What we need is a centrist candidate that can gather enough bi-partisan support to get something done. The problems in this country are not solved with Medicare-for-All, nor with Tax-Cuts-for-the-Top 1%

The few times they accomplished anything in Washington is when Reagan partnered with Tip O'Neill or when Bubba Clinton played nice with Newt Gingrich.
Yes, that was when they raided Social Security. No thanks.

Wow. Not even 15 minutes of fame. She is pretty lame. Reminds me of some of those insurgent republican candidates in 2010 and 11. Pop, fizzle, over.

I would much rather have Democratic Socialism than an Autocracy, which Trump wants to turn our country into!

What proof do you need? He holds the record for firing more people from his own cabinet than any president in history! If he could get rid of Congress altogether and become a dictator, he would!
