Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumIs there a candidate that has express going after Trump financially and legally if elected?
I'll be honest, I have not fully reviewed at all the candidates yet or watched all town halls primaries. However, I don't see many "flame-thrower" even in this gigantic field. I do see almost all candidates discuss about this administration terrible policies and ways to reverse them. There are some candidates talk about impeachment from the Mueller investigation and some minor accusation of being a racist. However, I'm looking for a candidate that will take on this bully of a president personally and financially. Is there a candidate that said that they will investigate or cooperate in all investigations committed by Trump, his family, and his administration? Is there a candidate that has stated that take will make it their goal to reveal all of Trump's financial history and crimes? Is there a candidate willing to call him an idiot on camera and not sugarcoat it?
Yes, there are so many other issues that the president has to deal with, however, I do not want a candidate to push aside the crimes of this administration. I am tired of the Democratic party being push overs and negotiate to right wing demands "so that the country can heal." There might be a candidate like that and I have not paid that much attention. If so, I'll be voting for them. Please tell me there is a candidate like that.

(22,878 posts)no matter how bad they have been.. Trump knows that and exploits it.. if Trump or his family does time.. it will be because the state got him on financial crimes.. and Trump knows he is in trouble there.. the thing he wants most in the world is a second term and run the time out on some of those charges he will face once he is a private citizen again..
So know what your priorities are and research the candidates.. you will find the person that reflects your philosophy the closest..

(32,731 posts)is hilarious and I would love to take part.... but here's my take:
Imprisoning trump shouldn't be a campaign issue, but we have to get it done. If that makes sense.
It's very important to me that the candidates speak loudly and clearly in support of impeachment, but I think that's as far as it should go for now. I expect (hope) that trump will have already been punished and in prison by Jan 20, 2021, but if not, then yes, I want the new president to *discreetly* make sure the DOJ locks trump & his traitorous pals up.
