I believe she was widely condemned by both sides, investigated by the Secret Service and has since been ostracized and blown away inot the dustbin of history. In fact, I don't even recall her name and haven't seen nor heard of her since. If that had been a Team Trump Treason supporter with Obama's head, she would have been made SOS or VP.
Okay so you were supportive of fellow liberals holding her accountable because what she did was wrong, even though the Republican's house isn't in order? Or were you against condemning her because some lady has a sign outside Mar A Lago?
Yes, but my point being, the repubs will never get their house in order. Its too effective for them.

Which is it? Is President Donald Trump an unfit character potentially implicated in multiple crimes? Or is the evidence against him so thin that the future of his presidency properly should be determined in the next election? As it is on a lot of things, the Democrats’ message is jumbled on the question of impeachment.
Leaders within the Democratic Party, including House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California, have suggested that the evidence against Trump is so obvious and strong that impeachment proceedings will just be a formality. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told The Washington Post that impeaching the president is "just not worth it." Does Pelosi think going forward with impeachment is elective? There are either high crimes and misdemeanors, or there are not high crimes and misdemeanors. Impeachment is not optional.
I am against impeachment. But the Democrats are so rattled by the president that they do not see the hypocrisy in their position. They have a constitutional responsibility to act if they believe they have the evidence. Aren’t there supposed to be mounds and mounds of evidence against Trump? Democrats should follow the evidence, follow procedure, meet the burden of proof and respect that everyone, including the president, is innocent until proven guilty. What’s keeping them? Now is their time.
Do the Democrats think that forgoing impeachment will prove to be a shrewd political maneuver? Is being shrewd really in the country's best interest if they think the president is guilty? Do the voters who elected them want them to finesse impeachment? Do Democrats in Congress really think it will be better for them politically not to impeach if they think the case for Trump's guilt is strong?
Today, most Americans - 54 percent, according to a Monmouth University poll - do not support impeachment. Nonetheless, in the weeks ahead, I suspect we will see all the wannabe Democratic nominees for president declare that Trump is an unfit, grotesque criminal who needs to be impeached. How is it their colleagues in Congress won’t say the same?
Again, the Democrats are obsessed with Trump. But in their mad rush to exclaim not just disgust for the president but also zeal for removing him from office, they have stumbled at the impeachment choke point. So which is it? You cannot have it both ways. They took an oath to defend the Constitution, and the Constitution is clear regarding what to do with a president who is alleged to have committed high crimes and misdemeanors.

Haha, says the guy that sees him stealing Democratic votes. His campaign is dead. I think a lot of people yearn for the normalcy of Biden. I know I do. Let's set things back to square and then can implement some progressive ideas, like universal healthcare, but not breaking up tech companies because we don't like rich guys. It's interesting that Warren didn't single out Apple when they are much more active in mixing platform with product than Amazon.

Biden will not get the support of his party. I had hopes for Hickenlooper but his answer on whether he is a capitalist was pathetic. It shows where the base is. I don't see how Biden pulls it out. It's Bernie's party now.
There is an argument to be made that playing by the rules makes you a loser. Republicans gave up on the rules years ago and continue to win where it matters. Democrats can hang their hat on their high morals and will probably still lose. Historically the whole political spectrum in the US has been shifted right. The right is winning the war by playing dirty.
The argument is that you can't win against a moraly corrupt GOP if you continue to play by the rules and expect them to meet you halfway. All while the left continues to eat its own over petty stuff. I totally understand what Halifax is saying.

But who cares? Lock him up and throw away the key. Give him leniency. Again...who cares? It seems like any interest in this is all about just making yourselves feel better. "Yay...Manafort got a big sentence!"...for something that has zero to do with Trump. I'm for whatever the judge decides because in the grand scheme of things it is totally irrelevant. It means nothing with respect to Trump.

So far Biden leads in Iowa and Michigan, two statewide polls that have been released. And both are after Bernie announced. Bernie is the 2nd. So while you may be right, current evidence doesn't support it. The worst case scenario for the Democrats is for this to be a battle between capitalism and socialism ideas. That's a loser every time. It must be a referendum on Trump.

I think it has to be more than that. Every politician running against an incumbent has made the argument of "look how bad the incumbent is," which is a sound-enough, ageless strategy. But in 2016, when he wasn't an incumbent, the left's most popular argument seemed to be "look how awful Trump is." That's fair enough because he is awful. But what are they going to say in 2020? "See? Told ya."?

This is not a bad place to be for Biden but in a field this large he cannot lose his soft support to any of the other candidates. Bernie's support is strong and enduring and in a crowded field he will likely have the enthusiasm needed to come out on top.

It will be results based. If they feel on election day that they are for the most part getting the results they were promised then they will vote for him again.

I think he's helped by the large field, between NH/IA and into the deep primaries.

I agree that Bernie has more passionate supporters but I don't know if that means more supporters. Remember at the end of the day, Hillary garnered far more votes than him in the primary.

You're talking about the echo chambers on both sides. I'm talking about winning the middle. I don't think one swing or disengaged voter cared about a tan suit. No one in their echo chambers is changing their mind.
That's why it's time for Schultz-A-Mania!
Haha, says the guy that sees him stealing Democratic votes. His campaign is dead. I think a lot of people yearn for the normalcy of Biden. I know I do. Let's set things back to square and then can implement some progressive ideas, like universal healthcare, but not breaking up tech companies because we don't like rich guys. It's interesting that Warren didn't single out Apple when they are much more active in mixing platform with product than Amazon.
Biden will not get the support of his party. I had hopes for Hickenlooper but his answer on whether he is a capitalist was pathetic. It shows where the base is. I don't see how Biden pulls it out. It's Bernie's party now.
So far Biden leads in Iowa and Michigan, two statewide polls that have been released. And both are after Bernie announced. Bernie is the 2nd. So while you may be right, current evidence doesn't support it. The worst case scenario for the Democrats is for this to be a battle between capitalism and socialism ideas. That's a loser every time. It must be a referendum on Trump.
I think it has to be more than that. Every politician running against an incumbent has made the argument of "look how bad the incumbent is," which is a sound-enough, ageless strategy. But in 2016, when he wasn't an incumbent, the left's most popular argument seemed to be "look how awful Trump is." That's fair enough because he is awful. But what are they going to say in 2020? "See? Told ya."?
That strategy worked like a champ last November. And Trump has done nothing to tack to the middle since then. He's shut down the gov't for no reason whatsoever and now declared this emergency. So I do think it's an effective strategy, far more than the Green New Deal in the general election.
There is an argument to be made that playing by the rules makes you a loser. Republicans gave up on the rules years ago and continue to win where it matters. Democrats can hang their hat on their high morals and will probably still lose. Historically the whole political spectrum in the US has been shifted right. The right is winning the war by playing dirty.
The argument is that you can't win against a moraly corrupt GOP if you continue to play by the rules and expect them to meet you halfway. All while the left continues to eat its own over petty stuff. I totally understand what Halifax is saying.
The Lisa Page testimony just released yesterday says that the Obama DOJ overruled the FBI on charging Hillary. So who exactly is playing by the rules?

Ask for psycho dems and you shall receive.
I believe she was widely condemned by both sides, investigated by the Secret Service and has since been ostracized and blown away inot the dustbin of history. In fact, I don't even recall her name and haven't seen nor heard of her since. If that had been a Team Trump Treason supporter with Obama's head, she would have been made SOS or VP.
Okay so you were supportive of fellow liberals holding her accountable because what she did was wrong, even though the Republican's house isn't in order? Or were you against condemning her because some lady has a sign outside Mar A Lago?
Yes, but my point being, the repubs will never get their house in order. Its too effective for them. Meanwhile, us libs will continue to have it shoved up our ass, all the while being told to be "more civil." Again, I'm more than happy to meet half way but I need to see movement on the right. The left moves all the time and tries to build bridges and coalitions and solicits cooperation. And what do we get for our efforts? More ridicule, demonization and denigration. The problem isn't biggest on, or with, the left. Were leftiies standing outside Obama's motorcade with signs ridiculing repubs/conservatives?

I think Biden and Bernie are 1 and 2 out of name recognition at this early stage. My feeling is that Bernie has far more committed backers while Biden's support is softer and out of nostalgia. This is not a bad place to be for Biden but in a field this large he cannot lose his soft support to any of the other candidates. Bernie's support is strong and enduring and in a crowded field he will likely have the enthusiasm needed to come out on top.
I think he's helped by the large field, between NH/IA and into the deep primaries. It will be interesting when the field thins out and those are the two that are standing, plus maybe one more that is well financed. I agree that Bernie has more passionate supporters but I don't know if that means more supporters. Remember at the end of the day, Hillary garnered far more votes than him in the primary.
Very true but no super delegates this time around. It will be very interesting. I think if Beto gets in it hurts Bernie which should clear the path for Biden.

Democrats are hypocrites on impeachment | Opinion
Which is it? Is President Donald Trump an unfit character potentially implicated in multiple crimes? Or is the evidence against him so thin that the future of his presidency properly should be determined in the next election? As it is on a lot of things, the Democrats’ message is jumbled on the question of impeachment.
Leaders within the Democratic Party, including House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff of California, have suggested that the evidence against Trump is so obvious and strong that impeachment proceedings will just be a formality. But House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., told The Washington Post that impeaching the president is "just not worth it." Does Pelosi think going forward with impeachment is elective? There are either high crimes and misdemeanors, or there are not high crimes and misdemeanors. Impeachment is not optional.I am against impeachment. But the Democrats are so rattled by the president that they do not see the hypocrisy in their position. They have a constitutional responsibility to act if they believe they have the evidence. Aren’t there supposed to be mounds and mounds of evidence against Trump? Democrats should follow the evidence, follow procedure, meet the burden of proof and respect that everyone, including the president, is innocent until proven guilty. What’s keeping them? Now is their time.
Do the Democrats think that forgoing impeachment will prove to be a shrewd political maneuver? Is being shrewd really in the country's best interest if they think the president is guilty? Do the voters who elected them want them to finesse impeachment? Do Democrats in Congress really think it will be better for them politically not to impeach if they think the case for Trump's guilt is strong?
Today, most Americans - 54 percent, according to a Monmouth University poll - do not support impeachment. Nonetheless, in the weeks ahead, I suspect we will see all the wannabe Democratic nominees for president declare that Trump is an unfit, grotesque criminal who needs to be impeached. How is it their colleagues in Congress won’t say the same?
Again, the Democrats are obsessed with Trump. But in their mad rush to exclaim not just disgust for the president but also zeal for removing him from office, they have stumbled at the impeachment choke point. So which is it? You cannot have it both ways. They took an oath to defend the Constitution, and the Constitution is clear regarding what to do with a president who is alleged to have committed high crimes and misdemeanors.
The argument is that you can't win against a moraly corrupt GOP if you continue to play by the rules and expect them to meet you halfway. All while the left continues to eat its own over petty stuff. I totally understand what Halifax is saying.
Impeach the FASCIST already.

So much for the 10 additional years on his initial sentence.
