American Politics Thread

The Massachusetts lawmaker officially overtook former Vice President Joe Biden Tuesday in RealClearPolitics' 2020 polling average, polling at 26.6% as compared with Biden's 26.4%. Warren is also notably the only candidate whose polling has steadily gone up throughout the primary, while Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, who holds a 14.6% polling average, have seen their popularity fluctuate and go down from their starting highs.

Warren's polling win came courtesy of a Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday, in which 29% of respondents supported Warren as compared with 26% for Biden. Sanders earned 16% of the vote, and no other 2020 candidate topped 4%.
 

Unconscionable.

Not really surprising. Trump's withdrawal of US troops and the subsequent Turkish invasion will lead to chaos in Rojava, causing another refugee crisis and ISIS infiltration of Europe. Trump is doing Putin's job in destabilizing the European Union, resurecting ISIS and ensuring right-wing populist can continue to rail against immigrants and Muslims. All of this is by design, not coincidence.

Meanwhile, even Fox News can't hide Trump's unpopularity.
 
Welp, not quite the result I was hoping for. Edwards goes to a runoff against businessman Eddie Rispone. Expect Trump and the GOP to zero in on the LA Gov race for the next month.
 
Sht I can't quote TPM without saying I support trump
Yep, it is a strange that in a pokemon forum, with worldwide members, the 'main thread' topic is about 2020 EUA Elections/National Politics.
Well, the thread was once, um... very trending
Also, EUA?
I'd like to see America hold a election for once that isn't down to one or two democrats and republicans.
Yeah, that is DEFINITELY not this one.
 

Significant cracks are already showing up, and the election is still one year away.

Trump is already behaving completely unhinged over the impeachment, how much worse will he get until then?
 

William Taylor's testimony was absolutely devastating for Trump.

It's now certain that the House will impeach Trump for his crimes. Now we'll see how much Senate GOP members will be willing to go down with the ship as election year nears.
 
The Trump effect continues in Louisiana!

That's Southern for "go fuck yourself, Trump".

Dems are now also guaranteed a seat at the 2021 redistricting table in Louisiana, where it's absolutely possible to draw a second African-American majority district (current map is 5R-1D).

The Louisiana GOP has also lost it's ability to break the governors veto due to losing it's supermajority.
 
Sooo... is anyone watching the impeachment hearings?

Sondland flipped and threw Trump and his cult under the bus. This is an utter disaster for Trump's presidency. The only question now remaining is whether the senate GOP is willing to go down with Trump to the bottom of the ocean come next November.

Oh, and Mike Pompeo is about to resign. lol.

The victorious Edwards and Beshear with some advice for the national Democratic leadership.

 
The OP needs to be updated. Since the last update, Deval Patrick and Michael Bloomberg entered the race, while Mark Sanford, Tim Ryan, Beto O'Rourke, and Wayne Messam had all dropped out.
