BTW,

A former Vice President linked to dubious behavior in the Ukraine?

LOL. 

Yeah, we can't possibly elect someone who is linked to dubious behavior re: Ukraine.  That would be crazy.
He may be your only choice.

We know he is yours.

The dubious (meaning criminal and impeachable) behavior in and around the Ukraine is all by trump and his goons.

The problem with any new dirt dug up on the Trump people is that every Dem candidate now needs to sound off on it - and before confirmed - running the risk of looking silly if rumor is debunked

Rock on with it.  Next we will hear Jared wielded the saw.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-11-03/trump-on-course-to-win-2020-re-election-if-economic-models-right

The electoral models are fallible. They have erred in some past presidential cycles and most don’t take account of non-economic influences such as scandals or policy which may come to the fore as Trump seeks another term.

They also assume the White House incumbent is credited with the economy’s performance which may not be the case if voters zero in on the effects of the trade war Trump is waging or relatively slow growth in middle class incomes.

“We stress that non-economic factors are likely to play an outsize role in this election, including policy and political developments (such as the impeachment inquiry) as well as factors like race, gender and ‘likability’," Gregory Daco and James Watson, economists at Oxford Economics, wrote in an October report.


For starters, whatever the past success of economy-only modeling in predicting past elections, we know this model has never dealt with an incumbent with a 40% approval rating.

Who is the candidate?

Don't know yet, REDSTATEWARD.  I know you exist in a WSJ bubble, but you should know the Democrats have not yet nominated a candidate.

Naturally, who that person will be matters.  But the point I was making stands:

What should "kill" everyone who loves this country is that the whistleblower, a hero whose vigilance in protecting democracy should be universally acclaimed by all patriots, must stay anonymous for fear of violent reprisal against his family and himself.


Thats not why he is anon.

Things look as rosy as can be inside the GOP’s coffin, according to RedWard.

Polling yesterday shows that the Democrats have a fight on their hands in some key battleground states, but the notion that they are desperate to impeach Trump because they feel like there is no way they can beat the least popular POTUS in the history of polling in an election is fucking hilarious.

Is he easier to beat than what might come in impeachment's aftermath?

Trump, the good neighbor

"This is the time for Mexico, with the help of the United States, to wage WAR on the drug cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth. We merely await a call from your great new president!" he added.

No dirt dug up on trump has ever been debunked. Dirt dug up on trump metastasizes and stinks and stains.

The piece in The Spectator was presented as speculative.  What "Dem candidate" has sounded off on it??  Who has said it was anything but speculation?  That it seems so plausible is a reflection of the character of this administration.
