Fake outrage from the right. "HOW DARE YOU SLANDER THE PRESIDENT"
It's the "you must exhaust all administrative remedies" argument.
BIden, for all his shitshows, is still polling ahead of Bernie and Warren on winning against Trump in the gneral and even as the leads have swapped, that hasn't changed, so statistically that's a weird concern. But just to diagram It out with depressing reality.
I'm concerned that if he wins, the ceaseless attacks on Biden - even and especially during the impeachment for the same crime, will undermine him and weigh his candidacy down in a repeat of Hillary from 2016. And if Bernie wins, I'm worried his fractious base and nonstop "red scare" bullshit from the media will not only weigh down his general chances - but that the GOP never had to spend it's Bernie oppo from last time - and that they have a battle plan for him as the nom. Further, none of the candidates can win without strong African American turnout and Bernie will have a giant enthusiasm gap.. Warren - some of the same concerns - and the Pocohontas thing has been cooled off for a bit but I don't underestimate the credulity of voters, and like Bernie, the GOP may have a warchest of oppo and ammo on her.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I wish Kamala and Beto had stayed in the race. Both had baggage but were young enough to have short voting records and few scandals. The current infighting and range of candidates is absolutely depressing. This election should have been a no-brainer - but the media again let the GOP and Donald Trump carry out a three year hit job on the Dem candidates and allowed them to get away with the most outlandish non stop lies in the history of American politics. And still runs stories designed solely to insight fighting, or sow doubt about a candidate's veracity or worth or electability.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Vote D in November and get everyone you know to vote D.
Very true.
One thing I'll miss when this impeachment ends is listening to Schiff speak. Regardless of what happens, he's going to come out of this a political superstar. His chances at being Speaker of the House or AG in a DEM administration have skyrocketed.
This is, stupidly and unfortunately, the defense's current answer to this. Or rather, some combination of "you can't overturn an election from 3 years ago" combined with "you can't remove a president in an election year because what if people want to vote for him?"
The more realistic answer as far as the trial itself is concerned is tomorrow, probably fairly promptly after the motions to allow witness testimony or document subpoenas are both voted down.
By saying Rudy was acting as a private citizen and not a part of US policy. This means Rudy was operating in Trump's personal interest and not the government's. The whole point of the defense argument was that Trump was withholding aid / meeting for valid policy reasons for the US government.
The Republican questions are getting really bold in being pointedly obtuse about basic government concepts.
By selectively quoting them.
No, Trump's lawyers said they undercut the House's case using their own witnesses.
Yep - Hard to believe this all star group of lawyers fucked up. hahah
Love when the GOP Senators trick their own guys into accidentally listing off how consistent and large the democrat case is.
She's clearly the weakest member of the House Managers. Pelosi picking Garcia was definitely a big miss. She can't even read her own brief for 5 sentences without stumbling over her words. Very hard to listen to and doesn't sound convincing.
Cipollone is one trick during this show. my god.
That only applies to people who give a fuck about rules

The GOP... continuing to say that Dems fear Trump... when they've been begging him to show up.
Just remember it's all projection. Trump wasn't threatening to primary Democrats or put Democrats heads on pikes.
