No one has #WalkedAway, from Trump. That had never Trumpered, in the first place.

That cannot be said for the Democrat Party. Who is about to eat itself to get to 2020.

I wonder if the Progressive Socialist will support Biden.

Will the Bernie supporters feel like he got screwed again and sit out the election or vote for an establishment candidate.

FDR (3 times); Truman (was president after FDR's death, and then won in 1948); Ike (1956); LBJ (prez after JFK's death; won in 1964); Nixon (1972); Reagan (1984); Clinton (1996); W Bush (2004); Obama (2012).

If you count FDR as 3, that's 11. If you delete LBJ and Truman, 9.

Look at who is running and the idiotic promises they keep throwing around.

Look at the idiots who are running. I still have faith that even the average liberal moron understands that reparations are insane and so is giving everyone a cool $1k/month.

I mean seriously, these people are all just so bad lol how can they not find somebody, ANYBODY, with normal ideas.

The Free-Stuff Primary: What Democrats' Promises Will Cost | Real Clear Politics

The only things that Dems don't promise to give you for free are
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
In other words, they want to undo the very foundations this country was built upon.

Kamala Harris calls for a ban on right-to-work laws |Washington Examiner

"Banning right-to-work laws" would be one of the first initiatives Harris would take up in office, she told the audience of labor members and organizers at The Enclave in Las Vegas, Nevada.

AND - she says she will do it with her "Executive Authority" -- totally dismissing LAWS that 26 States have passed. Bernie Sanders says the same thing.

A big problem with what the Democrats are promising is it's all supposed to come from the same, limited, pot.

Fix global warming? Tax the rich.
End student load debt? Tax the rich.
Single-payer health for all? Tax the rich.
Living wage for everybody? Tax the rich.

And they say this with a straight face, not wondering if we'll notice that... they are rich.

How did they get rich? When you look at what they are paid to do what little they do, how have so many of them become multimillionaires?

Because this is all a lie. How thick is the tax code? Massive. Why so thick? Cutouts, hidden benefits, things designed to make them rich.

In the end -- that's right, it's the middle class that gets caught supporting all this'
Normal People fully understand this.

I will continue to believe that Citizens of the United States don't want Socialism and don't want a President that will impose Socialism. Their biggest problem with Donald Trump is that he has been very, very successful with his Economic Agenda, he is not afraid of the Leftist Media the way former Republican Politicians are .... and most of all ...... he is a Republican Outsider who denied the Presumptive Queen her promised Crown.

The "experts" who guaranteed Hillary Clinton a win in 2016 were wrong, all their polls were wrong -- I see no reason to believe them now. IF the America Citizens vote against their own strong Economy and JOBS .... it will be the first time in our history.

There is a real reason the saying is .... "It's the Economy stupid" - that's exactly what Normal People vote for.
Nothing wrong with repealing all Right to Work laws unless you're with the corporations. Make no doubt about it, whatsoever, absolutely nothing else is more hated by corporations than labor unions.

By the way, if you abhor socialism do you quite strongly support doing away with the public school system? That absolutely screams socialism!

Biden doesn't have a chance against Trump. Like Sanders and everybody else people got tired of hearing about Hillary's emails. People are going to get sick and tired of seeing videos and pictures showing Biden unable to keep his hands off of women and men, too. Boys and girls, too.
