As was the memo/pseudo-transcript (not 100% guaranteed as they are hand-typed, no recordings of calls are made any more in the US in the aftermath of Watergate) on the call between Presidents Trump and Zelenskyy[*]:

    finally found a whipping boy in the Ukraine where Trump was doing things that they were not, and thus were able to start impeachment in a way that they themselves would not also be guilty of.

    Not all Democrats are going to come out of this unscathed.

    Biden should be of some interest to you due to his widely memed creepy touching. Looks like the decision has been made to kick his ass to the curb in favor of Warren. After She Lost 3 years ago, it would be pretty unfortunate to nominate another gropey old white man with decades of baggage. So Warren will become the new Annointed One. The future is female.

    Good luck selling a candidate who got her start by engaging in identity fraud. It does seem that Warren is the anointed one more and more, but to think she doesn't have baggage Trump can use is myopic. Aside from her ethnicity issue, you also have her support -- the reason she went from GOP to DNC in fact -- for that spate of job killing trade deals in the 90s. If the Dems think Trump will ignore that, they've learned nothing.

      She does seem to have Wallstreet shaking in their boots.

        If Warren is a good politician, she is behind those stories.
