democrat debate last night

not even sure what to say about those angry, stupid, lunatics. Bernie attacking Bloomberg for being successful. How is anyone better off if Bloomberg became a panhandler instead of a billionaire?

He didn’t steal his wealth, he created it. He created it, and he pays some taxes on it and he gives some away, all of which reduces the burden on the rest of us.

then bernie, who’s been in DC for 200 years, complains about the tax code. Who is more responsible for the tax code, a private citizen or someone who’s been in congress for decades?

I actually think bloomberg has a shot in the general, although he’s almost as big a jerk as trump is. but he’s rational. no one else on that stage is a serious person.

Bernie, with three homes,
is bitching about income inequality. and preaching for socialism.

just sit back and enjoy the train wreck

democraps just keep inventing great ideas....

Governor Gavin Newsom said on Wednesday that he believes medical doctors should be able to prescribe people housing in the same manner that they prescribe medication to people who are sick.


“Health care and housing can no longer be divorced. After all, what’s more fundamental to a person’s well-being than a roof over their head?” Newsom said during his State of the State address. “Doctors should be able to write prescriptions for housing the same way they do for insulin or antibiotics.”

Bloomberg can trade insults with Trump on his own(Trumps) level, which (IMO) gives him an edge over the others

But I'm just disappointed /pissed that everyone is spending so much time attacking each other rather than addressing the real issues.

but thats an old song......

oh it sure was. but despite what the media said, we didn’t have people running as Nazis. we had a bunch of moderates, one of whom was an amazing narcissist. but in terms of policy, none of the major candidates was a lunatic. i don’t know who the right-wing equivalent of bernie is, but whoever it is, he wasn’t the frontrunner for a
presidential nomination. Not even close.

wdmso, the leaders of the party are sh*tting themselves.

the gop is united. there’s an all out civil war on the left, there are no moderates, other than Bloomberg. And he’s basically Trump.

it’s incredible what’s going on. but you try and convince yourself it’s nothing.

obama left the party in absolute tatters. there’s no bench. none.

Bloomberg is a moderate, Biden is a moderate, Klobuchar is a moderate, Mayor Pete by many measures is.

What debate were you watching Jim?

i think they all signed into the green new deal, i think they all support abortion until the moment of birth, and want to give free healthcare to illegals.

Bill Clinton was a moderate. Maybe Biden is, probably not, and in any event he’s not going anywhere except to an assisted living facility.

I watched the same debate that even CNN and MSNBC said was a disaster for Bloomberg and a win for Trump. The one where the Cherokee dominatrix absolutely tore the scalp off of Bloomberg, who somehow had no responses for the obvious attacks. And the one where mayor pete and Klobuchar was hitting each other in the undercard.

i watched the debate where the front runner again made the case that wealth is somehow bad, that somehow, we’d all be better off if Bloomberg chose instead to be a busboy.

Why do liberals cling to the laughable, demonstrably false idea, that one persons wealth is causing someone else’s poverty?

Of course Bernie vigorously defended his right to be a millionaire with three homes. It’s OK when HE does it. It’s sinister when anyone else does it.

And that’s todays liberalism. it’s about what “we” should
do, not what “they” should do. “They” are entitled to the comforts.

right. Nancy Pelosi is now a moderate.

the guy in second place is a 70 year old multi billionaire who also wasn’t a democrat until very recently.

The guys in first place and second place in the primaries, aren’t even democrats. What does that tell you about their bench.

Trump to transfer $3.8B from military to fund his wall

Rep. Mack Thornberry of Texas, the top Republican on the committee, said Congress has the constitutional authority to determine how defense dollars are spent and “the re-programming today is contrary to Congress’s constitutional authority.”

"they are scared little bitches who grovel at trumps feet "

You say so. But how come so many of them, even the hosts at Fox, criticize Trump regularly? At his rally just yesterday, Trump went off on Fox host Neil Cavuto for criticizing him.

The GOP is united behind the value and effectiveness of the policies that Trump is endorsing - the economic results speak for themselves, we like what he's doing on national defense, we love the judges he's nominating.

Trump is going to be very tough to beat if the economy holds. No one is saying he's an easy target. Many on the left feel that Bernie has no chance, and right now he's the front runner.

Listen to James Carville, his take on the leftward surge the party is undertaking...

"you all sold out "

Ummm, one of my favorite things about Trump, is his policy regarding the unborn. Not sure that my supporting him on that issue is a sellout, as I'm already born and have nothing to personally gain by pro life policy.

You vote "D" because they are pro union. But you're not selling out, right?

You and Spence sound desperate. And you're right to feel that way.
