See that other crook Darrell Issa the guy who brown noses to Trump and who would not meet constituents instead he hid on the roof of his office has decided to run in place of that scumbag Hunter.

Issa ended up resigning when all of the people "harassed" him hahaha!

Incidentally a buddy of mine who is not a citizen yet got a letter from Issa asking for donations. He cannot even vote. Issa was one of those complaining about illegal voters yet he is soliciting non citizens.
 
In my opinion, if she wins the nomination, we lose the WH. She is smart and has good policies, no question about it, but people will focus on stuff like this, and the whole "pretendian" thing (she does have more native american DNA than the average Amercian, which is what the DNA test definitively showed...it's more that she went way beyond what this means in terms of identity--there is a huge difference in what your DNA says, and what you can claim in terms of identity).

Let me get this straight. A woman who may have exagerrated ONE ASPECT of her heritage(like 75% of people in this country have some miniscule Native American blood in them in one way or another) but the person currently occupying the office who lies about 4-40 times a day is going to stay BECAUSE the woman exagerrated on THIS ONE PART???

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Let me be clear: Warren would make an excellent president, and I agree with her policies more than most other candidates.

But, strategically, she will galvanize the anti-woman, sexist, [fill in other pejorative terms here] to vote against her. Just like Hilary. If you have baggage and you're a white conservative guy who's rich then this stuff doesn't seem to matter. But being a liberal woman and running for president, even if you're white, it is still a different venue from being a man. America is structurally sexist.

Also, we need to keep in mind that if Bernie loses the Democratic nomination he might run as an independent. 2000 all over again.

Considering he has said over and over again that Trump is the most dangerous president we've had Bernie isn't going to run independent.
 
What is going on over there??

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/01/magazine/rachel-maddow-trump.html

"Recently, I went to dinner at the home of Rebecca Kee, a preschool principal in San Francisco who turned to Maddow in her depression and confusion over the 2016 election. I brought a bottle of rosé, and she poured it into glasses decorated with charms that featured Russia-investigation figures on one side and characters from “Star Trek: The Next Generation” on the other. I sipped from the Hope Hicks/Beverly Crusher glass, and we watched Maddow’s show over veggie enchiladas. “I think of her as a news doula: You know the news is going to be painful no matter what, so we might as well have someone who helps us survive it,” Kee told me. Last year, Kee had a Maddow-themed birthday party, at which her friends and her two young sons put on big black glasses and slicked their hair to the side. Also in attendance was a life-size cardboard cutout of Maddow, which is now in storage so as not to startle guests.

After Rebecca Kee bought her Maddow cardboard cutout, she got a Robert Mueller one, too. For a time she would sit him in her front window, posing him near speech bubbles that she wrote herself. But after the real Mueller filed his report and failed to step into the role she had imagined for him, she tucked him away in the closet with Maddow. Now her car is decorated with Elizabeth Warren bumper stickers."
