So just theorizing in my head, if trump/pence were impeached and we ended up with Pres. Pelosi, what are the odds the dems can rally behind her enough to totally gently caress Bernie? Pretty high right?

Nah, her halo is already starting to wane and if she had a mic in front of her all day every day absolutely everyone would realize how few shits she gives about people. She would never win a tough election at this point

i'm sure the 20 or so non-bernie candidates who have no substantial policy differences and are only running for office to satiate their craven lust for power will just drop out and endorse pelosi for office in 2020

I guess I just see !polls! Still giving Biden favorable numbers despite him being the absolute worst shows that recognition is a huge thing. If she was the “president after trump” and if she VP’d Warren or Buttigieg she’d probably have a pretty good chance no?

Pelosi is the centrists' dream president, she's bluedog as gently caress and she wouldn't have any campaign promises to keep because she'd be unelected

and if she gained the office through impeachment she could just run a reelection campaign on continuing to punish the GOP for Ukrainegate without having to make any more campaign promises

i don't think pelosi has any interest in being prez

and i think many people would only see her as an interim president since the election is coming up very soon

edit: also, most importantly, she's never going to be president in the first place

Maybe. My own personal theory Is neither did Biden but they dug his corpse up to make sure Bernie didn’t get too far and LOL at that so far. Don’t see why she couldn’t be pressured the same way. Hard not

After the removal of either the president or the vice president, whichever one is left gets to nominate a new vice president, who'd then be voted on by both chambers. Of course, in the bizarro world where two thirds of the senate would vote to remove both Trump and Pence, there'd be a legitimacy crisis over the nominated successor, though you could see a :decorum: scenario where Trump is removed and the Senate tells Pence to nominate Grassley (currently fourth in line) in a deal with Pelosi.

ok

but its never getting that far

the republicans will never publicly turn on their own like that because it will tarnish the image of their party, affecting all of them

the only way to force them out of power is via the electorate which is why the republicans are so keen on gerrymandering

Ady's life will not amount to nothing, because Bernie's gonna win, and we're gonna pass M4A for real. We're going to win it for him, if not with him.

So in what way will his life have been relevant to that victory? And if it will not be, then how exactly has it not amounted to nothing in this context? In my view, he's actively opposing that victory.

yeah if pelosi ever ended up first in the line of succession somehow she would definitely give it away for basically no concessions

It's wild that everyone just lets Warren get away with her comments about leaving the Republicans being that she disagreed with their financial policies. Not the AIDs crisis, not their move the Christian Right, and not their wild racism. It's just "economics"

that reasoning is music to democrats' ears. it proves that democrats are the Smart Person party that is the natural home for professional-managerial class white people whose only priorities for any politician are their home value, stock market portfolio, and lowering taxes.

by the time the senate somehow kicks out both trump and pence [not going to happen but hypotheically], it will be jan 2020 at the earliest. pelosi will be unable to register for the primaries in many states as it will be past the filing deadline, and at a massive disadvantage in the rest of the states. she could theoretically be appointed by superdelegates for a second term if nobody finishes the primary with a clear majority, but other people (bloomberg, deval, hillary clinton) are going to fight tooth and nail for superdelegates in that case.

I bet Ady Barkan's endorsement was lined up a while ago. Wonder how he really responded to Warren's 'updated' plan.

I imagine he just naively trusts Warren like most other Warren supporters and honestly believes that her plan is somehow the best way to pass MfA. These people basically trust Warren in the same way a child trusts their mother or something. Her moral virtue and competence is patently obvious to them. This is why they think Sanders supporters are being misogynist; they can't conceive of why Warren's virtue and brilliance wouldn't be as obvious to other people as it is to them.
