Ah, I've seen several right wing Twitter accounts already going with the whistleblower was.
They still have a lot of reporters who do great work, but their leadership is awful, and the celebrity reporters suck ass.
I think the $10 million digital ad buy in early states indicates some very strong fundraising.
It's not like she's skimping on staff either.

I love when conservatives argue that adversarial lawyers are biased, as if they are making some grand point. Lawyers are paid to be biased and can be disbarred if they are not.
They also ignore the fact that, by the same shitty standard, their own lawyers are "unfairly biased." Giuliani was a Republican politician for decades! Yet some dude interning for Clinton 20 years ago is a problem? Christ.

You're telling me #Trump2020landslidevictory is not a authentic resonating hashtag being promoted by totally not fake very real people? I don't believe you!
What do they think they are accomplishing with that hashtag anyway? I don't think talk of a red wave helped them in 2018.

I was also an intern in Chuck Schumer's office 18 years ago if the president would like to tweet about everyone's internships from that summer.

Trump trying to drag Biden into the muck over Ukraine might help with that. Yesterday really was a glorious day.
the WH is still trying this slow roll "here's the report the full thing syke how about we give you this instead" shit
their plan is to hope that people who only see news headlines think they're cooperating, but also hope they don't realize that the headline never changes?

It's going to take them a while to adjust to not being in control of the headlines.
One super dumb thing that people opposing this need to be reminded of is that, even if Whatever Biden were guilty as fuck of Ukrainian Whatever, it still doesn't make any of this less impeachable.

Rudy Giuliani is saying on Fox News that he has had the Ukraine transcript read to him.
I'd be interested in knowing what rationale could possibly exist for a person who does not work for the government getting access to the transcript before Congress.

Unless Trump ordered that, it would be illegal to have done that for someone without a clearance https://twitter.com/abbydphillip/status/1176832193898930176 …

Aren't you the guy who puts ketchup on his well done steak? Reparations rescinded!
Is it good or bad that I consider these freaking awesome polls for Warren to be almost as emotionally rewarding as the impeachment inquiry? I'm 100% fine with her slowly chipping away at both Biden and Sanders (and wiping Harris off the face of the planet apparently) as a potential "woah, maybe we don't have to just settle for Biden" candidate.
Yeah but she's been coasting on getting virtually no negative attention. I said it back then... the Bernie fans who were like "yayyy super best friends we're a team" are going to be singing a different tune when it becomes apparent that Warren and Sanders are on two different trajectories. Tone in r/sandersforpresident or whatever it is is starting to shift quite a bit. How she can take a punch will define her campaign. Looking forward to seeing what's going to happen.
One thing I look at in polls is where the olds are. They vote. A lot. Even the democratic ones. That's how you win a primary. You ain't got the olds, you ain't going nowhere. This is the....well it's the same as every poll. Sanders runs fifth with voters over 65, behind Biden, Warren, Butti, and Harris. He's at 3% with those over 65. You simply cannot win like that. There aren't enough young people in the world to overcome that. His only demo is 18-34, and he's only winning them by 14. That's nowhere near enough to even be competitive, let alone win this thing. He also still has a Democrat problem, so good luck with that. Also of note, his best demo is those who are paying little/no attention. That tells me he's either going to have a hard time turning out some of his voters, because they're literally not that invested, OR his numbers are inflated by name recognition. It's probably a little from column A, little from column B tbh.
Looking at those crosstabs, I wanna be Warren. Her support is wide enough among most groups. People are excited about her, but they're still a bit scared. A win in Iowa/NH is going to do wonders for her, I think. There is a subset of voters who want her, but they're just a bit camera shy. Not just voters of color, because I think that's an oversimplification of what she needs to do to actually win support not just get folks to say "Well, okay I guess...." That should NEVER be the bar we want to clear with the most important, most engaged, and most loyal block of voters. If there are concerns in the black community, Warren would be good to engage, listen and work on it. Luckily, she's smart, so I definitely see her putting in the necessary work.

Oh no! Doing the right thing might also hurt Biden.
Oh dear!
What ever shall we do?
Did I sound convincing?
This was always going to be there talking point.
When the Senate fails to bring it to a vote it will be Democrat's fault for not trying hard enough.
"But they don't have the Senate votes anyways."
"You really think they would vote against their interests?"
Etc
Tbh I hope she does and brings up the Native American thing. I don't want Warren to be the nominee if she can't handle that being thrown in her face during a debate. Warrens momentum could crater like Kamala's did if she can't. I hope she handles it well or has a good response but I haven't seen one yet.
