This a thread about Democratic candidates. Clinton isn't running, and to think destroying Clinton is an important goal is very weird.

Yes, that is a die-hard obsession of the wackadoodle right.

Hey, guys, here is what I'm seeing:

* Except it ain't no spat. The game is changing for (stealth 'compromise') candidate H. Clinton. I been told you...don't underrate what Tulsi can do. My hope is she'll bring it home to DJT before giving it up to the dem quagmire.

When you are polling at less than 1%, almost any change can only be for the better.

Escaping the margin of error would be quite something, yes.

Doesn't the Washington Post realize they're supposed to be biased against Bernie?!

Right now, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) leads the Democratic field in net favorability among Democrats and Democratic leaners with 55 percent. He is followed by former vice president Joe Biden with 46 percent and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) with 43 percent, then Sen. Kamala D. Harris (31 percent).

Sometimes you just can't smear the facts no matter how much you want...

I worked in Queens 50 years ago on 164th St in Flushing, as a clerk in the NY Telephone construction department. Sometimes I worked the trouble desk (sb/sb, sheath break/squirrel bite).

I have a feeling that many of the Bernie crowd came from Brooklyn, cutting holes in the barbed wire fence between the guard towers.

CNN is reporting that President Trump has been notified that he will be impeached.

Not true...Never Trumpers, etc., have always been against the President. His rank and file support has never been stronger.

That is an error. Though it is certainly true that he tweets out of his persecution complex daily.

Listen to that stuck pig squeal.

Did he say mean things again or was he found guilty of a crime?

Trump compared his impeachment to lynching.

Sorry, not CNN. It was reported by someone named Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC.

Video at this link: https://saraacarter.com/nicolle-wallace-trump-was-notified-the-house-dems-will-impeach-him/

Nicole sez:

Quote"Donald Trump has been told by close associates that at least one outside adviser that he will be impeached and the only thing standing between him and removal from office is those 53 Republican senators. That's according to a trump ally and outside adviser in contact with this white house, who describes trump's small inner circle as quietly coming to grips with the reality that impeachment is happening and a majority of Americans support it."

And that's not even the craziest part of that tweet:

"So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching. But we will WIN!"

Without due process or fairness or any legal rights??

Hyperbolic comparison, but (in the scenario hasn't done anything illegal) anyone would be annoyed if people kept trying to make up reasons to fire them.

I mean, if he did something illegal, fine, but if he didn't, it's obvious they are trying to do that because they have no chance next election. Whoever is doing this is trying to undermine the authority of voters.

Oh, right. Metaphors are shocking.

Bad news for both Warren and the "It's got to be Bernie! contingent:

In sum, Democrats do need to excite their base. However, with 33 percent of voters deciding their vote based on who Democrats nominate, 50 percent of Republicans willing to consider another candidate and 54 percent of voters worried about terrorism, Democrats would be wise to nominate someone credible on national security and not considered politically extreme. Democrats should choose very wisely.

All of this post is of course nonsense. What created terrorism? Interventionism. So how is anti-interventionism bad in regards of terrorism? Wapo wants corporate candidate so they craft these nonsense articles.
