Buttigieg “talks” center left. He is ideologically far left.

The only way any of those are center/left is if you consider anyone to the right of Mao or Stalin to be Jesus.

ALL are for the government takeover of health care.

All are for partial-birth abortion.

All but 2 are for racist "reparations".

All are for "taxing the rich".

And as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong), every one of them wants to restrict civil rights regarding the 2nd amendment.
This is uninformed crazy talk^

Not really, he's openly against single payer healthcare and against subsidized college

Jesus was a leftist.

This was all drilled into our heads 24/7 by the Left and their media outlets.



That is the obsession with Hillary. She was the most logical successor to Obama and the chosen one to carry on his legacy to fundamentally change America.



We are so lucky she was denied and she won't be back in 2020.
Answer to your last sentence, Don't count on it.


Bob.

By the link provided "free college" is only supported 12-8.


I doubt the proponents can get the money to pass it fully or anywhere close. That would take the House and Senate doing something they haven't even considered much or at all before.

As mentioned before, the reparations issue is at the level of whether to create a commission to study the idea. That idea has gone nowhere for 30 years. There is a huge difference between studying something and doing some specific thing or anything. And... the indicated support for studying the idea is 12-8 for not "all but 2 for".

On terminology, there is no such thing as "partial birth". There is birth and not birth. There could be complications of birth but that is not what is being discussed. The issue scored on the link is late term abortion. Which is quite rare.

The healthcare issue scored is "universal health care" not government takeover. It will affect private health care providers and insurers but the extent of any change is not necessarily the same for all.




It is not even handed to provide this link and then change the characterization of so many of these issues it is reporting on.

So you're saying every single Democratic candidate is lying and will just say anything for votes? They must have a pretty low opinion of the intellect of their potential supporters.

Come to think of it...I can't blame them.

Hillary's political capital balance is approximately zero. Nobody wants anything to do with her any more -- not her former lavish foundation donors, not Bill, and least of all, the DNC. Well, Bill probably least of all, but he married her so he has no excuse. And if you think the current crop of DNC candidates are loons, just listen to virtually anything Hillary has said in public after losing. That woman has lost her marbles.
