Liberal activists resisting the presidency of Donald Trump say they’d rather defeat him and other Republicans at the ballot box than see Trump brought down in other ways.

Those gathering for the annual Netroots Nation confab this weekend in Georgia say obsessing over subpoenas and clamoring for impeachment distracts from larger policy debates. They believe it also takes away from congressional midterm elections whose outcomes will last beyond Trump. …

weird, all the libs I ever hear from want impeachment or the 25th amendment or some other gimmick, and they're all hoping for their russian BS conspiracy to pay off. None of them I hear talking about the 2020 elections. they all want to nullify the last election some way.

They are totalitarians.

If they can nullify the results of the 2016 election, they won’t have to worry about the 2020 election.

Netroots Nation is brought to us by the Daily Kos folks.

Originally the annual meeting was called Yearly Kos, then they changed it to Netroots Nation. Same liberal shlock. Same liberal theology, dissent not permitted!!!

Maybe these are the slightly smarter ones who realize Pence, not Hillary, is next in line of succession.

They must have realized they weren’t clear enough on their message. They will probably go all out next time to make sure people know they intend to put more people out of jobs and onto government assistance, strangle our industrial base with even more carbon taxes, disarm the police, fund more abortions with taxpayer money, ban any kind of speech they view has hateful, put NAMBLA in charge of every school, and take away everyone’s guns. Everyone wants that, right? Everyone who matters, I mean.

I hope they never get it. Watching them foam from the mouth is fun.

[They have no message though.]

The first two words out of at least 3 candidates’ mouths (often) were “Donald Trump...” during 2016.

That was basically the “message” they tried the latter half of 2016.

They. Just. Couldn’t. Stand it.

The liberals at Yahoo prove they are insane enough to destroy the country. It is their blind obsession.

They are way, way past cuckoo with it.

It’s mind-boggling just how dense, uninformed, misled, stupid, lost, packed with lies, and insane they truly are.

When 2020 rolls out they’ll target the election
as the people’s impeachment election.

If the economy is good going into the 2020 election; President Trump will win again. It’s just that simple.

All the leftist rhetoric and nonsense about gender this or minority that won’t mean a thing except to their base which votes the same all the time much the same way are the right wing base. Elections are always won by the moderate vote unless it’s a total blowout.

How queer, when the TEA Party was mobilizing to throw the Rats out on their asses in 2010, we were told that it was because of an unwillingness to accept the new way in DC.

We were told that the TEA Party were radical anti-American people.

Buttociated Press doesn’t even pretend they aren’t aligned with the Rats these days.
