Why are so many Republicans "retiring" rather than running for re-election? Is it the chump who is driving them away?

    The Republicans who should be retiring, aren't retiring. Call me the other more prominent Russian spies retire from this travesty of a political party.

    Apologies Zack but I don't understand your second sentence. Could you rephrase it please? Happy Tuesday! :)

    I've long believed that members of Congress are also Russian assets. So, they may as well be spies for the Russian government.

    Oh? Oh. Sounds exceedingly possible and logical to me. Others before smoothed the way for the success of Russia today in the usa. Makes more sense than I would have liked. Thank you for the clarification Zack and Happy Tuesday! :)

    It is called draining the swamp. 
    There is at least one exception who is retiring because of a medical issue with a newborn baby. 
    But most of them.  Good riddence.

    I think you may be devolving even more quickly than your Leader.

    Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur Mocks GOP Claim Trump Is Playing ‘3D Chess’ on Impeachment

     On Cuomo Primetime, The Young Turks’ Cenk Uygur laughed off and then openly mocked a Republican strategist’s claim that President Donald Trump is playing “three-dimensional chess” by cleverly trying to trick Democrats into impeaching him: “Donald Trump couldn’t even play two-dimensional chess!”

    In a debate with GOP campaign strategist Patrick Griffin, Uygur challenged the conventional wisdom that impeachment is more politically perilous for the Democrats and will backfire on them in 2020 if they pursue it.

    “[Democratic Speaker] Nancy Pelosi tells me that you guys are looking forward to it. Do you want us to impeach Donald Trump? Say it right here,” Uygur said, calling out Griffin.

    “I think Nancy Pelosi if she wasn’t as smart as she is, should be letting her caucus lead her down the rabbit hole to impeachment,” Griffin shot back.

    “But do you want Donald Trump impeached? Because I hear from the Democratic leadership that [Republicans] want Donald Trump impeached. Is that true? Do you want him impeached?” Uygur responded.

    “I think the Democrats should try to make their entire campaign about impeaching Donald Trump,” Griffin said. “That’s precisely what they should do and what is fascinating about this is that Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump, we can both disagree with them, I disagree with both on a lot of things, but… politically [they’re] playing three-dimensional chess while everybody else is playing checkers. That’s why she hasn’t moved to impeach this president and…”

    At the mention of “three-dimensional chess,” however, Uygur lost it and even host Chris Cuomo raised his eyebrows in amazement.

    “OK, Donald Trump couldn’t play two-dimensional chess,” Uygur countered, clearly still amused by the idea that Trump, who reflexively lashed out at the mere word “impeachment” last week, was secretly trying to engineer that fate for himself.

    “He is grossly incompetent,” Uygur said. “He never thought one step ahead in his life. He’s a total loser through and through and if you’re saying [Pelosi] is not much of a strategist either, I would agree, but somehow you think she is great. That makes no sense at all. Hey Nancy Pelosi, Republicans think you’re great, that should be a note to you. On the issue of impeachment, it’s a matter of principle. If you let Donald Trump get away with two clear felonies, obstruction of justice and campaign finance violations, then Nancy Pelosi would prove Donald Trump right, that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it.”

    MY 2, PLEASE step into the light already?

    Pelosi is smarter than that...she knows impeachment means reelection for Trump. A guarantee. 

    I never played 3D chess. I do enjoy 4 player chess though. 
    Could make a argument for the players being
    1. Trump and Trump supporters
    2. Dems.
    3. Media (News and Social)
    4. Establishment Globalists

    It is crazy Trump was able to pull it off. And will again.

    Please.  LOL  PLEASE tell me tell US how impeachment means re-election for TRUMP.

    THE ONLY way TRUMP can get re-elected is if he has some illegal trick up his sleeve which I think he does.  He has something up his sleeve and it is NOT his 30 percent base.  It is not the DEMS. IT IS NOT OBAMA. It is not anything BUT number 4.  NUMBER 4 is getting me very very very nervous. 

    And it is not because of impeachment.  It is because Trump has connections with those not interested in America and Democracy.  

    That is what is the problem NOT to impeach or not.  

    And Nancy is quaking in her boots because she SIMPLY DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO ACT.  That's my take.

    Because the American people are tired of the games. And impeachment would be the ultimate game. We know the Sen will not vote to remove. So it is a waste of time...just a game.  They also know how people felt after the Clinton impeachment....just a waste of time and resources. 
    But please, let them try.
