On Politics: Is There Room for One More?

Establishment Democrats seem to want new faces in the 2020 contest. But what about voters?

The polling in early voting states shows most Democrats have gravitated to that short list of four candidates. And the most common complaint is that the field is already too big. That’s part of the reason both Mr. Patrick and Mr. Bloomberg face an uphill climb to the nomination. Neither will appear in the debate next week and both will be hard pressed to qualify for the one in December. In 2020, the Democratic National Committee is expected to raise the qualification standards further, making it even tougher.

If he can do decently well in early-voting New Hampshire, his neighboring state, he may gain support in South Carolina, where the majority of the primary electorate is black, the thinking goes. The obstacles to this plan are obvious: money and manpower. Having been out of public life for nearly five years, Mr. Patrick has no list of donors to tap.

Those low numbers along with the shrinking calendar are the reasons Mr. Bloomberg is said to be considering an untraditional strategy of skipping the first four nominating states. He’d then carpet-bomb the more expensive media markets of the Super Tuesday contests with television advertising — the main way to reach voters in vast states like California and Texas that vote March 3. It’s a theory that has been attempted in more modest ways by other candidates — Rudy Giuliani in 2008 and Jerry Brown in 1976 — and met with failure. Success in the early-voting states offers proof that a candidate can do what Democrats, particularly in this election, want most of all: to win.

The men, who between them have 70 years of experience under presidents of both parties, presented themselves as nonpartisan civil servants who were alarmed by President Trump’s decision to withhold crucial military aid from Ukraine. - We learned more about both parties’ strategies. Democrats at the hearing argued that the facts of the case were not up for dispute, and that impeachment would come down to whether the country should tolerate the president abusing the power of his office for personal gain. Republicans made the case that because Ukraine never investigated Joe Biden, as Mr. Trump requested, a quid pro quo was never executed, and thus no crime was committed. - Republicans released their list of requested witnesses. Representative Devin Nunes, the top Republican on the Intelligence Committee, submitted a list of eight people his party would like to call in for testimony. They include Hunter Biden, Mr. Biden’s son, as well as the anonymous whistle-blower whose complaint kick-started the impeachment inquiry. Democrats, who have veto power as the majority party, are expected to reject a number of names on the list. - Next week’s witness list has some big names. On Tuesday, investigators will hear from Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a Ukraine expert and Purple Heart recipient who listened in on Mr. Trump’s infamous call with Ukraine’s president. On Wednesday it will be Gordon Sondland, the ambassador to the European Union, who others have testified was helping to manage the president’s dealings with Ukraine. And Thursday will feature Fiona Hill, a National Security Council official who has provided detailed and gripping accounts from inside the West Wing.
