Ready The Clown Car: The First Batch of Democrats Are Ready To Announce Their 2020 Bids

Clinton was impeached for lying under oath to a grand jury. Regardless of what the House does, there is no way this gets 67 votes in the Senate.

Practically (politically) speaking, as you say, this is a stupidly foolish vendetta that Congressional Democrats are pursuing. Nothing good will come out of this for them, practically speaking. And they could well lose the House in 2020, in no small part because of this act of emotionally motivated political excess.

Tulsi Gabbard appears to understand this. Most of the rest of the Democrats, maybe no so much.

 

I am an independent, not a Republican. I am think of myself as a Christian conservative American. While some people are confused about what it means to be conservative, what that means to me is that our government should be conducted effectively, responsibly, efficiently, with respect for our constitution and our laws, and also our national integrity. It means that we should apply laws even-handedly, with no special regard for skin color or other "racial" factors, or that sort of thing (No "Identity politics" or "Political correctness"). It also means that our fundamental rights contained in the Bill of Rights should be protected at all costs.

I do not believe that there are any Democrats running at any level that support this perspective. So for that reason, I will not be considering any Democrats this time around. There are also more than a few Republicans who do not support my views. In the future, however, if the candidates who promote, defend and support my values start calling themselves Democrats, then at that point, I will vote for Democrats. Until then, I will vote for whoever will do the best job of advocating for and supporting the values that I hold dear.

I did not vote for Trump in 2016, in part because of his behavior towards the other Republican candidates, but also because I knew he had been a Democrat most of his life and I was not convinced that he would govern in a way that respected the values and priorities that I described in my previous paragraph. On the second half of those concerns, Trump has done a spectacular job, and in fact I do not believe there is anyone alive that could have endured what he has endured or done what he has done. Simply amazing. On the personal behavior side, he still makes me cringe sometimes. But the work that he is doing is so important and so impressive, that I may vote for him in 2020. We'll see.

You should go watch the speech that Trump gave to the UN today. It was truly epic.

 

Warren takes a narrow lead in two national polls out today:

Quinnipiac
Biden 25, Warren 27, Sanders 16, Buttigieg 7, Harris 3, Yang 2, O'Rourke 2, Booker 0, Klobuchar 2, Castro 2, Gabbard 1, Bennet 1, Delaney 0

Economist/YouGov
Biden 26, Warren 27, Sanders 16, Buttigieg 6, Harris 4, Yang 2, O'Rourke 2, Booker 0, Klobuchar 1, Castro 0, Gabbard 1, Bennet 1, Delaney 1

This Ukraine stuff is another arrow in Joe Biden and it is not helping him. With a substantial part of the establishment left media pushing pretty openly for Warren, it should be no surprise to see these two switch places.

It seems like Democrat voters are happy to let the Democrat mass media effectively pick their leaders for them. Go figure.

 

Well, the next time that they publish a clear accusation of what they are intending to impeach Trump for, will of course be the first time.

 

OK then. Can you please explain concisely and without a lot of bull___ exactly what the charge is? For example, President Clinton was impeached for lying under oath to a grand jury.

 

I do not believe that Biden is up to this task, as he is just too old. Of course he has run twice previously and did not make a very impressive showing on those occasions either. But at this point, time has overcome Joe and he needs to retire.

Joe's lead has up until now been attributable to his credentials as Obama's VP, his strong name recognition, and the extreme weakness of the rest of the Democrat primary field. Biden was the initial establishment pick, with all that label typically implies. But it appears that they have concluded that he is not up to the task, as they do not think he can be competitive against Trump in the general election. That appears to be a correct assessment, in my opinion.

The establishment elites appear to have preferred someone more politically moderate as an alternative to Joe, but their is not such person with sufficient gravitas left in the party. Also, the left wing base and much of the media, who are pretty openly practicing cultural Marxism, will not tolerate any new candidates for the Democrats rising up who do not comply with their extreme far left "Political correctness" agenda.

So it appears that they have looked at their alternatives and Pocahontas is the best choice available. She is too far left but they cannot put up anyone very much to the right of her. It does not appear that she is exactly the "Establishment" candidate, which is interesting. If she continues to be strong and moves towards winning the nomination, we should discuss that more.

 

That does not appear to be what actually happened. Certainly there is no evidence from this reality to back those assertions up. But I guess the Democrat left TDS fever dream infested echo chamber that you seem to glean your information from is echoing the points you made above.

So, presuming for discussion's sake that what you said in your quote above was actually factual, what is the actual crime? This is not going to require a whole paragraph to explain, if there actually is one.
