She waited until enough people got the gist, then pulled the trigger. We held this singular issue - the one people understood Trump was wrong on - in the news for longer than anything else has been in the news. Which means it's now held in the minds of the voter. She also knew that he, Trump, would do nothing to help his case in the remaining months between now and the election. Furthermore, Bolton not testifying. And Romney making the Republican case against acquittal, only worsened the outcome. The Senate is in play, and if Doug Jones loses, I think this whole exchange will also boot Susan Collins and Corey Gardner. Not to mention that Trump is a candidate (as we saw in 2018) who animates his opposition. And since he's directly involved in this race, it's going to be a disaster. Worse still is that if Biden or Warren aren't on the ticket, the ammunition the GOP has built up against them is gone. I'm a likely Bernie supporter, but if Mayor Pete gets the nomination, it's going to look like a race between an articulate veteran vs. a dying stroke victim. The impeachment is a slow moving disater for the Trump Administration. |

Google has the Iowa caucus results at 96% districts reporting with mayor Pete and Bernie virtually tied:
Pete: 26.2%, 11 delegates Bernie: 26.1%, 11 delegates Supposedly Bernie had a clear win in the popular vote And now I'm hearing the DNC wants to recanvass?? https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/io...-primary-02-06 Dumb move trusting Iowans to use an app. This is Florida in 2000 all over again. Quote:

I honestly wouldn't bet against Trump regardless of who the nominee is, unless the economy tanks or something
But Pete is basically a less likable, younger white Obama wannabe. Except he doesn't get the black vote. |
I wouldn't be surprised if he's the nominee... Biden has been the main competition through most of the election so far and things aren't looking good for him at all. If he loses bad in NH then it could hurt his prospects in SC. If he doesn't have a clear decisive win in SC he's all but doomed since the electability argument has been his main selling point.
Since his presumed dominance in SC is based largely on the black vote, Sanders seems like the best contender to pick up those votes. Very hard to imagine Pete being too competitive with that group. Not only is he stained with charges of racism in South bend, he's openly gay. Good luck with that. Beyond any of the electability **** though, Sanders is really the only interesting candidate to me. Rather gamble on someone interesting than settle. He's too old to run in 2024 so it's do or die imo. It's hard to predict when the next Sanders type candidate will come along. Especially if a moderate gets nominated and actually beats Trump. That will only validate the narrative that you need that kind of candidate to beat whatever right wing bogeyman is running for the Republicans. If it's Trump vs Pete/Biden/etc it could actually better long term for the direction of the Democratic party if Trump wins. |
At least it gets a bit more in the public's consciousness to compete with the Cold War propaganda. And in a generation when all the baby boomer chaff are dead we can have a shot at public discourse without the living memory of Joseph McCarthy. But in all likelihood the youth of today will become trash just like their parents and grandparents either way.

Maybe we can vote in some non crooks to swing the Senate majority. They've been particularly bold recently. |
