Go get 'em Petey!!
You don’t accept help from foreign governments, especially at a moment when America is reeling from the fact that our democracy was successfully attacked and interfered with in the last election by a hostile foreign power
No argument here… but let’s not forget that the blame does not all fall to tRump here. McConnell and the entire GOP have a hand in this attitude too. If there had been any push back on tRump up to now, he wouldn’t feel he can get away with this kind of shit.
“It doesn’t require the Oval Office putting any kind of thumb on the scale.”
I don’t think Kamala meant it. She said “I believe that they would have no choice and that they should, yes…There has to be accountability."
That’s bascially the same as what Pete said.
Man, it’s something how often he puts his finger right on it. The whole Trump saga has been a nightmarish blend of reality and unreality. There are days when you’re literally struggling to believe seven impossible things before breakfast.
I’d like to get every Democrat, especially Biden, on the record as to whether they would allow their AG/DoJ to follow the trail of evidence and uphold the law with regards to Trump. Buttigieg’s answer was spot on.
Absolutely cannot let this go like we did with the corrupt Wall Street bankers back in 2008.
His key words: “prosecution should come from the DoJ not the Oval Office.” That says it all.
Pete was just on MTP too. Every one of his answers was excellent and spot on.
Speaking of on the record, I’d also like to hear Biden’s answer on whether he’d add more justices if the Dems won three branches.
You would know better than me, but, among many things, Buttigieg would have been a brilliant journalist or pundit. He has a remarkable ability to present complex ideas in simple and concise language so that it’s eminently clear to all regardless of educational status.
If not President, there’s still a place for a guy like this somewhere in the top levels of government and/or the Democratic Party.
I sure hope the winning candidate picks their cabinet from their opponents. Looking forward to that. Not looking forward to the awful mess they will inherit.
Yes, although I’m a Warren fan and want to see her as Pres, if she loses, make her Treasury Secretary.
The kid is articulate and says all the right things.
Only caveat being that we don’t want to lose Senate seats. For example, Massachusetts has a Republican governor who would get to appoint Warren’s replacement.
Trump, like many forms of lower animals, does not think but reacts to what seems to be a threat.
He does not know, nor does he have the ability to know or understand,he just does it
Two Republicans are retiring in states without Democratic challengers. That would seem to be political malfeasance. Kansas has a Democratic governor for goodness sake.
I thought the same thing. Tapper was trying to drum up a fight between the candidates.
Must admit Buttigieg is impressive.
I once voiced concerns, that the gay-factor would be a handicap for him,
It may still be, but consider Leo Varadkar, the Irish Taoiseach, who got elected, openly gay and with an Indian father, in a rather conservative Ireland. I will give him a chance.
For 145 days then special election is required. About all that would mean is the person is a short term incumbent.
Senator Professor Warren would, i’ll enthusiastically agree, would be a valuable asset in any Dem administration, but:
Can’t afford to lose the Senate seat for anything less than the position of POTUS (repugnican governor chooses her replacement).
Rather see Senator Warren take over Senate leadership spot from Schumer.
