Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumI want to pull all our candidates close and surround them with support..
I have no idea in the end (of course I am hoping Biden) but no idea who will get the final nod to go to the general.. but who ever gets this nod from us, the Democratic voters.. we will need to all stand up to a stiff wind of lies about them.. VP Biden is a tough bird.. and he can withstand the withering lies that will becoming from the right.. but he will also have me as a full support as best as I can do on a local level.. and that will be true if someone else wins.. I will stand with them.. this is ugly beyond belief.. that a President of the United States is attacking his opponents, enlisting other countries to try and dig up dirt, coercing them if they do not by withholding funds for their defense from his buddy Vladimir Putin.. (is this what Trump promised Putin if Putin would throw down support for him.. the Ukraine??)
I do not think for second that Trump does not want to be impeached.. He wants it more than anything.. I think he sees it as a way to take back the house.. get the right all riled up and marching again, and vote out all our people from 2016.. I see the pattern and the plan.. he gets back the house, holds the senate.. he outlasts the charges.. and gets off free, as he has always managed to do in NY.. My mama did not raise a fool..
But we have come to that point that we have to take a stand.. we have to impeach.. it might mean we will lose the house.. but if we do not push back our democracy as we know it will be gone.. and maybe forever..
We must pull together for all our people, and all our candidates.. and the House.... We are going to war fellow Ents.. going to war.. to save the country.. the democracy.. everything we stand for..and our weapon is the strongest thing we can possibly use.. the VOTE!

(10,826 posts)McCarthy just stated that Pelosi hasn't started anything new, that the inquiry/investigation has being going on all along, and it's time to put the:
Public Over Politics.
It's a wonder he didn't gag on those words.
As for the Democratic Party and our candidates, yes we need to unite around all of them to press the point that Democrats are defending the country, the Constitution and the democratic process. If Trump wants the impeachment process then I would parry with an old adage:
Be careful what you wish for because it frequently bites you in the ass.
At the moment we have over 180 House members backing impeachment. Nancy Pelosi had the numbers and the moment. It begins now for all of us to be on the same page. Impeachment is the remedy to a lawless, incoherent, arrogant fool who believes that he can get away with ANYTHING. The focus should be entirely on him, nothing else. We need to avoid the gaslighting and distraction, the endless carping.
This is, indeed, War. And we must, absolutely must win. Joe Biden called this out early: Donald Trump is an existential threat to the country, the Republic. Let's all take that banner, all of us regardless of who we support. Not for Joe Biden's sake. But for the sake of the country and our future. The mantra should belong to everyone as the battle proceeds.
