Or does it? I didn't think so.

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

Biden campaign: Impeachment 'may be unavoidable' now: MrsCoffee May 2019 #7
thanks! Celerity May 2019 #8
In other words...no impeachment now or soon. Continue investigations of whatever. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #13
Not necessarily. Yours is only one of many possible inferences. LanternWaste May 2019 #21
"Impeachment may be unavoidable" is self-explanatory. It means maybe, but maybe not.nt Honeycombe8 May 2019 #22
No. It means what it says which is "The House may have to impeach." emmaverybo May 2019 #32
"May." Not "will." Not "should." Not "probably." Not "likely." Maybe, maybe not. As I said.nt Honeycombe8 May 2019 #34
So? In any case, the votes are not there. It is not up to Biden. Try to convince House members. emmaverybo May 2019 #35

Impeachment could cost us the house and the presidency...you all may feel 'good' about it but not so Demsrule86 May 2019 #14

It is a waste with no chance of conviction and everything to lose. Demsrule86 May 2019 #18
Agree. How bout we work on forestalling the next Russian attack? emmaverybo May 2019 #33

The fed doesn't control state teacher pay or school districts & school taxes. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #9
not directly Vidal May 2019 #10
Okay, that's what I thought. The fed doesn't have control over that. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #12
A number of other candidates have said they will raise teacher pay...funny no one said anything Demsrule86 May 2019 #15
Another candidate said he/she WILL raise teacher pay? Who? Honeycombe8 May 2019 #16
Harris has for sure...and there are others. Demsrule86 May 2019 #19
Oh. I don't follow her. She's okay, but not one I'm zeroing in on. nt Honeycombe8 May 2019 #20
Sanders. He called for $60k salary minimum for teachers, IIRC. WhiskeyGrinder May 2019 #23
I don't follow him, either. With several saying that, maybe the fed has control over salaries?nt Honeycombe8 May 2019 #25
No, it does not. When candidates make statements like that, I'm assuming they're talking about WhiskeyGrinder May 2019 #26
I see. Then that's what the candidates should say. Honeycombe8 May 2019 #27
Horse, barn, etc. WhiskeyGrinder May 2019 #29
In my state, teachers are state employees. LuvNewcastle May 2019 #30
Yeah...see, that's what I thought. We pay state/district school taxes & such. nt Honeycombe8 May 2019 #31
