Hey I wonder what Russia Today headline is today....

Thank you for posting that. I'm always curious to see what the Russian propaganda machine is pushing on us but I can't bring myself to click over to Fox News.

(Debated whether or not to put the sarcasm font. I considered it but, honestly, I'm not sure it's applicable).

What's funny/terrifying is that Republicans would criticize Reagan for being too liberal today. They've gone so far right on the spectrum that he would look progressive.

I would never defend him either, but people gotta realize that white men in the 70s weren't exactly "woke". Not that it excuses that, because it doesn't.

At least Beto has had some reasonable support in some polls. He could use another debate to help start a senate bid or makes himself appealing as a VP.

I don't have any problem with Yang but its not like anyone is going to adopt his ideas. If you want to put someone in there for that reason alone put Inslee in there because at least climate change is worth it.

Well you are missing the point. I don't have any problem with him but people aren't going to on his site. Its a beauty pageant right now.

I wouldn't have a problem with a candidate who can't win being in the race if there weren't so many of him. I like him but its just the truth.

It really is a no win though. The debate format doesn't allow anywhere near enough time to discuss something as complex as healthcare intelligently.

The format is such that it is just a silly search for soundbites. Hopefully voters go to each candidate's websites and read the details on the plans.

The debate format sucks but so does her healthcare plan, she can't explain it well because it's not a coherent plan to begin with. She's trying to tell everyone they can all have what they want and not make any sacrifice in any way and that's just not realistic. Also all of the medicare for all people need to point out that losing your insurance doesn't mean losing your doctor or hospital, the only danger to that would be keeping for profit insurance around. The media keeps confusing people wanting to keep insurance with wanting to keep their primary care physician or hospital, I have never heard a single person say they love their health insurance company.

That's the problem, debating actual healthcare would be tedious. The best anyone has come up with is ACA. Anyone's realistic plan would be to band-aid ACA and hopefully throw some improvements.

That's not how you win among 20 people, so you have to sugar coat it.

She's trying to have it both ways. She wants to pretend she is for medicare for all for the progressives and she's trying to tell moderates that nothing will change if they don't want it to for 10 years, taking 10 years to implement is insane, she'll be out of office before it fully takes hold. She's just another BS politician and that type of person isn't who we need to put up against Trump, that's the type of candidate Hillary was and we lost where it counted.

Well its not like the truth has anything to do with them pushing her. They have 3 articles about her on the front page.

That's fine, I don't really care since she's not going to be the nominee but I want her around as long as she can be because she's the only one really talking about bringing troops home, everyone else is glossing over it or only pays it lip service for a few seconds before moving on to talk about the border.

Well I'm glad she attacked Harris (preplanned :wink:) because if she can't defend her record then she can't win and shouldn't win.

Oh yeah of course it was planned but at least she didn't have t-shirts printed up of her bending Harris over her knee and Spanking her although I do think Plainview may buy one if she did lol.

You have to admit the tshirt thing is a bit of silly complaint. That's a big nothing.

Reminds me of when people accused Hillary of pandering because she liked hot sauce. When there are real criticisms to be had no point in worry about something like that.

No it's not nothing it just shows what a fraud the whole process is and that her "sincere attack" wasn't sincere at all.
 
Remember the party of fiscal responsibility. The time for Democrats to start playing hard ball on the deficit is now.

 
Tulsi was on MSNBC yesterday and was questioned about her meeting assad. She got offended and said not su subtly tried to hint it was so long ago... it was three years ago, and then she accused MSNBC of favoring Harris, and using Harris' talking points. At the same time, she's become the darling of fox news the past week and has appeared on there numerous times.

Well that just goes back to having a problem with a planned attack and that's silly unless you have problem with everyone that does it.

Obviously if you are going to attack you have to have a plan for how you will deal with the aftermath or capitalize on it

Definitely not just the past week

Maybe she will take a job on Fox if doesn't run for reelection or she does and loses her primary. She can talk about how war is bad but bombing brown people is good. They will love her.

Did you know the Trump admit vetted her for a job?

Did you ever think we would have a President who would celebrate a member of Congress getting robbed?
