Hillary Clinton speaks at the Harris County Democratic Party luncheon in Houston, Texas “If Texans voted at the same percentage as Californians, this state would already be blue,” Hillary Clinton says at Houston event. “That’s just a fact. The real kind, not the alternative variety. #HillaryClinton #Houston #Texas To turn Texas blue, Hillary Clinton says, “It’s not enough to cross our fingers and say a prayer and hope for a perfect candidate. “We have to commit to the hard, essential work of organizing.” Citing women’s suffrage and civil rights movements, Hillary Clinton says that if you’ve “ever wondered what you have been doing during those defining moments that we read about in history books…the answer is what you’re doing right now.”
The right wing doctored video of Nancy Pelosi allegedly slurring and stumbling over words is a stark reminder of when they did this during the 2016 campaign to Hillary. They will continue to work from the same playbook in 2020. But, I must say, for someone who is supposed to be dead, Hillary sure gave a barnburner of a speech yesterday in Houston. Her continued good health is the best refutation of these health smears towards others there could possibly be.

I realized last night when I saw comments on social media about Jerry Nadler than this is not limited to women or presidential candidates. I do not want to repeat the “story” I saw unfolding. It was extraordinary.

Watching AM Joy’s excellent two hours on impeachment, I had a sudden revelation of why Nancy Pelosi is slow walking the process of impeachment, something which has mystified me for weeks. It’s not the fear that Republicans in the Senate will acquit him just b4 the 2020 election thus giving him a supposedly “clean” bill of health. It’s the more worrisome possibility that in their cynicism, Republicans will decide to play their “Get Out of Jail Free” card–Mike Pence. I think people underestimate what a relief this would be for large swaths of white America who only want a “normal” Republican to vote for and would see that in Pence and “Mother”, even though Pence, as a theocrat, poses a whole different threat than the open fascism of Trump. It’s entirely possible that the reason Paul Manafort chose Pence as the VP nominee was that he saw in Pence the “impeachment insurance” he knew Donald Trump would need sooner or later. I want an impeachment inquiry, but this realization gives me pause. Nancy Pelosi is correct to be concerned about this possible outcome. People attacking her need to hit the pause button and think about this.

I agree. I have seen a lot of comments from people who think they both would be impeached together. In their dreams. I think these are people who have never seen the process.

I wonder what they imagine will be the grounds for impeaching Pence who has been careful to keep a safe distance from most of Trump’s 💩 show. He and Mother have just been sitting back waiting for their chance.

Something involving Bannon having been the one who suggested him as running mate. People have very active imaginations.
