Opinion: What we should ask presidential contenders about impeachment
Elizabeth Warren. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer May 9 at 10:15 AM Of all the Democratic candidates for president, Sen. Elizabeth Warren has been the most forthcoming and specific about her views. This week she took to the Senate floor to rebut Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s argument that the case was “closed” on the Mueller investigation.
— Elizabeth Warren May 9, 2019 Every candidate should be pressed to answer some basic questions about the president’s conduct and about impeachment. They can try saying that the issue is for the House to decide, but if they want the job, we’re entitled to hear what they think about the most serious constitutional standoff since Watergate.Frankly, if the candidates aren’t able to answer those simple questions, they really aren’t up to the task of running against Trump.
