First thing is how many of the Dem candidates emphasize needing to defeat Trump. Getting Trump of office is a main goal. I guess they want to make him a one term (or less) President. But I have heard this morning, Sanders, Warren,Buttegieg, and Yang all running on the ability to beat Trump.

Warren wants to appoint a commission to investigate Trump after she wins. I guess we are on the way to becoming one of those countries in which the incoming President throws the outgoing President into jail. Yang’s line, not mine.

It seems like despite their upcoming defeat, Democrats will spend the next five years trying to unseat Trump. What a waste of energy.

And then they will spend the next 2-3 years trying to get even with him for winning. So look for Trumpmania to last until 2027 or,so.

Edit: watching the round table discussion on This Week ABC, with three of the four panelists Democrats, and all three emphasize that the important thing is beat Trump. Rahm Emmanuel and another panelist emphasized that no matter who wins the Democratic nomination, if all the factions come together they can beat Trump. The message is is, “we don’t care who we elect as long as we beat Trump”.

Re-edit: Andrew Gillum, on CNN, says the most important thing is “Who can beat Donald Trump?”

Are you surprised that a political party is interested in winning an election with whatever candidate is nominated to represent their party???
