The timing of the senate trial seems to be a not very well veiled attempt to let him essentially run unopposed in the first three states allowing him to pretty well secure the nomination before the rest can get back to the race.
I hope youāre right on that. And I hope Iām wrong on that.
Time will tell.
Doubtful but it is a pleasant thought.
Sheād then just move to another district and unseat another democrat like she did to win this seat.
No, Iād give Steyer zero chance of anything. Heās an even more annoying scold than Booker, just a rich California gadfly. Gabbard is already Putinās puppet according to the queen of annoying scolds.
Biden looks to me like the anointed one, moving at an even more languid pace than Hillary did four years ago. Yes, heās a sure loser and corrupt and low-energy and ridiculous from several angles - and it looks like heās already a lock with the powers that be.

Agreed. Her popularity with the āprogressiveā left is incredibly high. Itās unlikely that she will ever have to go work for a living ever again.

Iām not talking about him pulling conservatives over, heās not crazy and heās not a hard left nut so heād have a lot of appeal to NE Republicans and a lot of independents.
Remember the winner will be the person that can draw about half of the 10-12% of independents in the middle.
He also has that mature, soft spoken, middle of the road old white guy appeal that matters to a lot of people and inarguably heās had a very successful career and very little personal baggage.
Once somebody like that gets the nomination for either party they pose a real danger just because they wonāt offend a large portion of the electorate right off the bat so they remain persuadeable.
If nothign else sheāll take a six or eight figure gig as a reporter or talking head, or maybe at some leftwing Obamaesque think tank.
She wonāt ever be pouring drinks for minimum wage and tips again for sure.
I like a little suspense, too, but Iāve been watching Steyer for awhile now, heās from my area, and familiarity breeds contempt. If I had to put down $100 on the Dem nominee, Iād even put it on Hillary before Steyer. Iād put it on Anthony Weiner before Steyer.
donāt misunderstand, I donāt like him, Iām not saying heāa a likely nominee.
I am saying if he were the nominee, especially paired with Gabbard he could be a real threat to Trump winning reelection.
I hesitate to make too bold a prediction after Trumpās astonishing success, but Steyer would be the loosest of loose cannons, on issues sure to turn people off. After impeaching Trump, his number 1 priority is to declare a state of emergency over climate change.
That kind of lunacy appeals to a disturbingly large portion of the country too.
Maybe sheāll open a bar and call it AOCās OASISā¦
