2. I love how you pass of your wishes as facts like a typical rabid left/right winger.

"wishes"??  Naah, just slightly more up to date with my information, and a bit of analysis.  Let me remind you that you weren't even aware that Pelosi had decided to move forward with impeachment proceedings.

They don't have to "get 67 votes in the Senate". 

 

If there is clear cut evidence that Drumpf broke the law - and the fact that senior govt employee took a personal risk in filing that whistleblower complaint implies that there is - then the Republicans themselves will make Drumpf resign, like Nixon.  Because that gives them some semblance of a shot for 2020.  Replace Drumpf with Pence, claim that a house-cleaning is done, and then fight the Democrats on the traditional turf of high-tax, high spending "socialist" liberals.  

 

Even Pelosi knows this, and that's why she didn't bother going for impeachment earlier - it was not in the democratic party's interest to get an impeachment that the Senate won't follow through on.  It would either galvanize support for Drumpf, or push the Republicans into jettisoning him and becoming a stronger opponent.   But Drumpf's stupidity and the whistle-blower have forced matters now. 

 

Remains to be seen whether Pence becomes collateral damage, or remains unscathed enough to ascend to the Presidency.   I suspect this is the reason why Drumpf dragged Pence's name into the Ukraine mess, by bringing up his conversations.  If he's going down, he wants to take Pence down with him, because that could mean President Pelosi - and that would force the Republicans to back him even if they are reluctant.  

 

Btw, the Whistleblower apparently was not aware of this particular phone call.  His complaint is apparently a lot more damning.  So even if you buy the Faux News spin that the phone call is "weak", which its not btw - that's not the only evidence against Drumpf. 

 

The simple fact is that most interactions between heads of state are highly choreographed and planned meticulously in  advance.  Even phone calls.  So there were several rounds of discussions and negotiations between underlings that essentially decided the agenda and talking points for the phone conversation, before the phone was ever dialed.  Those discussions and negotiations will have a gigantic paper trail, not to mention several witnesses who would have to take grave personal risk to lie under oath.  And once the realization sets in that this issue can't be brazenly wished away by tweeting denials and Fox News trash, the lemmings will start jumping the ship and self-preservation starts kicking in.  

 

In fact, I would bet there are serious meetings going on within the Republican party right now, to chalk out the template for the post-Drumpf months leading to November 2020.   Mitt Romney is going to be a player in this, I suspect, before long.

 

 

 

 

All good, if it happens. But Drumpf is so thick-skinned, that he will not let GOP strong-arm him to resign. He will still go through senate to garner sympathy, like Clinton. What has he got to protect like other political families? Legacy? C'mon , it is Drumpf we are talking about. He is an opportunistic person. He will cut a deal, somehow.

Yawn. 

I will believe it when I see it. Till then I have no interest in discussing any rep candidate than Trump because we all know that without impeachment, the incumbent always has default support of the party. So it is not really adding any value to the actual election discussion.

 

The day he is impeached/resigns is only when we can discuss another rep candidate except Trump. Till then, it’s Trump vs the Dems.

Oh he's shameless and will go down fighting because impeachment won't be the end of his troubles.  His only card right now is to drag Pence down with him, which means Nancy Pelosi is next in line to be President.  I don't think that can save him if evidence exists that conclusively nail him.  I got to be honest, that its not just my gut telling me that there's evidence, its also me wanting it to be the case.  So let's see.  I just saw some tweets claiming that the whistleblower complaint is going to be de-classified and released.  Maybe Trump's taking a shot at making everything public, make it a trial by media, and trying to ride it out as the evidence against him not being strong enough.  Just like he was able to ride out the Mueller investigation with "no collusion" nonsense.

Unless he gets impeached, he is a favourite to retain his Presidency. Last time I voted for Hillary, this time will be for Trump. 

Agree with your first sentence.  From what I can see, the Dem candidates are cannibalizing the party; they are tilting further and further left. The younger moderate candidates have no clout.  

 

The second sentence elicits a question.  Why?  

 

Last time I voted Libertarian.  Will probably do so again.

As per the law of straw man fallacy, it was started by Sachinism to divert the orginal argument that Bernie is a commie,  to mean by default all billionaires exploit people  once a straw man fallacy is triggered, there is no holding back.

 

..say the Straw man fallacy judge in ICF

People need to watch the Democratic debates, they may have replays on YT currently. The Democratic field is a clown show. It's like AAP migrated to the US.  Some of these chus want to turn the US economy into a facsimile of the Indian one for the majority of India's history.

 

The candidate currently looks to come out of Biden, Bernie, and Warren. 

 

Andrew Yang and Joe Biden are the best candidates. The former is a long-shot to be a long-shot. The latter is going to be a victim to what his moron boss, Obama, unleashed on the US.

 

My Tiers:

S (many new ideas and a good change for the Ds)- Andrew Yang

A(traditional moderate D)- Biden

B(decent sane candidates with some/a big flaw(s))-Buttigieg and Tulsi

C(comic relief)- Williamson, Kamala

D(Irrelevant hordes)- the balance, ie Beto, Castro, etc

T(Tatti-tier: people who have a chance to win the D's candidature and thus the presidency): Warren and Sanders

 

It seems like the D's enthusiastic voters are gravitating to the T-tier. I guess that shows that most of their voters are socialists. 

 

A Trump vs T-tier election would basically be a major shift away from the traditional American economy, one of free-market capitalism, to competitive protectionism and government interference in the economy. That will be very dangerous for Americans. :((

She will lead the world to its end.  After all, she has predicted that it will end in 12 years.  This is why scientists cringe at politicians.  Nowhere in the UN IPCC report did it predict a doomsday in 12 years, but she had to go there.  It is a recurring theme - politicians cannot survive if there is no fear-mongering.  

 

Trump: Beware the Mexicans

Sanders: Beware the big corporations, beware nuclear power, beware doctors

Marianne Williamson: Beware chemicals.

AOC: Beware the end of the world

 

They find things that their demographic is a bit worried about, amplify them to ridiculous extents and in the process, lose credibility.

I didn't see this news posted earlier. This guy George Soros, is one of the big Democratic donors. Google him if you guys want. The big Republican donors are the Koch brothers. 

Saw this on my timeline looks like the meeting backfired 

Imran is a Jewish agent :hysterical:
