i don't think Trump is as far right as what they claim

The guy holds whatever view benefits him personally.

The weird thing for me is, how did I answer questions so that Klobuchar and Pete, pretty centrist candidates, are basically the same as Warren and Sanders who are much further left.

Gun Control is a great example.
Every time a shooting generates an outcry, he says he's for Universal Background checks and keeping guns away from those who are mentally "unfit" and two days later the President of the NRA visits him and he's back to wanting the country to look like a western movie. He says whatever scores him points at the time.

Mayor Pete - 92%
Klobuchar - 92%
Delaney - 91%
Yang - 91%
...
Biden - 87%
Trump - 15%

I got something very similar... it's like you and I have similar view from a similar part of the country or something.

Like a... politician?

I probably could've fleshed that thought out a little better.

I think Bloomberg specifically is trying to go for the popular answers because he came into the game so late, relatively, and needed to do something to try and get people on board with him as the candidate other than just being the former mayor of NYC.

Or it's that we are basically the voter segment that Bloomberg is designed to appeal to. White, 20-40, male, middlish class.

I don’t know how due diligence as a reason for the aide being help is arguable. Why didn’t Trump do due diligence in the 2 years prior if he was that worried about what they were doing with the money. How the **** is this a defense?

Klobuchar 92%
Buttigieg 91%
Steyer 90%
Yang, Bernie, Warren, Delaney 89%

Biden 60%

Trump 16%

They are just throwing as much **** out as possible. Each GOP senator likely has a preferred argument/reason to use when in the future they will be asked to explain their vote to acquit, so the defense is putting them out a la cart.

Let the record show that my highest score (Yang) was like 67 and Trump was like 57.

I still don't know what to make of it.

Just by default, wouldn’t Washington have done the most in his first three years since there was pretty much everything to do?

"Considering" instead of "despite" suggests that he might be using the investigations as part of his metrics...

The footage of Trump praising Pompeo for "owning" that NPR reporter is something else.

Thank you for the glamour shots NY Times.

Do the Trump supporters/defenders want to try to explain why this guy was pardoned?
