WTF happened?

The Democrats forgot that to have compelling TV, you have to have some suspense. Not a boring predictable recitation of talking points that have already been spouted.

The only thing interesting was Tulsi voting "present."

I wasn't entirely surprised she made that decision. She knows, like all the other Democrats, that this is a scam. Signing onto something that the Supreme Court could ultimately rule as unconstitutional would be devastating to her campaign... especially if by some miracle she was able to garner the Dem nomination and need to push herself as a "moderate" to all Americans. Additionally, she can't vote "Nay" outright and alienate completely the wildly far left dem base currently controlling the entire party while attempting to garner their nomination. "Present" was her only real choice there.

The Republiklan wet dream...



Reality...

Yea, toofy grin is the gift that keeps on giving.

He gave us the Drumpf and now gives us this cast of certifiable weirdos running for the dim nomination.

Aaaaand just Wednesday (I think) 15, that’s right FIFTEEN Fed judges confirmed bringing the legacy to something over 150 confirmations the zerO left unfilled. Dummy


Oh, and sanctimonious POS Brennan has now had all his emails and other correspondence subpoena’d under Durhams criminal investigation.

Have yourself a Merry Christmas criminal referral Brennan.

Hope your “tweets” are plentiful between now and the perp walk!

I wonder if that is/was the reason. I wonder even more if that was the right move politically or not?

Those Senators who will be up next to vote should pay close attention to how that works, or not, for her.

Hyapatia Lee (who gets that reference???) should think long and hard about voting present instead of for it, if it is a foregone conclusion the Senate will not approve it. She won't, but she should!

If it was the reason she voted "present" it would further lower any confidence that I would have in her (which I don't, because I would never vote for any of those leftist clowns), as it shows a lack of ability to make a decision one way or the other. That's part of the reason I like Trump. He makes a decision and defends it. It might be wrong, but he stands on his decisions and backs them up regardless. He has a backbone, which has been missing in American politics since the early 1900s.

I'm with you on the hem/haw concept....however, I think it was the best her conscience could handle in a last ditch attempt to save face running as a donk....

w/o question, she doesn't sniff DJT's chops....hell, that's politics and why I despise such....w/o term limits, it's nothing but another version of the 2 party ponzi....

Yessssss, you absolutely correct sir...... +2 for you ..........

Its like the men and women of the left got drunk at a bar, thought they were the life of the party, and everyone loved them. The next morning, they wake up and realize there's some middle aged fat dude in their bed that they screwed the night before, and now they are trying to pretend it really didnt happen.

Its a bad move with the people who vote in the Democratic Primary. I think she's looking for the Green nomination and hoping to get some votes from people who aren't hardcore Democrats and know this whole impeachment business is mornonically stupid.
