So what is Tom Steyer going to talk about now.

You know he was all excited to be the voice of impeachment at the next debate.

When will resignation/impeachment marches begin?

If there was ever a time or a reason for Americans to march on Washington and their state capitals, the time is now.
Why won’t we do this?

Tom Perez has an interesting decision to make.

Will the DNC go with one night or two in the October debate(s)?
Also, if they do go with two nights, will they continue to draw names for the nights, or go to what the GOP did in 2016 and put the higher polling candidates on the first night and others on night two.

It's really past bad with my family & friends Trumpers.

Like I bet many of you have had to do over the past 3 years, I’ve had to ask myself some really hard questions lately.
When is enuf enuf?
If these (supposedly) good people in my life continue to support this man who is destroying our country, how do I remain in the SAME type of relationship with them.
I’ve already canceled any social media to avoid their vile.
I’ve dropped those relationships that were just casual.
And, now, I’m thinking about dropping some REALLY important relationships.
With most, (as I’m sure you’ve probably done) we have always just agreed to disagree and just never discuss politics.
But more and more it seemed to seep into everyday life with snide remarks with them or their friends, neighbors, and acquaintances about how great Trump is in “owning the libs”.
I am not a confrontational person.
I often go along to get along.
But, if I hear one more Trumper say.... “who cares about the stupid shit he says, my 401K looks great”.
First, why does he get credit for that?
Second, why does Obama/Biden get no credit for saving us from a likely depression?
Third, no matter how good the stock market is doing right now, what goes up usually comes down.
Fourth, is having another car 🚘 or a boat 🚣‍♀️ really worth the damage that this evil corrupt person is doing to our country and to our planet?
Fifth, have these people been so outFauxed and Rush Limbotomized that they really believe the country would be better off with four more years of him than a “radical, tree hugging, baby killing, bed wetting liberal”? (That was rhetorical- of course they do).

The really heart ❤️ crushing part is that these are people that I love and that love me.
How do I keep them in my life and still keep my self respect and semi sanity?

This is what I hate most about Trump. He has impacted my actual life so negatively.
Or, make that, I have ALLOWED him to do so.
Any suggestions from those that understand where I’m coming from?

When does Hillary scream: I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO!!!

Damn deplorables.

This Ukraine thing could help Joe Biden.

It puts foreign policy (Joes strong suit) front and center.
It makes Joe a sympathetic figure with Giuliani going after one of Biden’s sons not that long after his other son had died.
It creates a more chaotic atmosphere around Trump. And I think the more chaos the better for Biden because the country (and many Dems in the primary) will want a stable influence to offset Trumps years of lunacy and constant crisis.

Rudy Guiliani will be on CNN with Cuomo at 9pm Eastern.

I can’t watch all of his lies about Ukraine.
Maybe one of you can take one for the team and watch it.

A ? For the 36% Undecideds here.

How far along are you in the decision making process?
Wide open?
Narrowed down to 4-5?
Narrowed down to 2-3?

Thanks, in advance, for your response.

These state polls might move me from Warren to Biden.

I am more liberal than Biden.
I’m actually more liberal than Warren.
I support her for many of her policies and because our country is way past due for a woman.

However, my overwhelming concern for our democracy is ridding the country of Trump.
I simply can’t fathom the amount of damage and theft he could accomplish by 2024.
So, ELECTABILITY is number one with me.
Number two for me is to have a Prez nominee that can help us in some key states to take back the Senate and take the Turtles 🐢 reign of terror away.
The biggest opportunities for us to flip the expected needed four seats are in Colorado, Arizona, NCarolina, and Maine.

The most important swing states to win the Presidency are to bring back home to the blue side:
Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and to possibly turn these purple ones: NCarolina, Florida, Iowa (and possibly even the longer shots, the slightly red: Arizona, Ohio, Georgia, Texas).

So, once we winnow the Dem primary field in February or March, I will be keeping a very keen eye out of polling numbers in the states listed above.
If there’s a big difference in Biden’s numbers and Warrens numbers, I could very well Vote with my head for Biden in my states March primary. But, if those numbers are relatively close, I will vote with my heart for Warren.

Does anybody feel the way that I do?

September 18, 2019

? For those in AZ, NC, ME, CO.

We need these four states to take back the Senate.
If you live in one of them, please tell me which Prez candidate you think would most help the Dem Senate candidate in your state.
