Do what ya like in the bedroom, just keep your paws out of my wallet, as much as you can.
I'm pretty skeptical of anyone claiming to be fiscally conservative these days. The budget deficit went over 1 trillion dollars yesterday - the highest ever and twice what it was a couple years ago when Obama left office - with 4 months to go. I did not hear a peep out of the supposedly fiscal conservatives. I think the root of Republicanism is really bigotry - social intolerance. What else could explain this?

And the words MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is downright vulgar profanity to Dems.— and justifies hatred, harassment and violence.
The rest of us should feel ashamed and deplorable if not woke enough to be triggered by the same.....

I wonder if any lefty liberal in here would care to explain or justify that?

I could see a deadlocked convention happening if Warren picks up Sanders votes, or vice versa. Right now it's Biden at 38% and Sanders+Warren at 29%. But most of the rest of the field seem to be progressives, so it could get close as the field thins.

that picture of them all raising their hands to give free healthcare to people who are in the country illegally will be seen hundreds of times next year in 30 second intervals on TV. Especially close to the election. Meanwhile, according to Democrats, Americans are dying on the streets through lack of healthcare.

Not a good look or message. Good luck with that!

The candidates differ slightly, on which feature(s) government should spend a LOT more on, and which feature(s) govt should spend a WHOLE LOT more on.

That's the Health Care debate in a nutshell.
Bingo.

It's so easy to predict what these people will say....

Default Beto shoots himself fatally

Beto o' rourke for communist party chairman!!!!!!!


Self sacrificial statement made by Beto, assures he has decided to no longer un for president of the US.


Beto's fortunes lie in some despotic regime reminiscent of the rise of Nazism in GR or Fascism in Italy.

I’m still watching it, but so far I’d scratch Bernie and Biden. Those two old farts gotta go.
Klobuchar seems knowledgeable, but she’s not resonating.
Petebutt did OK
Elizabeth Warren is doing well, I think. In her favor, she seems like everyone’s favorite kindergarten teacher.
Booker is less annoying than Harris, but they’re both race baiters.
Anyone who speaks Spanish annoys me. This is English speaking America.
Beto wasn’t bad, but he’s not the guy.
Yang was pretty good.

Winner tonight..Warren or Yang

Same old, same old... don’t you know what country you are in? Here’s a hint... open your wallet and pull out one of those green slips of paper. Look closely and you might figure it out.
