The Impeachment noise is in full force right now, but here's the thing: it's not good for the country, it's not good for the party, and it's the American people who lose.

Bernie has allegedly made a video stating he is exploring a 2020 run for the presidency. He will, once again, be going-up against the DNC machine, as well as the apparently already chosen one, Kamala Harris.

Tulsi officially announced her campaign, and was immediately decried as working with the Russians, and that the Russians were propping-up her campaign.
