    This might make my brain explode.  The President wants other foreign governments to investigate the child of a political rival for shady deals outside the US while his own children make money from shady deals in foreign countries.

    It’s an opportunity to nudge public opinion a little more, KEEP HAMMERING THE CASE.  Put on repeat to saturate the public consciousness. This is what Trump does and it’s effective. Keep repeating the case. 

    80% of the shit they are going to say on debate night is stuff they’ve said and we’ve heard before.  Might as well get the most bang out of it.

    They should all dress as Trump for the debates. Then just answer questions about Trump in their best Trump impersonations.

    You know half the candidates on the stag actually have a vote to remove Trump should the house impeach him? 

    Cool. They should be asked that as Congresspeople, not Presidential candidates.

    While I disagree with her, there is a compelling case to be made why Trump shouldn’t be banned.  For one, it plays into his persecution complex that everyone is out to get him and second, he is still the president of the United States.  POTUS being denied a direct line of communication to the population because his rhetoric is harmful could open up more cans of worms than it prevents. 

    I would still temporarily ban him if Twitter was my platform though to deter future harmful rhetoric. 

    I agree with Warren.

    It’s CNN/NYT.  The debate is going to be a shit show with loaded gotcha questions and friendly fire sniping.  If you think anything of substance is going to come out of the debate you haven’t been paying attention.   Might as well tackle the elephant in the room. 

    Yes, no one brings up Trump to the presidential candidates and they never talk about it.

    Really?!?  I suppose you’d prefer they talk about abortion, guns, or socialism?  Because that’s what the debate will be about otherwise.  The front runner has voluntarily decided to make the entire election about Donald Trump.  He should absolutely be able to make his case in light of the new information that has emerged.  It would be negligent not to. 

    Yes, let's talk about Donald Trump more.

    Fuck that.  These people are campaigning on Trump being a threat to the country.  The debate gives them an opportunity to make the case to remove Trump now or wait until the election.  If you actually cared about getting Trump out of office, you’d want that topic to come up in the debate because it’s an opportunity to move the needle more with public opinion. 

    A prime time debate can influence public opinion WAY more than a Pelosi press conference.  

    Their job as presidential candidates is to win the GE in 2020 and lead this country post-Trump. 

    As BT has said, they are all pro-impeachment outside of Gabbard. Talking about it at the debate will just be a contest of who can put out the best one-liner to appease the #Resisters. No thanks.

    Because it’s the most TOPICAL issue FACING THE FUCKING COUNTRY 

    They are running for President in 2020. They are talking to voters about why they would be the best candidate.

    And they've all made statements about impeachment already.  Just watch cable news to get your fill.

    In retrospect he might have been a better DNC chair than Tom Perez? 

    In a strange twist of fate, someone called Pete to ask if he would drop out of DNC race so Keith Ellison would have an easier path to beat Tom Perez.

    That someone was Bernie Sanders.
