49. I like that question better

Dec 2019

As if that matters.

Some said do it fast. Some said why bother the senate won’t convict. Others said get more evidence.

Then there was evidence a few months ago that trump extorted Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election.

I’ve read that more than a few representatives said that was the straw that made them switch to support.

At what point does silence become consent? The critical question is when is there no longer an excuse to remain silent. Not what was the earliest time.

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

The head to head polling is looking worse and worse. redqueen Dec 2019 #5

How so? Ztolkins Dec 2019 #9

False. TwilightZone Dec 2019 #16

That's reassuring redqueen Dec 2019 #20

I saw that poll too EarlG Dec 2019 #24

Aha, thanks. Wish I'd noticed that before. redqueen Dec 2019 #30

Yah, Wash. Examiner sounds like news you can use. sprinkleeninow Dec 2019 #52

So if you call both sides of the coin being tossed... getagrip_already Dec 2019 #18

And if the result is - as expected - a surge in support him, once he's perceived as being exonerated redqueen Dec 2019 #23

only if you keep repeating right wing talking points.... getagrip_already Dec 2019 #26

What talking points am I repeating? redqueen Dec 2019 #27

it will blow back on us.. it will hurt us in 2020... it is a huge mistake.... getagrip_already Dec 2019 #31

You don't know if that will happen and neither does Yang. brush Dec 2019 #56

What does he suggest we do to hold Trump accountable ??? SamKnause Dec 2019 #6

He will be IMPEACHED by the House. He might not be convicted... brush Dec 2019 #59

Yang's campaign is a disaster Joe941 Dec 2019 #7

That's funny considering who he's outlasted. nt redqueen Dec 2019 #8

Which is irrelevant if he doesn't outlast the top four. TwilightZone Dec 2019 #17

Regardless, his campaign is obviously not a disaster. redqueen Dec 2019 #25

Yang's campaign a disaster? Probably not the right word. How about futile? redstateblues Dec 2019 #78

Is he mad that the media are actually paying attention to the impeachment hearing The Velveteen Ocelot Dec 2019 #11

I disagree with him on this. We know he won't be removed but Trumps crimes must be exposed, Autumn Dec 2019 #12

The only thing worse than impeachment is not impeaching corrupt and criminal behavior. hay rick Dec 2019 #29

If you're taking that tack he should have been impeached in 2017. redqueen Dec 2019 #32

Memory lapse? Are you forgetting waiting on the Mueller report? brush Dec 2019 #60

Yang has also supported impeachment, but I don't think his comment in OP is particularly helpful now Hoyt Dec 2019 #34

There's no evidence supporting his assertions. TwilightZone Dec 2019 #36

Honestly... Salviati Dec 2019 #44

Good point. Cha Dec 2019 #63

What would he rather have on the news? W_HAMILTON Dec 2019 #37

this isn't a political calculation but a constitutional duty AlexSFCA Dec 2019 #38

I'm not sure about that. The Constitution allows for impeachment but it doesn't require it. totodeinhere Dec 2019 #50

Bribing is crime that everyone understands or should, anyway. tirebiter Dec 2019 #43

It's our duty, what the heck is talking about Beringia Dec 2019 #46

So we're supposed to shut up and do nothing about his crimes? dalton99a Dec 2019 #47

We're supposed to defeat him in the election, after which you can indict him. brooklynite Dec 2019 #68

You don't think anything he did is impeachable? dalton99a Dec 2019 #69

I don't think Impeaching him increases the chance of his electoral loss or criminal indictment brooklynite Dec 2019 #72

This sounds self-centered and not wise. Cha Dec 2019 #48

How many people in the room are running for President against Trump? brooklynite Dec 2019 #67

I would like to think all Democrats are 'running' against Trump. Scurrilous Dec 2019 #74

Exactly. This is a lame argument by a political neophyte. nt Maven Dec 2019 #75
