One need only to have peeked into today’s impeachment hearings and caught Republicans lying and obfuscating and spouting completely nonsensical and debunked conspiracy theories all in the service of protecting an obviously corrupt and unqualified “president” to understand how bereft of credible leadership the GOP is right now.

I mean, they went out of their way to put in the guy who helped cover up sexual assaults on the Ohio State wrestling team. 
Might want to some research on that smear. If you are going to attack the messenger it helps to get your facts straight.

Not one candidate has called for the immediate end of fossil fuels.

Not one has proposed general seizure of guns from homes.

Only one, never a serious contender, had advocated the GBI.

I assume the seizure of guns from homes thing was brought on from Beto O'Rourke's statement that he would seize Ak-15s.  One statement in a debate, and now all candidates want to seize guns.  And beyond that hyperbole, shame on Rahm for also repeating the overheated rhetoric on the Green New Deal.

Usual stuff you get in the early days of a primary, with people asking if the candidates that are competing for the attention of their party's base are going to be able to tack to the center to appeal to moderates in swing states. 

Me, I'll take the above over the party with candidates who deny evolution, want to cut so many government agencies they can't remember their name or what they are for, or who announce their candidacy by calling Mexican immigrants rapists...

Oh, but on that last one no one asked if he would tack to the center, did they.  Nor has he once elected.  But strange how the media don't ask if his positions are too "extreme"...

There have been so many allegations against Jordan's conduct at Ohio State that I know it can be hard to keep them all straight, but surely you can at least follow the latest one:

Republicans Yesterday:  President Trump is really really concerned about corruption, you guys.  Really.  He is so against corruption, you wouldn't believe it.

"president" Trump Today:  I'm a big fan of President Erdogan!

...whoops.

On top of being another data point that connects Trump directly to the Ukraine Extortion attempt, it turns out the call to him from Sondland was also a stunning breach of security protocol:

“The security ramifications are insane — using an open cellphone to communicate with the president of the United States,” said Larry Pfeiffer, a former senior director of the White House Situation Room and a former chief of staff to the CIA director. “In a country that is so wired with Russian intelligence, you can almost take it to the bank that the Russians were listening in on the call.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/ambassadors-cellphone-call-to-trump-from-kyiv-restaurant-was-a-stunning-breach-of-security-former-officials-say/2019/11/13/37d75752-0641-11ea-b17d-8b867891d39d_story.html

And we all know how important security protocol is to Republicans!

Tim Ryan has endorsed Biden. No information yet on whether his supporter will follow his lead.
