    Right, I quickly thought the last part was the point, or perhaps it is what I think is going on.

    That says something about the crowd you run with.

    Senator McConnell has already said they would take up impeachment in the Senate and that they were Constitutionally required to do so.

    I must say, he's growing on me. What an impressive person. Rhodes Scholar. Veteran. Articulate and super smart. How anyone, even Maris , can listen to him and not be impressed, even if you disagree with him, is baffling (although maybe Maris is a bad example as he is, by his own admission, a caricature of a real person.)

    He's got Bobby Kennedy charisma and is very clear spoken..not likely to get rattled

    I may have to give him more time but so far as with just about everyone in the Democratic debates outside of maybe Yang, he does nothing for me. :dunno:
    I think the problem is currently right now their speaking to the left and that's about it because they need the nomination, when they get to the were speaking to the whole country portion of the election process they may do more for me.
    Sure he's an impressive "person" most of them are that's why they're there because they have accomplishments that 99% + of people don't have.

    Not everyone is impressed by vague platitudes and applause break statements. Some people want actual, specific, tangible policies layed out. Pete is severely lacking any visceral content. He can speak for minutes on end and literally make zero points. He says the same bland, make everyone happy statements we’ve heard from every other establishment jackass with no decent policy ideas.

    But yes, he is eloquent in his nonsense.

    And I can’t say I disagree with him, because it’s hard to disagree with a person who doesn’t say anything.

    read his website...he has things to say..whether you agree or not is your choice but he's not just a talking head as you seem to think..I don't think he can win, but he's an impressive guy and has accomplishments beyond your view that he's some shallow sheeple. He's at least an adult in the room facing a childish incumbent president.

    well at least “eloquent in his nonsense” it better than “ineloquent” in his nonsense like the bumbling idiot now.

    Actually, his resume is impressive when compared to the other candidates, not just to the general population.

    Pete just seems like Biden to me. But hey, he is young and gay so he feels fresh!

    Are you willing to make a wager on that last wild eyed claim? Not certain enough to steal my money? Okay, how about a gentleman's bet? Still not certain enough?

    So, Andrew mentioned the possibility of a Biden/Yang ticket?

    I don't think that's at all likely. Probably Biden is almost as likely to select Don Jr. as Yang.

    I gotta think this fluff also. At this point if Yang was talking about being a running mate he would be conceding that he wont win the DNC nomination. He is still talking big on winning the nomination and acting like he will, and as a Yang supporter I honestly don't think I could support Biden even with Yang as his running mate unless I had no other choice. I think most Yang supporters would agree with me.
