Also, mods can you sticky this thread and unsticky the old one?

He went to Pats though, classic tourist move. (I will give him credit however for correctly saying Whiz Wit)

Flake not ruling out a run:

Flake, when asked if he'd run for president: "I won't go there. That's a long ways away."

This kind of reminds me of the "anyone can cook" line from Ratatouille. With "anyone can be president", it doesn't mean that everyone can become president, but a president can come from anywhere.

Garcetti is out for Governor, and not running for Senate either. Meanwhile, he was just in NH and is going to SC soon. Hmmmmm

Kirsten Gillibrand looks like she’s becoming a persona non grata in Clintonworld after saying Bill Clinton should have resigned:

Philippe Reines @PhilippeReines
Ken Starr spent $70 million on a consensual blowjob. Senate voted to keep POTUS WJC. But not enough for you @SenGillibrand? Over 20 yrs you took the Clintons’ endorsements, money, and seat. Hypocrite.

Interesting strategy for 2020 primaries. Best of luck.

Jeff Merkley and Cory Booker say Trump should resign over sexual allegations.

Every Dem in the country could call for his resignation and he wouldn’t resign. Heck, he could be impeached and I wouldn’t be surprised to see him try to find a way to veto his own impeachment. He has less class than Nixon.

It's more useful to recognize in the sense of posturing for a 2020 run, not for having actual effect regarding Trump.
