why Helsinki?

One question:
What the Mueller probe established, according to the AG, is that the Russians hacked the DNC and engaged in an aggressive, covert campaign to influence our election.
So why did @realDonaldTrump stand next to Putin in Helsinki and meekly accept his denials?

— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) March 24, 2019

perspective

Recall that Clinton was impeached for obstruction for allegedly trying to influence his secretary's testimony and having a friend get Lewinsky a job. He was covering up an affair, not a crime.

Just thought I'd remind Republicans of that.

not a good way

The only path to Bernie winning the nomination is to bring more Democrats together so he can actually win more than 50% of delegates. Hiring as his top press staff people who wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton against Donald Trump is, uh, not a good way to win in 2020. https://t.co/Uk9yaKwBbA

I feel like with the addition of Shaun King, Nina Turner, Sirota, and Briahna Joy, Bernie intends to run the most extremely online campaign that has ever been.

Unlike Warren who is running the one of the most extremely policy driven campaign i have witnessed.
