Trump Demands 'Tough Primary' For 'Sneaky Dianne Feinstein' Over Release of Dossier Transcript

Source: Mediate




by Joe DePaolo | 10:40 am, January 10th, 2018

On Tuesday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) made some waves in Washington by releasing the transcript of a Senate Judiciary Committee interview with Glenn Simpson — one of the founders of Fusion GPS, the Washington firm which published the infamous Trump dossier.

In a Wednesday morning Tweet, President Donald Trump weighed in on Feinstein’s move to release the transcript. Suffice it to say, he wasn’t thrilled.




Trump’s wish may come true. The 84-year-old Feinstein, who is up for reelection in 2018, faces a primary challenge from California’s progressive State Senate President Pro Tem Kevin de León. But Billionaire activist Tom Steyer, long rumored to be pondering a bid, will not get in the race — according to the L.A. Times.

His habit of naming people seems to be like a sort-of-clever 10-year-old.

But, I'm sure that sophisticated polling data shows that it resonates with his base. Whoever they are.

I will vote for her now because of her actions. Ironic she is older than twitler but must sharper and able to articulate real thoughts unlike twitler who can’t help but constantly repeat himself.

release information damaging to Donnie Two Scoops? She is only a woman, not a fine upstanding republican office holder. Dianne has bigger balls than any repub., especially Donnie, Graham and Grassley.

If trump calls for it it is even less likely to happen.

Republicans usually have remarkably little power to primary a dem, unless it is an open election state and republicans can rush in and vote for another candidate (rat fukeing as they call it).

But it doesn't sound like that is what he is calling for. California does hold open primaries and it is easy for republicans to cross over and vote in the dem primary. So that is a risk I guess.

we have open primaries. We need her seniority on the committee. And if things improve she can always retire before term is up, e.g. in 2 years so we can elect someone younger in 2020

of the testimony to fit their narrative, but not releasing all of it to read it in context.

Boom, releasing all of it might just undermine their weak sauce spin.

Yeah, I know. He doesn't understand a thimble's worth about anything. But he has no idea how a political party targets which races and candidates to support financially and/or through coordinated campaigning (several candidates sharing money and staffing resources).

There's no way in hell the national or state party would abandon Feinstein for a novice. If she, or any reason, chooses not to run again, the party would find a much better candidate than this Leon guy.

Lord Smallgloves does not appear to have the faintest idea which party is which. Lord Smallgloves used to be a stupid bigot, but now he's a senile stupid bigot.
