We can agree to disagree. And we lost the moral high-ground when the Dems failed to convict Clinton. But the accelerating rate at which Trump is digging himself lower and lower into his sewer, I have to believe that the GOP is going to turn on him at some point soon.

And I still think he's going to seriously spook Wall Street. Once it becomes a matter of money (and not just morals), I fully expect the GOP to kick him out quickly before their owners (er, campaign donors) lose even more money.

And of course, Putin could trigger Trump's rapid removal anytime. He just has to tell the world what he and Trump talked about in their little one-on-one. I have little doubt it would be beyond the pale of what even today's traitorous GOP could publicly stomach.

Bottom line is we need a candidate that could beat Trump or Pence or whatever slime gets the GOP nod this time.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

I want a WOMAN at the top of the ticket. [View all] kag Apr 2019 OP

Nothing wrong with having passion and sticking up for what you believe :) (nt) mr_lebowski Apr 2019 #1

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Hillary a woman? louis c Apr 2019 #2

Right, and she would be in the Whitehouse right now if the Russians hadn't stolen it from her. kag Apr 2019 #8

You'd think that but alas, obviously no Rural_Progressive Apr 2019 #50

You don't think Russia affected the outcome in 2016? delisen Apr 2019 #55

Of course they did... louis c Apr 2019 #86

Just a nitpick, but I think you meant namahage Apr 2019 #77

For President? louis c Apr 2019 #79

So what? She's a human being, too. Should we exclude all human beings? pnwmom Apr 2019 #18

Boy, do you have it reversed... louis c Apr 2019 #39

The polls mean little now without a single debate having taken place. pnwmom Apr 2019 #41

We'll see... louis c Apr 2019 #46

Why would they vote for anyone who said he had no empathy for them? pnwmom Apr 2019 #53

Again, we'll see... louis c Apr 2019 #71

I don't think he's strongest simply because he has the highest name recognition at this point. pnwmom Apr 2019 #72

Well, Biden leads Sanders (and everyone else) in New Hampshire... louis c Apr 2019 #78

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't HRC win more votes than any POTUS candidate not named Obama? ehrnst Apr 2019 #83

Hillary routed rump in the debates and it didn't matter. Who can beat rump...nothing else matters. UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #3
