She also plans on demanding resignations from all Trump appointees.


This alone would get her my vote. This has to be priority #1 for all candidates. We cannot just ignore the Trump administrations endless list of corruption and crimes. Everyone tied to Trump must be investigated and prosecuted. It will be the largest jobs program in US history.

1. She just moved to my #2 chioce

Watch her poll numbers rise.

2. It's a great talking point during an election year,

but I have to wonder if she would really pull it off. Still, I'd like to believe it.

[beastie boy]

4. Whether she can accomplish it or not is a big if, bordering on impossible

But it is commendable and corageous of her that she has the cojones to put Trump's feet to the fire in this way as part of her campaign.

[grumpyduck]

6. Agreed, and that's my point.

If she doesn't pull it off because it may be darn near impossible, it'll come across as just another empty campaign promise to get votes.

IMHO, these people need to be careful what they promise for the sake of credibility.

[OliverQ]

7. Why wouldn't she be able to pull it off?

She can fire every Trump political appointee the day she takes office. Then she can have the DoJ were her appointees/staff form a new division focused on corruption and instruct them to start investigations into all Trump administration employees.

3. This really is the most corrupt admin. in our recent history.

5. And while she is at it, maybe add the enablers in the house and senate.........................

8. She's a real fighter.

9. Isn't it SOP to have everyone give their resignation when a new administration comes in?

How is this different?

[BeyondGeography]

10. This is about accountability and deterrence

If we keep turning the page on criminality what's to dissuade new Trumps from applying the same tactics (and then some) when Republicans regain the White House?

[thesquanderer]

15. Yes. If Obama hadn't been so quick to turn the page, maybe we could have avoided...

...repeating and expanding on some of the same unitary executive crap from the GWB administration.

[OliverQ]

11. Because she plans on actually investigating everyone

who was complicit in destroying Democracy and breaking the law in the Trump Admin.

Biden definitely won't do that. I'm not sure about Bernie as he hasn't mentioned it. Someone like Yang wouldn't either.

[thesquanderer]

14. Not necessarily, there are also plenty of holdovers.

There are, I believe, thousands of appointee positions.

Though I think Trump was quick to try to lose as many Obama holdovers as he could.

12. I said this a long time ago

Every Dem candidate for any Federal office must pledge to go after Trump and any enablers. No "can we just move on crap". They have to pay a price. There can't be a second Trump.

13. I do love her
