you struggle to differentiate between what’s moronic, and what you really really don’t want to believe.

i got your point. it’s very easy to lob baseless insults. a lot harder to tell me i’m wrong when i say that she’s a moron. make fun of me for saying it all day long, but maybe eventually you can tell me why i’m wrong.

A moron is a stupid person. I don't think she's stupid, she graduated with honors from a good university. She's just an inexperienced politician who likely doesn't get the hate machine trying to oppose her.

For 28 she's doing pretty well.

she thinks socialism will work despite its track record, she thinks low unemployment is bad because it means we all work too hard, and she thinks college should be free. she is breathtakingly stupid.

I don't think even Democratic Socialists want Russian style Socialism. The low unemployment remark is really about low wage growth which is real. As for college being free, we do need to innovate here.

i don’t think she wants russian socialism either. but what she wants, can’t work with 300 million people, and even less likely if we had 500 million as she thinks we do.

spare me your apologist bullsh*t, just for once, about what the remark was about. she so dumb, she thinks low unemployment can only be achieved by “everybody working two jobs”, and therefore its bad. and i’m supposed to be impressed that she has an economics degree from BU?

funny, but you aren’t telling anyone that they misinterpreted laura ingrahams comments, her comments are to be taken literally. but when this village idiot puts her foot in her mouth, we should ignore it and focus on what she really meant, which of course is brilliant.

liberal=good, conservative=bad, no exceptions, ever.

Look at what you said here. You need to stop throwing stones. If you think she means low unemployment is bad because it means we all work to hard... then I am not lobbing baseless insults. You just misinterpret what she meant. Maybe if you stopped referring to someone who by all measures (other than a few misstatements as a person in her twenties) appears at least as smart and successful as you, then you open yourself up to it.

I think she was trying to say people are working, sure, but making ends meet is increasingly harder. This isn't the ranting of a moron. The data on wage growth, inflation and income inequality is pretty clear.

she said low unemployment is achieved by people working more than one job. that’s not how it’s calculated. if i take a part time job in addition to my full time job, does the unemployment rate decrease? no, because my employment status hasn’t changed. i was emoyednwhen i had one job, also employed after i take a second job. she thinks that if one person takes all the jobs in the economy, that unemployment is zero. that’s next generation stupidity. it’s not a misstatement. she thinks low unemployment is bad. her words, not mine. oh, and free college!

That is a bunch of rambling you did there. We have already established that she was wrong about how low unemployment is calculated. You say her words, not yours, yet nothing you wrote were her words in any sense. That is just odd. A key statement, actually her words , was “Because we look at these figures and we say, ‘Oh, unemployment is low, everything is fine, right?’ " Her point was that the low numbers make people think everything is fine. She actually said those words. Your implication is that she thinks high unemployment is better. She never said or implied that. She believes, as Dorito Don did until the day after the election, that the unemployment rate can misconstrue people's experiences in the job market.

zimmy, name one person who said low unemployment means everything is fine? she, like you, doesn’t want to concede the positives about trump, and she’s willing to fabricate jibberish to downplay the benefits of the positive things he’s done. it’s not rational. trump is a scumbag, but he’s helping the economy. why can’t you accept that? bill clinton was also a reptile and boy did he help the economy.

What a weird response. You distort what she says, then basically admit she is right and everybody knows that what she said is true, then go off kilter in some other direction about me accepting trump is helping the economy? WTH dude?

Are you high?
You keep rehashing that she said unemployment was affected by how many jobs people work. I have repeatedly agreed she was wrong about that. That wasn't what I have been discussing here. You are wrong that she said low unemployment is bad. She didn't. You said that those were her words " low unemployment is bad." You lie about that so you change to a different aspect of what she said. She is clearly light years above both of us on the intelligence scale given the amount of time I waste on this insanity with you.
