Is it time yet to point out that only one D candidate has promised to bring these crooks to justice if she gets elected??
That she is Elizabeth Warren, the defender of our democracy.

(18,402 posts)Tradition dictates that the president names the attorney general, but should not be involved in telling that AG whom to prosecute or not.
That is what we're fighting against, right? Trump's idea that he controls the people at Justice?

(115,267 posts)Isn't that what we are complaining about now - that Trump is telling Barr whom to prosecute? That's not supposed to be how it works. I would assume any Dem will appoint an AG who would prosecute people who need prosecuting, but the president is supposed to stay out of it.

(3,239 posts)AS James Nance Garner once said; ' The Vice Presidency isn't worth a bucket of warm piss". You have no power at all. As AG she could kick ass and take names. The only thing a VP does is hang around in case of you know what. Harry Truman didn't even know about the Manhattan Project until FDR died. I always figured you have to blackmail or threaten somebody to take the job. I don't think it influences elections a bit. Even Palin didn't seem to hurt McGrumpy.

She is running on it, and she means it.
This impresses the hell out of me, and wish every Democratic candidate would join her in this.

(5,275 posts)To do that we have to win so vote Blue no matter who.
So far Warren has not put up big numbers hope that changes but not overly optimistic it will.
Going forward the Bloomberg effect might chip away support from Center Left Candidates like Mayor Pete and Amy K.
Whoever wins the nomination better win this might be the last chance before a long dark period.
