if you are a Biden supporter - this should worry you: NEW: Biden's cash on hand is just under $9 million. In comparison: Sanders: $33.7 million on hand Warren: $25.7 million on hand Buttigieg: $23.4 million on hand Harris: $10.5 million on hand Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Norman Paperman 472 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Impeachment Monkey Wrench? WASHINGTON — An impeachment trial in the Senate would be a massive threat to President Trump, but it could also cripple — or boost — the campaigns of a half dozen Democrats vying to beat him. A House vote to impeach the president seems overwhelmingly likely, as his administration refuses to cooperate with the House impeachment inquiry. That would kick impeachment to a trial in the Senate as soon as late November. An impeachment trial would consume every senator’s schedule. Under the Senate’s current rules, all senators must be in session Monday through Saturday, starting at around noon each day. The trial may last several weeks — Bill Clinton’s impeachment trial lasted five — thus taking several candidates off the campaign trail the month before the primaries start. That’s a major problem for the six senators running to be the Democratic nominee for president — Cory Booker, Michael Bennet, Kamala Harris, Amy Klobuchar, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren. I think this probably cuts both ways - for the Senators involved it underscores their leadership positions in government already. I think in reality, it could be the knockout blow for Klobuchar and Booker who are already teetering on the edge. But, I would expect Warren and Sanders to get creative - and stay active in the early states with things like on-line town hall meetings. Buttigieg, more than Biden, could benefit as Buttigieg is already building a strategy around retail politics in Iowa and New Hampshire. So, he could be barnstorming the early states to build support while Sanders and Warren are stuck in DC Monday - Saturday. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, if Trump is removed it is only because public opinion has swayed so far that republican senators have no choice.
