Breaking on CNN

Said Mueller put it in their hands

1. This is the smart play for a

Presidential candidate to make. There will be others to follow putting pressure on Pelosi to begin impeachment proceedings.

4. Pelosi would be smart to look at the polling, once it gets to around 80 - 90% dem she should light

... a fire.

[TwilightZone]

12. 67% of Dems in poll released today.

You think we should look at polls before deciding?

[uponit7771]

13. No, not at all ... only 43% wanted to impeach Nixon and he was a goner. I'm think the momentum

... of dem 80% is going to make it for the party and others to waffle

Thx for this poll

[louis c]

17. Of course we shouldn't look at the polls...

...it's going to be a cinch to hold all 47 Democratic Senators and add 20 Republicans to remove Trump from office.

boy, you would think we would be tired of losing elections.

21. Those 10 more Trump investigations ongoing. A falling deck of dominos. So maybe wait?

Investigations end. As each grand jury returns indictments it will be rolling thunder.

[uponit7771]

23. The investigations are going to be stonewalled, impeachment helps get past that.

[Fred Sandman]

25. An exposed partisan AG terminating 10 investigations from Muellers referral? That would take magic.

But I get your point, can do impeachment and wait for each investigation or coverup of investigation proceeding.

[uponit7771]

27. Yes, after Baghdad Barr's lies about Mueller handing the ball to him Barr will terminate all ....

... other investigations related to anything Mueller said.

Now the DOJ is saying congress isn't going to get a full report

52% of Americans want to see the redacted report also.

I think impeachment also lights a fire under the Trump admin seeing congress can send their ass's to jail and Barr holding the Mueller report is a good foil IMHO

[uponit7771]

2. ... annnnnnnnnnnd she's on top. The meellee mouthing around this issue is going to get the others ..

... bent

[Ponietz]

3. Kick!

[book_worm]

5. It will be interesting to see how the other presidential candidates respond

[PeeJ52]

6. I'm in love....

Liz... you had me at Im....

[janterry]

7. I love Warren

She's smart, brave-

and right --on just about everything.

[manor321]

8. HELL'S YEAH BABY!

Unleash the impeachment!

[triron]

9. Three cheers for Senator Warren.

[malchickiwick]

10. YES!!! I Agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY With Senator Warren!

I appreciate her saying it.

[hedda_foil]

11. Great! I hope other candidates follow her lead.

[harumph]

14. Well played.

[llmart]

15. She has always been a fighter for Democratic ideals.

She's never been afraid to speak her mind. I love that about her.

[louis c]

16. I'll follow Pelosi's suggestion...

...she's been at this a lot longer than Warren.

Warren's my Senator and I voted and worked for her twice. I am not supporting her for President in the primary and she is the worst tactician in the race. We follow Warren's political advice at our own peril.

[Kurt V.]

29. She's polling 5th in a field of 15.

[louis c]

32. Ya, Warren's doing great. She's running third in Massachestts, with 14%

She's behind Bernie by 12% and Biden by 9%.

I don't think it's name recognition in Mass.

Expect the Boston Mayor to come out for Biden right after he announces.

What's your impression of 14% in her home state?

[Kurt V.]

37. the misogyny in the media is apparent, so i'd say she's doing pretty good.

[louis c]

38. 14% in Massachusetts is good?

Wow, you have fuzzy math.

[Kurt V.]

39. She's in the top 1/3 nationally and locally. so 2/3 of the candidates are trailing her.

i know...fractions are hard.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

33. Think that's the issue..been at this too long.

[louis c]

36. Ya, got us health care and won the majority back and kicked Trump's ass during the shut down...

...Remember, it was the 30 or 40 moderate Democrats who took out Republicans that got us our majority, not the dozen or so socialist Democrats who took out fellow Democrats or won open, Democratic seats.

where Nancy Pelosi and I agree is that politics is more about math and less about emotion.

First, do the math. The person or group with the most votes usually wins, not the biggest mouth (Trump is the exception to the rule, not the rule).

[tnlurker]

18. I agree

100%

[crazytown]

19. Warren is being Warren

the biggest crooks belong in jail

[Fred Sandman]

22. They are both right. One to play the moderate and and others more spirited to keep the pressure.

More info on the evil to follow shortly.

[forgotmylogin]

31. Good cop, bad cop.

I have always said one of the Democratic candidates needs to play the "tank" and be the loudest most outspoken to draw all of Presiden't I'mFucked's ire to run defense for the rest.

I'm sure there's a position for that in football, but...I play video games.

(Not that is what Warren is or should be doing, she's my current pick.)

[Fred Sandman]

34. Yep. But looks like one small Muslim woman with the huge voice and sharp mind has the job already.

[BigmanPigman]

20. I just called to thank her.

[NRaleighLiberal]

24. Bravo. This needs courage...and action

[LovingA2andMI]

26. THANK YOU SENATOR WARREN!!!

And you just made us take a second look at your Presidential Candidacy.

[DLevine]

28. Good for her. I agree. nt

[Solomon]

30. Release the Kracken!

Impeach the #ucker. Now!

[kentuck]

35. She has moved way up my list...

She may be my favorite. She has shown leadership on this very vital issue.
