I’d bet Money Mike has more cash on hand than the West Virginia coal industry at this point. It should be a fun scuffle.

Trump really wants to be removed from office. His Stephanopoulos interview goes right along side the Lester Holt interview and various public blowjobs he has given Putin, right below his “Russia, if you’re listening” panhandle in the constellation of evidence he committed espionage and continuously violates his oath of office.

He deserves branding and mutilation. He knows he deserves branding and mutilation for his crimes. He’s working hard to convince America to give him the kind of rough justice he deserves.

Frum is right. Trump has got to go.

Also faking bone spurs was unnecessary. He was already a prime candidate for section 8.

I really dont think any of you are behind Biden so point is moot here.  I think you will be working to present another candidate
I'm "behind" anybody who can beat Trump.

While I wouldn’t endorse it as the message for any one candidate (see Warren slowly moving up the polling on the basis of strong policy proposals) you cant deny that this will be THE dynamic of 2020, and why a relative little known candidate with zero cable presence like Corey Booker can beat Trump by five points in a national head-to-head poll right now.
Yep.  And if I can add another cliché to the mix, Democrats can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good (or even the "okay") in the general election.   I thought HRC was a mediocre candidate (not because I disagreed with her policies, but because she has never been good at defining herself),  and while that didn't stop me for voting for her, I believe, unfortunately, that the perceived mediocrity stopped a goodly amount of people from doing the same..

Clinton was, as we’ve said before, a perfect candidate for President who was terrible at being a candidate for President.  Everything she told America about Trump was true, that he was dangerously unqualified, ignorant and incurious about policy, and inappropriately beholden to Russian interests.  But she lacked the fire and inspiration to get people to listen.  Now Americans have had two and a half years of a Trump Administration and that message has gotten through.  Which is another reason why kiidcarter8’s argument of “look at how much ground Trump made up in 2016” doesn’t hold up.  The con job Trump implemented can’t work four years later because Americans know now who he is, what kind of President he would be.  If the Rasmussen polling was right, this wouldn’t be a big problem for him going in to 2020.

It isn’t.

The kind of PRESIDENT Trump is is offsetting the kind of PERSON he is - and this is why he has a chance at re-election.

He has a better chance of stroking out after he is impeached but not brought to trial in the Senate.
All the shit will be out there. The walls are closing in and you’re seriously talking re-election?

If the good dear lord does smite the sumbitch it won’t stop the investigative hearings and Mike Pence is on deck with an 0-2 count before he gets to the plate.

There’s a storm coming and you Republicans are gonna have to decide if you’re Americans or nah.
You’re gonna have to decide if you’re gonna put on that brown shirt in your closet.

Achtung, bitches...

A storm?


Not sure what you mean.  If the Dem wins, he/she wins.    And we move on.

How a President would treat the question, not a “President.”

Question:  Isn’t it on the beneficiary of Russian interference to come out and say publicly “I don’t want the help, its counter to our democratic interests, and I will in no way use or reference material stolen by Russia, or reward their meddling once in office.”

Any other US Government employee would lose their security clearance. But Trump is our “President” and kiidcarter8 couldn’t be happier living in his “democracy.”

  “There’s nothing wrong with listening,” he told George Stephanopoulos. “If somebody called from a country, Norway, ‘We have information on your opponent,’ I think I’d want to hear it.”
   

Norway?  That's your example?   The odds of Norway calling with such an offer are somewhere below the odds of the Earth colliding with an Earth-sized Yorkshire Pudding.

Frum is right; it's like Trump is publicly jeering at our laws and constitution, demanding we impeach him.
