By Michael Scherer Michael Scherer National political reporter covering campaigns, Congress and the White House Email Bio Follow April 23 at 9:00 AM Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota did not want to say whether President Trump had done something impeachable. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont described the whole question as a potential distraction. And South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg worried about what voters would think.
Five candidates in sequence demonstrated their desire to speak about everything they found more pressing for the country — climate change, infrastructure spending, criminal justice reform, more federal funding for health care and college. While the Democratic-led House begins an effort to highlight through hearings the less flattering parts of Mueller’s report, the presidential candidates have decided to highlight everything else. Of the 19 candidates running for president, only two had called for Trump’s impeachment in response to Mueller’s report before Monday night’s forum.
“But here is my concern,” he said. “If for the next year, year-and-a-half, going right into the heart of the election, all that the Congress is talking about is impeaching Trump and ‘Trump, Trump, Trump,’ and ‘Mueller, Mueller, Mueller’ . . . what I worry about is that works to Trump’s advantage.”“I think he has made it pretty clear that he deserves impeachment,” he said of Trump, before making clear that he was not so interested in pursuing the matter himself.
Harris said she would give lawmakers 100 days to fix gun laws before imposing executive actions to toughen the rules, a move which would no doubt be challenged in court. “I think the right to vote is inherent to our democracy, yes, even for terrible people,” Sanders said.
Well, there are scientific studies about this. Fact is, name recognition (positive or negative) is the single most important factor in predicting an election victory. I sometimes think the WaPo is on the Trump campaign payroll.

Shut up
Those who are planning to run against Mr. Trump in 2020 know there are other ways to discredit his lies and dangerous agenda for our country. Will be done.
I believe that impeachment is an important step even if the Senate ultimately fails to convict. The House needs to be on record that this president should be held accountable for his actions. Senate votes will be testament 2 their duty to country over party & the rule of law.
It’s a valid concern. Perhaps it shouldn’t be the decisive factor, but it’s worth evaluating.
The bunny should have grabbed his balls and squeezed!
Ban fake news wp
Think about the precedent! Must IMPEACH!
Sit back and relax. The show of the clowns is about to start again and is payed by us yeeeah!!!👏👏👏
Is that his 2020 running mate?
That's the best I've seen auuuuugh Sarah sanders look
Duh, it keeps him relevant and his name pounded u to our brains. I have twin toddlers that know who he is because he's talked about so much on tv. Poor kids, thank God they are to young to realise how much of a disappointment Trump is. Hopefully soon they can have something else
Is that Sean Spicer in the bunny suit ? I guess Trump still liked him enough to give him a part-time gig !
No, many are cowards who are putting party over country just like the Republicans have.
Most with any sense don’t want their own dirty linen exposed.
We are pathetic, really. If this guy doesn’t qualify for impeachment, who the hell possibly could. Let’s do the right thing.
Un believeable news
Democrats will do nothing but call for impeachment & do continuous investigations right into the 2020 elections. I’d like to see them run on that record. It’ll ensure a positive result for the good guys.
This headline makes me want to scream. Both ewarren and KamalaHarris have called for ImpeachDonadTrump.
The more free press he gets, he loves. It's what helped him win 2016.
Shouldn't what we see, hear, read about this insecure divisive narcissistic bully whose allegiance is to greed, vindictiveness, dishonesty & himself be sufficient to doom him in 2020 or before. If not, we must reexam our electoral system that can elect someone so fatally flawed.
Not in social media Calling bs on msm way of doing all can behind scenes to get it out there Not true.. people are in fact talking about impeaching and can do that and talk about issues. Hard concept for corp media owned by elites Follow the money its always about power & $
in this photo, Trump is one on the left. Thanks to Brian Williams now we know.
How pathetic is the party of infanticide, they have an election next year & they’re screaming impeachment on ZERO GROUNDS! They know they can’t win at the ballot box, illegal votes or theft so they have to do this theatre 🎭of impeaching!
