House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said Democrats will not focus on impeaching President Trump if they regain a majority in the lower chamber after midterm elections.

“I’ve made clear from the very beginning that our top priority is going to be to drive down the high cost of living,” the House minority leader added.

The House minority leader has lauded Democrats’ push for redistricting nationwide in an effort to pick up additional House seats and signaled that the party will advocate more for working-class Americans, after Democrats saw losses from the key demographic in the 2024 election.

How the Hillary Clinton campaign deliberately “elevated” Donald Trump with its “pied piper” strategy

Hillary was more afraid of Jeb Bush than anyone else in the GOP field, because she thought she'd lose to him the same way Gore lost to his brother. So she brought in her close friend and mega-donor, Donald J. Trump as a stalking horse who could humiliate Jeb from the right. Trump was more than happy to campaign as a Republican, because he had a chip on his shoulder over Barack Obama sullying the White House with his black ass. So the two conspired to give Hillary a Presidency and Trump a lucrative grifting opportunity.

A vote for Hillary, in the primary, was effectively a vote for Donald.

its still crazy to me how the "low energy" insult wiped out jebs campaign overnight

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Jeb's campaign was powered entirely by his ability to brown nose his mega-donor base of support. It wasn't that "Low Energy Jeb" mortally wounded his campaign. It was that Jeb never had much of a base of support to begin with.

There's a fantastic exchange between Jeb and a constituent in New Hampshire, wherein the constituent bemoans the lack of quality plumbing and the need to rely on individual septic systems across the state. This is due to New Hampshire's hard granite foundation, which is expensive to drill through when laying public works. The constituent asked Jeb how the federal government could assist in improving New Hampshire's public works. Jeb responded that federal money going to New Hampshire public works would have infringed on the libertarian ideology of the state's people and its founders.

At a town hall meeting in Raymond, Bush was asked three times about the small town’s strained septic system. “This is not the problem of the president,” Bush responded playfully. “I’m not going to solve your septic problem tonight, I’m afraid.”

This was on a bus tour he'd dubbed the "Jeb Can Fix It" event. (There's a video archived somewhere, but this was the best reference I could find).

Nobody who was voting actually liked this guy. That's why he came out behind both Kasich and Cruz in the NH primary.

Without Trump running, my money is on Cruz - or maybe Kasich - prevailing in the end.

No.

That's why he didn't run as a democrat.

Because he knew it wouldn't work.

Because liberals hold their constituents to higher standards than conservatives.

that goes against the "blue no matter who" thing

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

How so?

He didn't run as a Democrat so we weren't tempted to vote blue no matter who in regards to him.

Are you drunk?
