SNL did a perfect fake commercial recently advertising the life story of the Republican that stood up to Trump, called TBD. It was well-intentioned and hit the nail on the head. And its true, if a Rubio or a Sasse (both young, telegenic) had the guts and skills to stand up to Trump and bring him down, they’d probably win in 2020. But what if that person is a Democrat?



We’ve all been impressed by Schiff, laying out the case for the Congressional Record.

It turns out Schiff has a history of taking down people dealing with the Russians.

While an assistant U.S. Attorney, he gained attention by prosecuting a case against Richard Miller, a former FBI agent convicted of "passing secret documents to the Soviet Union in exchange for a promised $65,000 in gold and cash."[4] The first time Miller was tried, it resulted in a hung jury; the second time, it resulted in a conviction overturned on appeal,[5] and the third time he was convicted.

Schiff could also be in the running (with Obama) are truly the healthiest man to ever be President.

Schiff has participated in multiple endurance challenges including triathlons and marathons. Schiff was the only Congressman to participate in the inaugural Washington, D.C. triathlon in 2010,[41] and has since participated in other races in Philadelphia, New York City and Malibu.[42] In 2014, Schiff became the first Member of Congress to participate in the AIDS/LifeCycle, a seven-day charity bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise awareness and funding to fight HIV and AIDS

So we have a foreign policy expert who understands Russia and the Middle East. Who better to unravel the twist the Trump Admin has put in the Executive Branch? A popular theory goes that if we can get rid of both Trump and Pence, which given the Pence ties to Manafort, is looking more likely.

Of course, this is a disaster if done before 2018, because Ryan becomes President. But if Dems win the House in 2018, they will have an opportunity to elect a new speaker. Its likely they then get to, with the mandate, investigate and impeach/remove Trump and Pence. Dems should, in 2018, make Schiff speaker, with the aim that he gets elevated in the event of impeachment.

Yes, I know there are popular theories about Dems could elect Hillary speaker, or elect Biden (Biden wouldn’t be a bad idea, Hillary would have too much baggage) to serve 2 years and repair the damage done. How about electing Schiff and running him in 2020? I know we’re focused on who the next Bernie could be… but maybe its beyond needing a Bernie. Maybe we need a prosecutor who can execute a game plan to remove Russia from U.S. politics and punish those who got them there.
