Majorian posted:[Thing] doesn't matter to me one iota, and it shouldn't matter to you or any right-thinking voter VitalSigns posted:Wow where else are we going to find a Democrat capable of winning in Illinois, real strong resume right there Teddybear posted:All firing Mueller would do is that the Democrats would at minimum interview him extensively about the investigation and much more likely hire him as a special counsel to resume the investigation.

theflyingorc posted:It wouldn't happen that smoothly and would delay a lot of good things happening Of course it wouldn't happen that smoothly, but here's the thing: I'm really, really not convinced that any of the candidates on the docket right now could beat Trump other than Bernie. And that really needs to be objective number one. So I'd much rather roll the dice with Bernie and face the possibility that he could become incapacitated during his first time, than run someone who I think will likely lose and give Trump a second term.

The quotation marks around for cause in that sentence are doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Flip Yr Wig posted:Trump seems to have come to the conclusion that he could only do a Saturday Night Massacre after the midterms. Sessions supports the Trump agenda and is fine with them killing the Mueller investigation, and figured that this timing makes the most sense for everyone involved. But doesn't 'rocking the boat' now that Dems control the house just add more fuel to their fire as ammunition to begin investigations?

Paracaidas posted:Evergreen Maj quote. I'll admit I overstated things there, but I think people really are too quick to see Bernie's age as a deal-breaker - or more of a deal-breaker than the other likely Democratic candidates' issues.

Don't worry if they arrest Hillary Clinton, she has 8 new robot masters set up on a timer to activate and break her out of prison.

corn in the bible posted:they maybe felt resigning before might affect turnout for the reason that it 100% would Sure but that's why you do it months ago, it's not like Trump hating Sessions is some new development, and in Trumptime doing it in say June might as well have been doing it during the reign of Constantine the Great.

DandyLion posted:But doesn't 'rocking the boat' now that Dems control the house just add more fuel to their fire as ammunition to begin investigations? Sure, but Congress can't issue indictments and they can't create an independent counsel. Trump is way more scared of prosecutors than he is of impeachment.
