I'd just put the quote in my previous post to which you were responding!
Here it is again:
PBS:
The whistleblower who raised concerns about President Donald Trump’s dealings with Ukraine spoke to staffers on the House Intelligence Committee before filing a formal complaint, giving Democrats advance warning of the accusations of wrongdoing that triggered their impeachment inquiry.
ME: If I give you advance warnings of accusations, it's highly likely - if not "inescapable" as you'd prefer - that I've told you what those accusations are. Or maybe I haven't. But again, this is evidence of possible coordination, or orchestration.
The above is exactly what I wrote, and you ignored.
But if we've learned anything from last night, it's that Democrats can and should beat Trump in 2020. I know there's a theory that this impeachment thing is helping that effort. I'm skeptical of that. And we know it's certainly not the cause of last night's success. The candidates didn't run against Trump or make impeachment a big issue. They ran on issues as far as I could see. Maybe the wise strategy is to stick with that, to run on Trump fatigue, but to avoid losing an impeachment and in so doing alienating swing voters and galvanizing Trump supporters around a battle the Democrats don't need to engage?
I know the inside skinny on Bevins is he was a flawed and unpopular candidate and KY has a history of D governors. But it's just as likely this is a sign that McConnell is in trouble in 2020.
