With One Line, Elizabeth Warren Effectively Ends What Was Left of John Delaney's Campaign

In one line during Tuesday's CNN Democratic primary debate, Sen. Elizabeth Warren made a distinction between her vision of the Democratic Party and that of her more conservative opponents.

Replying to former John Delaney, a former congressman from Maryland polling at around one percent who has made opposing left-leaning policy ideas the centerpiece of his quixotic run for the nomination, Warren wondered aloud what use it was trying to lead the American people without a vision.

"You know, I don't understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the United States just to talk about what we really can't do and shouldn't fight for," said the Massachusetts Democrat.

"We need to have the courage to fight back against them," said Warren. "Until we're ready to do that, it's just more of the same."

"Well, I'm ready to get in this fight," said Warren. "I'm ready to win this fight."

This is why Warren is top on my list. I think she is the best qualified to fight back.

"President Trump could be criminally charged with obstruction of justice after he leaves office."

This is what we are saying. Enough to file criminal prosecution.

Update: Mueller then corrected Lieu's wording: "As we say in the report, and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the President committed a crime. With that, Mr. Chairman, I'm ready to answer questions."


That totally changes what I am saying. He had to throw that in. Ass.

I am curious if this is fact. 4th of July crowd.
