Ghandi could have been elected to the us and world war 1 would have still happened because Europe 1914 had literally nothing to do with the US. Princip is still killing Franz Ferdinand regardless of an election in 1912. The treaty of Versailles had nothing to do with Wilson. Dude do you need me to send you a few books on world war 1?
I ve been voting blue since 1996 so I don’t understand this blind alliegiance to the Democratic Party. It is ok to criticize and give to suggestions to where the party should go.
Do you think the Iraq war happens too under a Gore Administration? Or 9/11? Or the Medicaid donut hole?
Wait - so you think 9/11 doesn’t happen during Gore? What about the WTC bombing during Clinton? What was magical about Gore?
Maybe he would have reacted and acted differently had he read the PDB that warned of an attack utilizing commercial airlines. But we’ll never know because of those Nader voters.
stop blaming Nader. Gore couldn't carry his home state of Tennessee and 200,000 dems voted against him in florida.
Might as well blame that Edward Louis Severson fella because he told me on 8.23.2000 to vote for Nader.
I was 16 at the time, didn't follow politics, and only knew of Nader through Pearl Jam, which led to this conversation with my father:
Me: Are you going to vote for Ralph Nader? Dad: Of course not. Only idiots would vote for him. Me: Pearl Jam's voting for him. Dad: Exactly
I knew I was in a solid blue state so it was like being a free agent voter. But voters in florida voted for Nader anyway.
But that didnt stop my dad from laughing at me when Bush was inaugurated.
I cant say elected because technically that did not happen.
We just have to thank all those florida districts heavily populated with senior citizens and Jewish voters that went heavily for Pat Buchanon.

I think I’m about done with all these fucking clowns. Why do dems keep pushing Trump from the right on things like Syria, Russia ect. All this tough talk on Russia is concerning. “What, you gonna start another war?” Things just seem really hypocritical depending on what party is in office. It’s all about getting elected then re-elected and serving those who bankrolled the campaign.

Syria and Russia is not a right wing issue. It's an issue of whether you believe the US 1. Should deploy force for strategic interests 2. Should deploy force for humanitarian issues 3. Believe the US has a leadership role on the world stage. The opposing view is not left, it's isolationist. That's really what it's about, internationalism vs isolationist.

Literally a foreign policy standard that has served us well from 1945. It's really disgusting on so many levels. Now Iraq was a different story. That was never a security issue for us. It was a security issue for Israel, with a bonus of oil.

I understand, but still am very conflicted personally, I suppose. So say that the dems do take power, then what? IDK, probably way to complicated for me. I want to think we are all over the world for the right reasons, which you gave some examples of, but I think if I’m being honest with myself, it’s all about money and power whatever.

Did Obama believe what he was saying in the debates against Romney when he said, ““The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.” Maybe he was taking a speak softly but carry a big stick approach. Probably not a good idea for President to be blabbering confrontational rhetoric towards another nation during a debate. It’s frustrating because it seems like if your a pacifist, anti-war, or against regime change wars, you’re now labeled as some sort of Russian asset or Putin sympathizer.

Putin had just assumed the president position in 2012. Russia was weak at the time. In retrospect, it was a bad statement and Romney was closer to bre correct. But the administration quickly corrected course when they realized the aggressive expansionism Russia was undertaking.

Thanks for responding to some of my concerns. How do you think this plays out? I see a few different scenarios happening. I’m worried most about Impeachment with no removal and a re-election. Best case impeached,and removed from office and dems win. I’m skeptical.

I'd say maybe 20% chance at removal. But they have to do it. You can't let this go even if he's not convicted. Plus maybe it stops him from doing it again for a while

The timing of all this is very complicated. I see Mitch saying” let the election decide,”just like they stole our Supreme Court pick. I wonder sometimes if impeachment would now be better saved as a tool in the second term if he happens to win, although I’m sure we’ll be having on going investigations regardless. Things could get worse. They are going to get worse.

You can’t wait, not with something so public. Plus he is out of defenses. He said he didn’t do it, but clearly he did. But I think they need to wrap it up early next year. But I think this damages Trump, if he keeps playing it the same, without a conviction but with a majority. This is not like Clinton who apologized to the nation.
This not only damages Trump, this damages republican senators in possible swing states. There is now a possibility of the democrats taking back senate. Get those senators on record voting to let Trump off the hook.

Absolutely. Good call. 50/50 chance right now, and improving.
If you’re convicted in Senate, is that like being convicted of a crime? It only makes sense that the guilty party would be arrested. They committed a crime, they get arrested. That’s how it works, no? Lol, a guy can dream can’t he?

No, there would not be criminal charges in the senate. Only whether Team Trump Treason is guilty of the impeachment charges and if so, what should be the penalty, from censure to removal of office. However, there is no double jeopardy so once removed from office or out of office, criminal charges can be filed and Team Trump Treason can be brought to trial. NY State AG and SDNY AGs are still investigating. A lot.
We would need like around 20 Republican Senators. Seems unlikely. Trump gonna fight for his life, best scenario would be Nixon route. Resign and let’s have a nice peaceful transition of power and we all hug it out and move on.

Agreed. If it becomes politically dangerous enough for the Trump-Republican alliance to exist, I think one by one the lawmakers who previously blindly lent their support to Trump will quietly retreat and he'll be left isolated. Even if not enough Senate seats are won, I'm curious about something that closer poll-watchers may be able to answer better.
I wonder if people do form voting opinions at least to some degree based on the 'surges' and 'dips' they observe. Psychologically it would make sense to me that a candidate's "electability" scores would increase at faster rates when they show recent surges, and decrease at faster rates when they show recent dips (aka the bandwagon effect).

I don’t see enough Senators supporting removal from office. We are a year out from the election. They are going to go against Trump in an election year? I doubt it. See Mitt Romney. No way any senator wants to deal with a Trump onslaught during an election year. Maybe safe for a Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, but gonna have a hard time moving a senator in a red state. Let’s say trial gets pushed to his second term. They gonna vote to remove a president after he was just re-elected?

The trial will be before the election. Most believe that there is no way 67 senators vote to remove.
But that's before having the evidence presented. It sounds like the dems are doing this smart. They are giving the minority the right to call witnesses and cross examine. They are not using the standard 5 minute hearing rule. There will be time for extended questioning for key details. They are allowing the trained attorneys on staff have the opportunity to question.
All of this gives the appearance of a trial in the House and gives the president ample opportunity to establish a defense BEFORE this goes to the Senate. There is talk of having this in prime time so we can all watch live on tv.
Now consider if the evidence is overwhelming, and trump is charged with bribery and extortion (explicitly stated as impeachable per the constitution), and the democrats provide over a month of sworn testimony and White House documents as evidence
Are you certain 20 R senators (upwards of 7 in swing states) dont get in a room and say...
"If we hold hands and vote no together we can end this nightmare and roll our chances with Pence."

How certain are you that's not realistic?
Some thoughts... 1. I would like it if the House was able to hold back the trial past the deadline for primary registration. This would serve to protect vulnerable senators on the R side from a challenge, perhaps giving them license to vote more freely. I don't know when the deadlines are, but I also don't think my idea is practical,. because then it drags into Iowa and NH, which hurts Dem senators campaigning. 2. Trump is tying support to money, smartly. He's going to juice Gardner, Ernst and others senate coffers which they need. I think these three are going to be "no". Interestingly, he's not doing this for Collins and McSalley, both are very vulnerable. 3. Agree on your point of using trained prosecutors for the House. I think this helps remove the clown show aspect of hearings. It will be interesting if the President sends lawyers or if they rely on Meadows, Jordan, Nunes and other hacks to 'cross'.
That's a good point on the primary deadlines. I think they are usually late Feb so it'll be interesting if Pelosi decides if its important enough to delay the House vote as much as possible so the senate does not get the case until Feb.
Then McConnell has an interesting choice as well. Does he rush the vote to occur before primary deadlines to maximize trump's leverage or will he be loyal to senators and help them avoid a tough primary campaign.
There are perhaps 10 GOP senate elections in states where trump is not very popular. It's not the 20 senate votes needed, but if over 55 senators vote to remove that might be a big black stain on trump heading into the general election.
Edit,
Forgot to mention Iowa.
Trump may want to be be careful with Ernst's seat. Trump is -12 in Iowa.
saw a clip of booker on the view today, being badgered by that turd megan mccain about mandatory gun buybacks. "are you coming to my brother's house to take his ar-15's? cause i guarantee you he isn't giving them up". booked did well. he called her out for calling beto crazy, and also the hysteria she is spreading about the government coming to your house to take your guns. it is mandatory, but you bring it in and give it up. simple. they did it in the 80's with machine guns, and it worked. no reason it can't work now.
then she goes on twitter to say he dodged her question, 'at least beto is being honest when he says they are going to come for our guns". he fucking answered it point blank. god that woman is a waste of breath.

I knew I was in a solid blue state so it was like being a free agent voter. But voters in florida voted for Nader anyway.
But that didnt stop my dad from laughing at me when Bush was inaugurated.
I cant say elected because technically that did not happen.
We just have to thank all those florida districts heavily populated with senior citizens and Jewish voters that went heavily for Pat Buchanon.

Things just seem really hypocritical depending on what party is in office. It’s all about getting elected then re-elected and serving those who bankrolled the campaign.

It’s frustrating because it seems like if your a pacifist, anti-war, or against regime change wars, you’re now labeled as some sort of Russian asset or Putin sympathizer.

How do you think this plays out? I see a few different scenarios happening. I’m worried most about Impeachment with no removal and a re-election. Best case impeached,and removed from office and dems win. I’m skeptical.

I wonder if people do form voting opinions at least to some degree based on the 'surges' and 'dips' they observe. Psychologically it would make sense to me that a candidate's "electability" scores would increase at faster rates when they show recent surges, and decrease at faster rates when they show recent dips (aka the bandwagon effect).

The trial will be before the election. Most believe that there is no way 67 senators vote to remove.
But that's before having the evidence presented. It sounds like the dems are doing this smart. They are giving the minority the right to call witnesses and cross examine. They are not using the standard 5 minute hearing rule. There will be time for extended questioning for key details. They are allowing the trained attorneys on staff have the opportunity to question.
All of this gives the appearance of a trial in the House and gives the president ample opportunity to establish a defense BEFORE this goes to the Senate. There is talk of having this in prime time so we can all watch live on tv.
Now consider if the evidence is overwhelming, and trump is charged with bribery and extortion (explicitly stated as impeachable per the constitution), and the democrats provide over a month of sworn testimony and White House documents as evidence
Are you certain 20 R senators (upwards of 7 in swing states) dont get in a room and say...
"If we hold hands and vote no together we can end this nightmare and roll our chances with Pence."
How certain are you that's not realistic?
1. I would like it if the House was able to hold back the trial past the deadline for primary registration. This would serve to protect vulnerable senators on the R side from a challenge, perhaps giving them license to vote more freely. I don't know when the deadlines are, but I also don't think my idea is practical,. because then it drags into Iowa and NH, which hurts Dem senators campaigning.
2. Trump is tying support to money, smartly. He's going to juice Gardner, Ernst and others senate coffers which they need. I think these three are going to be "no". Interestingly, he's not doing this for Collins and McSalley, both are very vulnerable.
3. Agree on your point of using trained prosecutors for the House. I think this helps remove the clown show aspect of hearings. It will be interesting if the President sends lawyers or if they rely on Meadows, Jordan, Nunes and other hacks to 'cross'.
Then McConnell has an interesting choice as well. Does he rush the vote to occur before primary deadlines to maximize trump's leverage or will he be loyal to senators and help them avoid a tough primary campaign.
There are perhaps 10 GOP senate elections in states where trump is not very popular. It's not the 20 senate votes needed, but if over 55 senators vote to remove that might be a big black stain on trump heading into the general election.
Edit,
Forgot to mention Iowa.
Trump may want to be be careful with Ernst's seat. Trump is -12 in Iowa.
then she goes on twitter to say he dodged her question, 'at least beto is being honest when he says they are going to come for our guns". he fucking answered it point blank. god that woman is a waste of breath.
