I fully acknowledge that she is strategic and is acting strategically. And while I disagree with the idea impeachment was off the table before, I understand that argument and where it comes from. Ultimately we are all acting on speculation and hypotheticals about all this until an election tests it, which is why I…

It has to be the right voters in the right states for the Republicans to feel a threat from this. 

I think if they turn on him, it will be quick so they can get their affairs in order for 2020. But I don't actually think it will happen...

To their credit they have been doing this, but to their...uncredit (sure)...we haven't heard much about it. 

She hasn’t “won” anything on impeachment except some good poll numbers a year before the election (and Trump donations spiked at the same time). There’s no proof this strategy is or isn’t good because there have been no elections and also, thus far, no impeaching. I’m sick of people acting like this was her plan all…

I get that the challenges might be different (though you don’t always get to shut down a building), but how big the project is is not the issue. The most common things you have to do are enlarge bathrooms, adjust stairs, add ramps, add elevators - that takes up a ton of space and an older building that doesn’t have…

Agree. 

I’m not a fan of blanket obstruction either - but this isn’t “day to day business.” It’s not like this was passing a budget or responding to a crisis. This is a big deal that Trump can tout as a legislative achievement AFTER he blew up the first deal by being a stupid maniac. So he’s going to get credit for fixing a…

The only condemnation I have towards Pelosi is not seeing that those very policies hurt the Democratic cause and pushed the DNC further towards callow Centrism.

I think they are trying to respond to the criticism that they have “done nothing” except investigate the president, which is a thing a lot of people believe. I’d argue that those are voters we can’t get anyway, and that this just makes Trump look like a person who governed for a second instead.

Good point - there might have been some “withholding” in exchange for some election interference ....

He might have!

I come from the field of construction, so I know a few things to about the ADA too. I fully recognize what a pain and investment it can be to follow these rules, yet I cannot imagine that should trump a person’s ability to live their lives in public. There are a lot of people who say the same things you’re saying…

Yes Liz Warren’s plans have had the staunch support of the corporate community.

I only got through maybe the first couple episodes but I hated them!

I think it is ALWAYS stupid to release a piece of pop culture about RIGHT NOW without the benefit of hindsight to understand it better. It’s going to be cheesy and, if it even works at all, it’s going to have a shelf life of like 6 months.

I think she’s also the only frontrunner whose polling hasn’t bounced around - it seems to me to be a sign that her support is steadfast and that every time she opens her mouth more people like her.

Of fucking course.

If Trump dies naturally even, his fans will assume he got murdered. I will be happy to start trolling around accusing Republicans.

And the racism (which is related to all the other false promises he made).
