Can't wait until the better candidates come visit California. Love Joe, but he's my third choice.

Love that Trump told us how he committed treason trying to get Ukraine (and now China, today) to make up stories about Biden. May be the best contribution Biden makes to the 2020 election!

Americans are listening to you, Donny!

Biden will not answer questions about how he, as Vice-President, helped his son Hunter get income from contracts in Ukraine and China. Trump has done plenty of that for himself and his family. Neither should be President. Biden v. Trump would be a repeat of Clinton v. Trump.

The investigation showed no impropriety and Guiliani was told so. He ignored that and continued to lie in order to deflect attention the panicked future impeached president who once again.
I've refilled my popcorn 2 times already. Such fun :)

> Biden will not answer questions

He has answered. Your false frame ("helped his son Hunter get income from contracts") shows you haven't read up on the issue of Guilliani fabrications.

> Biden v. Trump

Won't happen. Biden probably will not be the nominee. And trump's collusion and quid pro quo with Ukraine and China to get them to make up stories on Biden will get him impeached.

It'll be Pence losing to one of the other Dems, probably in quite a landslide.

I've lived in Palo Alto my whole life and these "fundraising campaign" events are so disruptive to the community with regard to traffic shutdowns, crowds of protesters/supporters, motorcades, etc. That being said, they couldn't have picked a better restaurant to hold this event. Evvia is definitely a community favorite!

Regarding Joe Biden, it seems that donating to his campaign is just throwing good money after bad. He won't get the nomination and, if he needs funding, can't he go to his son Hunter for support? Oh yeah, probably not...there are campaign finance rules against accepting foreign money.

Trump stood on the white house lawn TODAY and broke the law by soliciting foreign government help in an election.

Out loud. Recorded. To reporters.

Guilty as f***.

The lies about Biden is one thing, breaking laws to spread them?

Impeachment.

See Federalists papers 22 and 68, and Washington's Farewell Address.

Washington, Hamilton, Madison: beware of foreign influence

Trump: yo, China, wanna negotiate a trade deal? Off up dirt on my opponent first.

G. Washington: "Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence...the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government."

Trump: yo, wanna make a dirty deal?
