Exactly, TwilightZone!

It makes me crazy when the importance of our moderate Dems across the Country aren't respected for who they are and what they bring to the party.

It's kind of a big picture outlook

The Blue Wave was mostly won by moderates and Healthcare was an important issue!

The midterm elections cemented Obamacare's legacy and showed Democrats can actually win on healthcare

With Democrats' victory in the House, Obamacare repeal is dead.

Democrats hold a strong advantage on healthcare and Obamacare looks stronger than ever.

Three deep-red states expanded Medicaid, a key part of Obamacare, via ballot initiatives

That would be insane to "purge moderates"..

they represent "moderate" parts of our Country and no doubt helped us win the Democratic House Victory in 2018.

Without which we wouldn't even be having the Impeachment conversation.

Thank you for this article, IronLionZion..

The reason they made their announcement and explained their reasoning as a group, in an op-ed in The Washington Post, is because they had already formed a bond over their national security background -- especially the five women: Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Abigail Spanberger of Virginia, both ex-CIA officers; Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania who was in the Air Force; Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey and Rep. Elaine Luria of Virginia were Naval officers

LOL.. Is he

mad?

Right! It's like a lawyer doesn't ask

a question he/she doesn't know the answer to..

You also don't encourage releasing a tape you haven't heard.

trump hoisted on his own petard.. who would ever have guessed?! If this is all true then Moscow mitch must feel awfully stupid now.. and psycho must be furious that his big Senate cover up person helped him on his way to impeachment!

Yeah, and it may come back

to bite them.

I'm a little surprised.. it's hard to wrap my head around.. they should know this is about trump and his extortion.. Not. A. Damn. Thing. To. Do. With. Biden. Or. Hunter.

It's about Democracy as opposed to trump "taking over the United States".

Tom Steyer backs rival Joe Biden around impeachment inquiry, says he 'should be left out of this'

“This is an attempted smear by the Trump campaign. Just the way he tried to smear Hillary Clinton,” Steyer said in an interview with Yahoo News Thursday, defending his political rival. “I think that Mr. Biden should be left out of this. I don’t think he’s done anything wrong. I think a bunch of newspapers looked at it and decided he hadn’t done anything wrong.”
