US PoliEra 2020 |OT 2| Dershowitz says "Quid Pro Quo on the Go?" [See Staff Post]

TheHunter · Jan 30, 2020

This man argued that one Donald J. Trump shall hence forth be known as Donald "King Master Emperor Lord Chancellor" Trump and can do anything he wants as long as it is in "America's best interest". The GOP can't decide if it wants witness or not but hey, what's the end of democracy as we know it.

As long as we can stick it to those libs. Isn't that right Gollum?

In other news, the dem primary rages on. Warren was up, and now she is down. Pete was up, and now he is down. Bernie is now the new hotness, but will he burn bright or burn out?

Man, he's such a good candidate. I'm impressed the DSCC pulled this one out, I heard he was their top recruit.

I hope his candidacy goes a way towards keeping African-American turnout high in the runoff election.

The sample error is +/- 9% lol, the results are basically meaningless.

Also, the trial is a sham, but I think even the average American can kinda see that.

GOP wants quick end amid belief they'll defeat witness vote. Top Rs believe final vote on acquittal could happen as early as tomorrow night. "The leader would have the right of first recognition, and if he wanted to move to closing arguments I suspect we'd do that," Thune said https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1222734554689163265 …

McConnell expected to move quickly to acquit Trump if Friday's vote for witnesses and docs is defeated - as GOP leaders believe they are closing in on the votes necessary to block any witnesses. Dems will force votes but acquittal would happen soon after https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/29/politics/witness-vote-mitch-mcconnell-plans/index.html …

Bitch is perfectly okay with one of Trump's lawyers saying a sitting President can do whatever they want to win an election.

Fuck Republicans.

OmniOne · Jan 30, 2020

So out of 11 races, we have only three cases (the 2016 and 2000 Democratic caucuses and the 2008 Republican caucuses) where the polls at this point were more or less spot on. And two of those three cases were in races where there were essentially just two candidates, which are sometimes easier to predict. Every other race featured some kind of late polling movement or election night surprise involving the top three candidates.

This was a standout:

The 2004 Democratic caucuses saw even bigger last-minute swings. At this point, the polls showed the race as: Howard Dean 28 percent, Richard Gephart 25, John Kerry 20, Edwards 15. The actual finish bore almost no relation to the polls; it was Kerry 37 percent, Edwards 33, Dean 17 and Gephardt 11.

I know he'll be acquired, but not calling witnesses is the ultimate act of a cover up (to say nothing of ignoring subpoenas of people and documents).
Also, I really, REALLY don't want to see the orange clown gloating during the SOTU. It would be like salt in a wound.

Pelosi controls the timing of the SOTU, why not just delay it a month if the witness vote fails. That way Trump can't gloat while the news is hot off the presses. In a month or so it will be old news and inevitably more damning stuff will come out just making him and all the GOP look guilty of a coverup. Then let them do the SOTU where Trump bragging about being aquitted just seems like old news to the country.

I wish I could say I was surprised that Bloomberg has been so successful at purchasing his way into the top ~4.

I haven't watched network TV in years, but I've been taking care of my mom at my house recently and she watches it.
Bloomberg has ads non-stop slamming Trump. I haven't seen a single ad from another Dem. I'm in DC and it's like no one else is running.

I'll tell you what, that argument by Dershowitz just put me into camp Bernie.

Casa · Jan 30, 2020

So, are we going to see any of these moderate asshole Dems like Manchin, Sinema, and Jones vote yes to acquit so Trump can gloat about his "bipartisan acquittal" at the SOTU and on the campaign trail for months?

A runoff between Warnock and Collins? Good luck.

Hopefully it'll be more of a "Operation Icing on the Cake" type of deal than a "Oh Christ if we don't win this we're literally all gonna die"

Let the Democrats take one last victory lap before assuming the presidency (and Senate majority).

Imagine if he ends up getting re-elected after all this. At that point I just don't know what else we can do but push for secession.
