Savvy move by Pelosi to keep the two most progressive candidates from campaigning.

That cannot be a reason for the plausibility

It will be interesting to see what smears the DNC comes up with to knock him off the top, so they can advance the chosen candidate.

I would guess a moderate would have the best chance in 2020, who ever that is. Tulsi as a VP would be interesting

I have a feeling that Trump's streak of winning the Democrat debates will hold.

 

I so love Best Korean press releases.

 

 

The hyperbole is just hysterical.

Oh no! Now the North Koreans are interfering in the 2020 elections!

Schiff will dispatch his crack(head) team of researchers to find out Trump’s collusion with Kim.

In a way too early prediction, I think it will be Mayor Pete against Trump.

 

He's been the best so far at not saying anything people are paying attention to and not doing anything illegal.

 

He's got the best strategy.  Keep the crazy in check enough to get through the primaries.

  Mayor Pete's sexual orientation does not play with certain blocks of the traditional Democratic voter base.  It truly will be desperate times if he is nominated at the convention.

Right. “Can I tell you about my husband?” doesn’t sound like a very strong campaign slogan. Just sayin.

The dems would prefer to have the Senate dismiss the charges so they can say it was a coverup. If the House impeaches, a thorough trial in the Senate is what the GOP would prefer. In that scenario the dems will be crushed.

Several Republican Senators would relish the ability to call Brennan, Clapper, Biden, Obama, Biden Jr., Schiff, Ciaramella, and a host of other seditious bastards to the stand and put them under oath. Cocaine Mitch would have a field day with the rules by just following Schiff’s precedent. The Dems would be absolutely destroyed.

There's something appealing about not only Hillary not being the first woman president, but Bill not being the first "First Gentleman" or whatever they'd call him.

Tulsi will not happen. The DNC was out to sink her from her from the beginning (literally, the DNC smears started against her the week she announced,) and she took the original chosen one, Kamala, out of the running.

 

While Mayor Pete has victim credentials (being a gay veteran), he'll lose a lot of the minority vote. Blacks and Hispanics aren't typically fans of gays. That's not even counting the loss of black support he suffered when he gave an inadequate response to a white cop shooting a black man in his city a few months ago.

 

Though he's not as batschiff crazy as Warren and Bernie, he's not a moderate.
