This Trump tape raises the 2020 stakes higher than ever

And our progressive shopping list just became a distant second to getting this motherfucker out of the White House.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Trump talks like a mobster so i'm not surprised he said iit.

More damaging was the timeline of when he learned how dependent Ukraine was for the money
Desperate really, he knew he could extort them.

I bet we are going to find out he knew about the Saudis wanting to kill khashoggi and effectively gave his consent . After all, it has been reported that Jared went and met with ksm and gave info on Saudi regime dissidents.

it is exhausting to endlessly debate minute differences among dem candidates. It doesn’t matter at all! Debates no longer matter either, the last one was a joke and it’s getting worse. The last thing we want is to have protracted primary. I hope we’ll get our nominee early March and move to general election while banning rediscussing ended primary. Beat 2020 - that’s the slogan.

the huge tasks of putting our nation back together even better. You do know Biden wanted her in 2015 when he was considering running after his son's death? Reportedly, he wanted ONLY her at that time, and you don't partner with a Warren to do nothing.

I believe some elements of her anti-corruption bill are tougher than those of the house Democrats corresponding elements in their massive fix-Democracy package, HR1, a lot of theirs not covered in hers, but that's what reconciliation's for.

and that will create opportunities to rebuild even better or more appropriately for today.

Agree entirely, though, that arguing over which national healthcare system we want is shockingly clueless when there is great danger of all big national programs being declared unconstitutional and dismantled.
