I haven't endorsed anyone for 2020 and probably won't. I like Beto; he ran an inspiring 2018 Senate campaign in TX. I also like that both Harris and Klobuchar are former prosecutors. Having a former prosecutor run against a flagrantly crony lawbreaker like Trump appeals to me.
Biden is considered a safe choice b/c he's a familiar face w/ exp. as VP. However, Biden also comes w/ decades-old baggage. He's tied to the Obama admin, which can be either an asset or a liability. Like HRC, Biden may not be viewed as a "change" candidate
Because there are so many Dem candidates running, I don't feel compelled to commit to a single candidate this early. Also, I would literally vote for any one of them over Trump. The past few years under Trump has been a f*cking nightmare.

Ironic for ppl to say they care about Russian interference in our election and whether Trump is compromised by Russia, while supporting an oppositional candidate who not only voted against all the sanctions against Russia but had Manafort’s associate as his 2016 chief strategist
That kind of irony is indicative of gross negligence & ignorance. They purport to care about Russian interference only in relation to Trump but ignore other dimensions of the story. Kremlin favors the candidate who voted against all the Russian sanctions
And it’s not “red scare” to point this out. It’s the reality. The Kremlin has been actively influencing Western elections, has been hacking and has a troll farm in St Petersburg where they attempt to rig and influence social media debates to favor candidates & circulate disinfo

Bernie benefits from the donor list he built in 2016--an email list he refused to share with the DNC.
Harris, Klobuchar & Warren are 1st-time presidential candidates.

When Bernie 1st launched his presidential campaign in 2015, he raised $1.5M in his first 24hrs; Harris matched that figure in her first 24hrs.

Bernie has an advantage b/c he ran in 2016.
washingtonpost.com/news/post-poli…
In 2015, Bernie raised $1.5M in his 1st 24hrs from 35k donors. washingtonpost.com/news/post-poli…

By comparison, last month, Harris raised the same amount in her first 24hrs but from 38k donors. wsj.com/articles/harri…

Bernie has a built-in advantage for 2020 b/c of his 2016 donor list.

Like Roger Stone, Paul Manafort and his wife were swingers. According to his daughter Andrea's hacked text messages, Manafort pressured his wife Kathleen to engage in group sex. Some of those encounters were filmed; Andrea had inadvertently found some of those recordings.
The National Enquirer briefly reported about Manafort's mistress in 2017, which led some pundits to believe that Trump and his sycophants were trying to hold something over Manafort's head. slate.com/news-and-polit…
Manafort's personal conduct is only relevant in the context of whether he is/was susceptible to kompromat/blackmail.

We've seen Trump and co's attempt to use the National Enquirer to publish compromising info to embarrass people like Bezos, for example.

Still find myself surprised by people who are extremely into politics without any concrete policy objectives per se, particularly on the Democratic side. It's basically fan culture.
"So and so seems like a nice person who means well" is definitely how normal people decide they like politicans in passing. But there's a subset of people who launch whole crusades on the basis of that feeling, and I still find it bizarre no matter how many times it happens.
Some of the anti-Sanders stuff is projection from people who can't understand politics beyond personalities. People who don't get that if Sanders backed away from Medicare for All tomorrow, he'd be tossed aside like a used tissue.

Of course Sirota is worried about #beto who raised
$69 million dollars for a senate race with no PACs.
And Beto who still has $10 million on hand.
Cuts into that Bern dollar machine.
Beto v Bernie is all Sirota is concerned about. And he doesn’t like these numbers.
Bern’s PAC % is 1.58
Beto’s PAC % is .11

Naturally Sirota is worried about the erosion of his meal ticket.

Beto O'Rourke believes healthcare is a right, so it's unacceptable that 4.3 million Texans are uninsured. He'll fight for universal healthcare; he'll fight to protect pre-existing conditions; he'll fight for us all. #TXSen #BetoForTexas #FlipTheSenate
Beto O'Rourke knows that immigrants helped build America. That's why he's for a humane immigration enforcement system and a path to citizenshp for hard working immigrants. The American Dream is big enough for all. #TXSen #BetoForTexas #FlipTheSenate
By working together & moving beyond party, @BetoORourke helped expand mental health care access for veterans. He knows our veterans should receive the care & dignity they have earned in their service to our country. #TXSen #BetoForTexas #FlipTheSenate

45 eased PBO RU sanctions to allow companies to do business w/ RU’s FSB, successor org to KGB

Let that sink in.

“Let’s be 1000% clear: if you worked w/ a hostile foreign power during your election, it's called TREASON.”

Schiff links 45 to the Mccaskill hacking

COLLUSION

Mueller can examine if a member of the Trump campaign & the RUs were “colluding,” & thus working together “in violation of US law.” In other words, according to DAG, collusion would be a crime.

:Former GOP Gov Christine Todd Whitman to Trump: “Step down”
💣EndGame3💣

Evidence in the possession of Mueller, incl highly confidential WH records & testimony by some of Trump’s own top aides, provides the strongest evidence to date implicating 45 in obstruction of justice.
