five leading Democratic presidential contenders clashed in a series of prime-time town hall meetings that exposed deep divisions in a party desperate to end the Trump presidency.
Harris' unexpected support for impeachment follows Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's push for Congress to begin the process to remove the Republican president following the release of special counsel Robert Mueller's redacted report — a plan all but certain to fail without significant Republican support.
"There is no political inconvenience exception to the United States Constitution," Warren said. "If any other human being in this country had done what's documented in the Mueller report, they would be arrested and put in jail."
The impeachment debate, which is raging among Democrats nationwide, played out on national television Monday as five 2020 hopefuls representing different wings of the party addressed young voters in first-in-the-nation primary state New Hampshire. While they took turns on stage, the forum — hosted by CNN — marked the first time this young presidential primary season in which multiple candidates appeared on national television for the same event.
The five-hour marathon marked a preview of sorts for the party's first formal presidential debate, set for late June. On Monday, they clashed from afar while taking questions from college students about free college, free health care, gun control and impeachment.
A central question underscored many of the questions posed to the candidates, who were in many cases forced to address their greatest political liabilities: Who is best positioned to deny Trump a second term?
Bernie Sanders, a front-runner in the crowded Democratic field who has pushed much of his party to the left in recent years, was asked to defend his decision to embrace democratic socialism.
"It's a radical idea. Maybe not everyone agrees. But I happen to believe we ought to have a government that represents working families and not just the 1 percent," he said.
Republicans, led by Trump, have spent much of the last year warning voters that Democrats would take the country toward socialism should they win in 2020.
Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who has cast herself as a Midwestern pragmatist well positioned to appeal to the middle of the country, refused to embrace "Medicare for All," free college or Trump's impeachment.
"I wish I could staple a free college diploma to every one of your chairs," Klobuchar told the audience of college students. "I have to be straight with you and tell you the truth."
Warren, a champion for her party's more liberal wing, called for an "ultra-millionaires' tax" on income over $50 million to help pay for free college, free child care for all children 5 and younger, free universal prekindergarten and student-debt forgiveness.
"We say good for you that you have now gotten this great fortune," she said of the nation's wealthiest taxpayers. "But you gotta pay something back so everybody else gets a chance."
The Republicans tasked with helping Trump win re-election paid close attention to the Democrats' answers, seeking political ammunition to tear them down.

Harris agrees with this idiot??"There is no political inconvenience exception to the United States Constitution," Warren said. "If any other human being in this country had done what's documented in the Mueller report, they would be arrested and put in jail."

If Trump STFU on Twitter he would come out of the democrats effort to remove him from office like a rose. But he is a petty narcissistic fool who can't be a true leader and let the kids shit in the sand box alone.

problem is Trump has to constantly push back on fake news.
Better to use a press secretary of course

He trolls them mercilessly lol.
And he’s really good at it. But he overdoes it on Twitter. Trump could cut his Twitter use by half and still get his message past the media Gate Keepers. And I’m sure he’s heard it from his advisors. They probably tell him that every day. Or maybe they’ve given up on it.
But Twitter is a necessity for Trump because of the media.
Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017

I used to think that, but not any more
Trumps instincts are pretty dead on when it comes to trolling the left
They can’t even help themselves anymore. I love that the top dogs in the democrat primary are demanding impeachment. They are making life rougher for Pelousy.
I have to go load up on some more popcorn
Imagine after Trump is re-elected losing the popular vote but expanding the electoral college win and the Buzzy Ginsberg dies the next day

what a BUNCH OF FREAKS...free stuff, no more debts,impeachment, and allowing terrorists to vote!
