Qualifying poll for primary debates?

There are already 14 candidates who have qualified. 
Would be 15 if Eric Stallwell breaks 1% two more times. 

So apparently all you need to do to qualify for the debates is garner 1% or more in three different polls, coming from a list of 18 different pollsters. The hard part, might just be getting the pollsters to add your name.

Not sure if they are going to set up the two debate system that the Republicans used in 2016 (top ten in the first tier, and everyone else in a second tier) or just go with everyone on one stage. Of course, nobody wanted to be part of the J.V. debate and even a strong performance there did not guarantee you much of a jump in the polls.

Overall, the GOP debates were fun largely because of Donald Trump. The total ability of Democrats to be complete clowns (Crazy Bernie, Beto, Pocahontas, Spartacus, etc...) en-mass might make these even more entertaining.

On topic because his approval ratings are at an all time low.

The total ability of Democrats to be complete clowns (Crazy Bernie, Beto, Pocahontas, Spartacus, etc..your descent into puppetry is accelerating.

Poll: Trump approval sinks 5 points after Mueller report, tying all-time low.

President Donald Trump’s approval rating has dropped 5 points, equaling his presidency’s low-water mark, since last week’s release of the special counsel report into the 2016 election, according to a new POLITICO/Morning Consult poll.


Only 39 percent of voters surveyed in the new poll, which was conducted Friday through Sunday, approve of the job Trump is doing as president. That is down from 44 percent last week and ties Trump’s lowest-ever approval rating in POLITICO/Morning Consult polling — a 39 percent rating in mid-August 2017, in the wake of violence in Charlottesville, Va.

Nearly 6 in 10 voters, 57 percent, disapprove of the job Trump is doing.

President (Psycho).

Sorry to say but @foxandfriends is by far the best of the morning political shows on television. It rightfully has BY FAR the highest ratings, not even close. Morning Psycho (Joe), who helped get me elected in 2016 by having me on (free) all the time, has nosedived, too Angry...

I wonder if the New York Times will apologize to me a second time, as they did after the 2016 Election. But this one will have to be a far bigger & better apology. On this one they will have to get down on their knees & beg for forgiveness-they are truly the Enemy of the People!

Roger...

I think it would be difficult to declare that any process crime (whether it be Bill Clinton, Scooter Libby, or George Papadapoulos) is a threat to America.


But the REALITY is that there was no Trump/Putin conspiracy. They did not conspire to steal an election, start WWIII, or to prep for the Zombie apocalypse. There is no "threat to America" here. That has been debunked by the very person everyone on your side declared would find the smoking guns.

22 months and 30 million dollars to tell you there was no evidence of conspiracy by the Trump team and Russia to steal any elections. A wild and crazy paranoid accusation is only valid if it is real. Trump Russia conspiracy was never real. You need to accept that.


So the ONLY legitimate actual real questions are about the two process crimes.

Clinton was guilty of the underlying crime of sexual harassment (at least according to his $900K settlement). He did perjure himself, he did tamper with witnesses, and he abuse his power, and did obstruct Justice. And the Independent Prosecutor in that case did not hedge, punt, or tell us that the law was too complicated to make a case. He flat out stated that Clinton would have been indicted had he not been immune as acting President.

Trump was not formally accused by the Special Counsel of anything. There was no statement that they would have indicted him if he was not President. Mueller makes it quite clear that too many questions regarding the law and fact remained for him to make a clear judgement that there was an actual crime.

None of the "potential" issues that they brought up were normal process crimes that are routinely brought against people. In fact, the only one of the ten items on the list that I have seen charged was the one regarding Cohen claiming he was encouraged to "stick to the story" when talking to prosecutors. That could be seen as witness tampering, but Cohen didn't make the claim about Trump, he made it about McGahn (who denies it). As far as I know, nobody has ever been indicted because someone "else" was accused of a crime. Certainly not when the allegation is a he said, she said, and the accuser is a convicted liar (literally).


So stop the pearl clutching, Roger. Trump firing the FBI director for cause, tweeting nasty things about Cohen, or got angry about a bogus investigation into alleged actions he didn't commit... does not constitute a threat to our country.

What's a threat is a runaway FBI who decided that the law, constitution, laws, and regulations were below them. But I will reserve my full judgement on that one until we all see the Inspector General reports on the subject.

C.H. Truth said...

To be clear, some will argue that certain crimes are prosecuted (eg: witness intimidation) and that you could argue that certain actions by the President could be defined as "witness intimidation".

But the question isn't whether or not others have been indicted, prosecuted, or found guilty of witness intimidation... it's whether others have ever been indicted for that crime for the "same actions".

Generally witness intimidation involves a threat, not a negative tweet. So the point to be made here is whether or not public statements made on social media that did not involve an actual threat has ever been seen as witness intimidation by other prosecutors in other cases.

Has the case of witness intimidation ever been made in court for someone who insulted someone else after they testified. Is it a crime to call someone a "rat" or state that you thought that they were lying? Unless there is a gag order, lawyers and accused people declare their innocence and question their accusers all the time (think Jussie Smollett).

Was Jussie Smollett guilty of obstruction because declared himself innocent and suggested that the police and other investigators were being unfair to him because he was black or gay? Isn't that his constitutional right to make a public statement and deny being a criminal (even when everyone knew he was one) and make up some defense (even though we all knew it was bullshit)?

William Barr was right to reject ANY allegations of criminal acts against the President that are not well established criminal actions. We cannot allow prosecutors in high profile political cases to make up new forms of process crimes on the fly. Especially not when most of the issues that they seemed to take with the President were in regards to him waging a public relations defense that was designed to undercut their credibility. There is no law that protects prosecutors from criticism. If you can't take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.

I suspect that you will see a lot of this over the next few days. The story is 100% correct. Generally speaking a National Tracking poll should keep their demographics almost flat. They may not interview the same exact people everyday, but they are designed to interview the same basic demographic.

When you suddenly see a poll where there is a now a five percent bump in the amount of Democrats who are polled, or you find a polling sample where only 26% voted for the Republican in the last election, then you are sort of predetermined to see a drop in the Republican President's approval.

But it doesn't actually mean he is less popular. They are only attempting to fool the public for a few days.

Exoneration. Look it up on Trump's Twitter feed for the exclusion. The DOJ policy is the President cannot be indicted.

So Roger. You saying that sexual harassment is just personal behavior? Because I don't believe that trading sexual favors for job advancement was any more acceptable back in the 90s as it is today.

Clinton was accused by Paula Jones as attempting to trade a promotion for sexual favors. When she refused, she got passed over. Monica Lewinsky admittedly performed those sexual favors, and Clinton used his clout to help her find employment.

Not surprisingly, the Judge declared that questions regarding Lewinsky were relevant.

He disagreed with your assessment that sexual harassment is just personal behavior.

clinton had two credible and verifiable claims of sexual harassment lodged against him. lying about them cost him $900,000, his law license, and got him impeached.

trump has exactly zero.

and not only does trump have zero, he managed to have a fucking whore owe HIM $300 large.

so don't let the facts get in the way of your sexual fantasies. go jerk off again to the billy bush tape, you fucking retard.

C.H. Truth said...

You choose to disbelieve the pussy grabbing candidate Trump.

So are you ever again going to make an actual argument, or are you simply going to continue to rant about how bad orange man makes you mad??


This is really simple, Roger.

Sexual harassment wasn't then and isn't now "personal business". Clinton lied under oath in multiple settings, including to federal investigators, intimidated witnesses, and attempt to garner false testimony in order to cover up sexual harassment behavior that a Judge had determined was privy to the Paula Jones case.

You say that was okay... because Clinton told you it was "all about a blow-job". I personally was against impeachment then (because it was an exercise in futility and people apparently didn't care about such antics)... but in retrospect, Clinton committed a crime and if he had not been President, Starr would have nailed him to the wall. He was caught dead to rights.


You have no such evidence that Trump was even being investigated for a valid reason. We will know more in the next few weeks exactly how valid (or invalid) this entire ordeal was.

The 10 items declared to be possible cases of obstruction are fairly laughable, and nearly every legal experts (other than those who have gotten everything about this wrong to date - like Toobin and Tribe) agrees that Barr made the correct call.


Yet you state that impeachment of Clinton (who committed obvious crimes) was wrong. But that impeachment of Trump (who has committed no such crimes) is the right thing to do.


Mainly, because you don't understand that just because the investigation was deemed to involve serious charges (conspiring with a foreign power) that it makes it actually "valid" - considering after three previous investigation and a special council (22 months 30 million) have all found ZERO evidence of any such conspiracy.

NEW YORK — Jared Kushner on Tuesday said he believes the investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election have been “way more harmful to our democracy” than the interference itself.

“If you look at what Russia did, you know, buying some Facebook ads to try to sow dissent, it’s a terrible thing,” Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and White House senior adviser, said during the inaugural Time 100 summit here. “But I think the investigations and the speculation that’s happened for the last two years has had a much harsher impact on our democracy than a couple of Facebook ads.”

Russia did more than buy a “couple of Facebook ads,” U.S. investigators have determined. Last year, the Department of Justice charged 13 Russians and three Russian entities for allegedly carrying out an elaborate plot to interfere in the 2016 election. The Russian operatives allegedly used fake social media accounts, created false advertisements and even traveled to the United States in an effort to support Trump’s White House bid — and to disparage his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton. The Kremlin-linked troll farm Internet Research Agency also organized "dozens" of political rallies in the United States with the purpose of sowing political discord, according to special counsel Robert Mueller's report into Russian election interference, which Mueller called "sweeping and systematic."

The Interior Department’s Office of Inspector General has opened an investigation into whether six of President Trump’s appointees have violated federal ethics rules by engaging with their former employers or clients on department-related business.

The new inquiry, which the office confirmed in an April 18 letter to the nonprofit Campaign Legal Center, is looking into senior Interior officials, including Assistant Secretary for Insular and International Affairs Doug Domenech, White House liaison Lori Mashburn and three top staffers at the Office of Intergovernmental and External Affairs. The Campaign Legal Center detailed the officials’ actions in a Feb. 20 letter to the inspector general’s office, suggesting a probe was warranted.

A fairly accurate assessment considering to motivation was to politically cripple if not outright remove a duly election president of the United States.

There is far more danger to US Democratic institutions from unelected bureaucrats than from Donald Trump.

Denny...

Clintons, Jones, Lewinsky, were all part of a sexual harassment lawsuit regarding Clinton trading sexual favors for job advancement.

Sure, Lewinsky got on her knees willingly and Clinton helped find her a cushy job. But Jones wouldn't get on her knees, and she lost out on a promotion most people expected she would get.

None of that is "personal business". It's sexual harassment. If you truly believe that a 50 year old and 20 year old intern were just "in love" and Clinton was just being nice to help her with employment... well.


Either way, the Judge in the Sexual Harassment lawsuit declared the issue of Clinton and Lewinsky to be relative to the lawsuit and allowed questions to be asked of Clinton regarding that relationship and how much help he offered to get her employed. Clinton lied in depositions, he later lied to Federal investigators, and he intimidated and tried to get Lewinsky to sing a false affidavit that there was no sexual relationship.


In your mine and Roger's mind...

This is all just "personal business".

But in the eyes of the law it's sexual harassment, perjury, and obstruction.

In 1994, Paula Jones filed a lawsuit accusing Clinton of sexual harassment when he was governor of Arkansas. Clinton attempted to delay a trial until after he left office, but in May 1997 the Supreme Court unanimously ordered the case to proceed and shortly thereafter the pre-trial discovery process commenced. Jones' attorneys wanted to prove that Clinton had engaged in a pattern of behavior with women that lent support to her claims. In late 1997, Linda Tripp began secretly recording conversations with her friend Monica Lewinsky, a former intern and Department of Defense employee, in which Lewinsky divulged that she had had a sexual relationship with the President. Tripp shared this information with Paula Jones' lawyers, who put Lewinsky on their witness list in December 1997. According to the Starr report, after Lewinsky appeared on the witness list Clinton began taking steps to conceal their relationship, including suggesting she file a false affidavit, suggesting she use cover stories, concealing gifts he had given her, and helping her obtain a job to her liking.

Clinton gave a sworn deposition on January 17, 1998, where he denied having a "sexual relationship", "sexual affair" or "sexual relations" with Lewinsky. He also denied that he was ever alone with her. His lawyer, Robert S. Bennett, stated with Clinton present that Lewinsky's affidavit showed that there was no sex in any manner, shape or form between Clinton and Lewinsky. The Starr Report states that the following day, Clinton "coached" his secretary Betty Currie into repeating his denials should she be called to testify.


Article I charged that Clinton lied to the grand jury concerning:[21]

the nature and details of his relationship with Lewinsky
prior false statements he made in the Jones deposition
prior false statements he allowed his lawyer to make characterizing Lewinsky's affidavit
his attempts to tamper with witnesses
Article III charged Clinton with attempting to obstruct justice in the Jones case by:[22]

encouraging Lewinsky to file a false affidavit
encouraging Lewinsky to give false testimony if and when she was called to testify
concealing gifts he had given to Lewinsky that had been subpoenaed
attempting to secure a job for Lewinsky to influence her testimony
permitting his lawyer to make false statements characterizing Lewinsky's affidavit
attempting to tamper with the possible testimony of his secretary Betty Curie
making false and misleading statements to potential grand jury witnesses
