It wasn't about people wanting free stuff, it was about kicking Crowley to the curb for taking them for granted.
Pretty appalling that he sent a surrogate to the debate.
Meanwhile, he and others had pretty much already crowned him successor to Pelosi as speaker.

With that kind of hubris, he deserved to lose.

He will be all in to make sure she's elected because she's the Democratic nominee.
At least on the surface.

Wait, wait, isn't Trump the COMMIE LOVER? Isn't Putin a Commie and everyone knows how Trump L-O-V-E-S Putin! ♥♥♥


Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he is and has always been fond of communist “ideas”, while also comparing the Soviet code of conduct to the Bible, independent news agency Interfax reported.

I do want the vast majority to lose. That is not saying I want the (R)'s to win though. I never once complained about Hillary losing. I wish someone else had won, but Hillary losing was OK with me.

I will root for Ms. Cortez though. I do not support party but rather people.

LOL exactly. These were Democratic primaries. We've been noting the Dems' slide left for years; this simply confirms it.

The Dems have nowhere else to go, it seems. They are shifting dramatically LEFT to try to, desperately, cultivate the greedy takers of the Bernie wing. LOL, he's not even a Dem.

I think we are witnessing a circling of the drain and it couldn't happen soon enough. Sayonara, communists.

Just because Trump won the presidency does not mean the Democrats are done-for. Democrats are in a tick-tock-tick-tock waiting-game, the demographic-trendline supports their side.

Might as well use what works and has been working for a long time, leftist nuttery.
