The Impeachment Thread

[AM64]

Shows how far the left has moved that Biden is considered a moderate

And in their case "moderate" is something like halfway between screaming left off the grid radicals and what they believe is "middle". Somebody is either going to have to start a dem revolution or a new party of sane people who believe in what the dems used to believe.

Romney acquitted himself well here.

Hard to watch that and conclude he did anything other than vote his conscious as dictated by his oath to God.

Everyone should watch it.

 

[Orangeburst]

Manchin is probably fine. Sinema has been borderline and would continue to be so regardless of vote. In the end, you gotta stick with the party or they'll primary yo ass.

Yea no pressure

Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema faces censure vote over Trump suport: "We want Democrats to vote like Democrats and not Republicans"

Why would you think not all Senators are doing the same?

 

[CagleMtnVol]

He's 72 (I think) so he probably won't run again in 2024.

Like Romney does he make it to 2024 without being recalled? That would more than likely be another term of President Trump.

 

[Volswami]

He's 72 (I think) so he probably won't run again in 2024.

I think Manchin, Romney and Sinemas' vote would be different if they were up for reelection in 2020 not 2024

Who is the pressure coming from?

 

[n_huffhines]

By your own words it'd make no sense for Biden to pick him as a running mate. Pairing up moderates is not a winning strategy for either party

Yeah, it'd be a bad pick for Biden. I didn't say otherwise

lol, yeah I'm sure that's it

Just a sneaky suspicion.

We watched he's a po

Sinema will also vote to convict on both articles, so that likely means no democrats will vote to acquit.

Dem senators want to be able to sleep at night and not worry about waking up to find themselves dead.

Romney is a sleeze ball politician and if you believe anything that comes out of his mouth you're naive. He didn't lose any sleep, this is political payback to Trump because poor whittle mitt didn't get to be the SoS.

You're probably right.

 

[volfanjustin]

 

[n_huffhines]

but not the left - recall how he was painted in 2012.

abandon the left voters for the middle? (hypothetical Mitt as VP choice)

I think you're a bernie sanders, you gain more from the middle than you lose from the left, especially going up against trump

 

[newyorkvol]

You're probably right.

I think their vote would be different if it actually mattered, but they had 13-15 other votes covering them

Were the 52 who voted to acquit, less sleaze ball, more sleaze ball, or exactly equal sleaze ball?

 

[Orange_Crush]

Romney is going to run for POTUS again in 2024.

He'll need to run as an I, I think. He just burned bridges with the electorate.

 

[volfanjustin]

We watched he's a po

I didn't

 

[volinbham]

Just a sneaky suspicion.

or partisan blinders but whatever

 

[volfanjustin]

So great hearing the adults in the room-not guilty

 

[volinbham]

I think you're a bernie sanders, you gain more from the middle than you lose from the left, especially going up against trump

agree - I was talking about Biden but agree with this if Sanders

That said, I can't see Sanders going moderate; he's a movement and I doubt he'd want to dilute it.

If he's the nominee this will be a really interesting choice given his age and recent heart attack

 

[volfanjustin]

Well dems/socialists your sorry asses gave it your best shot. Better luck next time

Thank god this is over

 

[VolStrom]

It's more about the partisan sleeze balls that brought this up on grounds of politics and continue to try and commit a coup and overrule the will of the people.
