Jeff Flake sees the handwriting on the wall. He does not want to challenge President Pence for the GOP nomination in 2020.

Flake passes on primary challenge to Trump in 2020 politi.co/2FUPPu4 via @politico
@politico At this rate Trump could be out by the end of 2019. The GOP by forcing a resignation/ impeachment could give Pence the advantage of incumbency going into 2020.
@politico I sure won’t vote for Pence. He’s in this scandal up to his eyeballs. He’s just not dumb enough to incriminate himself on Twitter.

A single payer option for health insurance is not "socialist" any more than public education is "socialist."
@FOXNews distorts facts with help from a few on the far left who embrace the term "socialist" because they don't know any better.

Socialism is where government owns major industries not where government provides basic services.
Of course you can incorrectly use the term ":socialist" to describe everything government does. If so, the biggest "socialist" program is the Department of Defense.
If you don't want a single payer health insurance plan or anything else to succeed in America just call it socialist. Then look for some hard left socialists who will agree with you and give them maximum air time.
Works like a charm....

It's time to stop and think.
Talk of abolishing private health insurance is a sure way to lose elections.
An optional single payer plan with sliding scale premiums available to every American is a sure way to win.

If the single payer plan is cheaper, people will choose it. "Cutting out the middle man" is smart, but politicians will LOSE if they talk about abolishing private health insurance plans that some voters like.
Funding high quality public schools and universities does not require abolishing private schools and universities. Same for health insurance. Let people choose. But the single payer public option should be available to every American citizen and at an affordable cost.

Of 235 Democrats in the U.S. House, 3 take up most of the airtime on @foxnews.
Why? Because @foxnews wants us to believe that they are “typical” Democrats. Never mind learning anything about the other 232.

@FoxNews One of those is the new Congresswoman from my district @AngieCraigMN who is focusing on doing her job instead of claiming to speak for the entire Party and getting attention from @FoxNews.
@FoxNews And now @foxnews is one by one seeking to destroy the reputations of each potential presidential candidate.
Warren - the DNA test
Harris - Old Willie Brown stories
Clinton - a different Willie and of course her email,
Biden — the old plagiarism allegation

GOP closes in on @SenatorHeitkamp knockout — and control of the Senate politi.co/2IPfR0j via @politico
Heitkamp is down in public polls by a significant margin, and most political handicappers think Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) is the favorite to beat her. If she goes down, Democrats would basically have to run the table in every other battleground race to take the chamber.
Heitkamp needs to mount a dramatic comeback in order for Democrats to have any shot at taking the Senate. It’s a long shot in any case, but nearly impossible if she loses.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

National politics correspondent for Newsweek, Nina Burleigh, with a fun find on a TV above the bar at the Trump Hotel DC bit.ly/2E37QRR
Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

⁉️WHAT⁉️

House #GOP investigating contact btwn FBI General Counsel James Baker & reporter @DavidCornDC who 1st broke the #SteeleDossier story.🤬

Baker ALSO believed to be one of the FBI officials w/whom @Comey shared details of his Trump meetings.🤨

politi.co/2zhVlio
Three FBI officials — Andrew McCabe, Jim Rybicki & James Baker — previously ID’d as being able to corroborate Trump's loyalty pledge to @Comey before he was fired.🤨

Now, they’re ALL being *attacked* by Republicans‼️🤬

#TrumpRussia🇷🇺

vox.com/policy-and-pol…
Baker was reassigned w/in the FBI, but the reason was unclear.🤨

Corn DENIES that Baker was a source: "I'm not going to discuss my sources. But in order to prevent the dissemination of inaccurate information, I will say that James Baker was not my source for this story.”🤔
