Illegals already get healthcare courtesy of Republican President Ronald Reagan , as of 1986. Illegals go to emergency rooms in hospitals all across the country. They cannot be refused due to illegal status. Nothing forces them to pay and illegals can still use the same hospital even if they used it before and didn't pay the bill.

And is not only illegals , anyone that shows up in an emergency room without health insurance gets treated. That bill is picked up by taxpayers in the county.

I remember hearing on the radio an American citizen blasting the ACA because he did not need to pay for health insurance because he would just show up at the emergency room and get treated.

If you have ever had the misfortune of having to go to the emergency room you would know that the cost is the highest there.

None! There isn't one viable Democrat running as of this date.

Kamala Harris isn't even eligible. Her parents were not citizens; therefore, she is not a 'natural born citizen' per the Constitutional requirement. (natural born = the child of two citizen parents)

Laughable! Trump will eat Biden alive.

So far it seems like, in the bucket full of Democratic contenders, it won’t be the one that rises to the top, but the one that falls out the hole in the bottom that gets the nomination.

The Democrats are all moving so forcefully to the far left that the half of them that will decide the nominee is actually only representing way less than a quarter of all the voters in the US. Few, if any Republicans will vote for that candidate, the independent voters that bother to vote will stay close to the center, and even Trump is closer to the center than a lot of Republicans. Don’t forget the fact that Trump was an outsider that joined to party to get the nomination. Now that he has shown how he can do the job - don’t dwell on his public personality - the Republicans are not about to throw it all away to vote on any of the current Dems.

I can see a lot of the centrist Registered Democrat voters who are more concerned about the country than they are about the party, either staying home or crossing over to avoid humiliation of seeing any of these yahoos running the country.

Warren is just an idiot, as well as being a rabid socialist. Who's going to pay for all the "free" stuff these people are taking about? We know who will pay ...you and me! The Democrats have always been about "tax and spend," and if any one of these people in the current "mob" were to actually become president, it would destroy the robust economy (best economy in our history) that President Trump has created. Once again, we would see companies leaving the mainland for offshore locations, to avoid the taxes and regulations that are sure to be brought back. The main reason Donald Trump won was because he promised to bring jobs back (done!), cut regulations (done!), reduce taxes (done!), reduce unemployment (done! Lowest in 50 years, and lowest black unemployment in history!)

I guess President Trump has that "magic wand" Obama said he would need.

What's funny is, many Democrats claim that this is "the Obama economy," while others (Kamala Harris, E. Warren) shout, "We need an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthy!" They can't get their story straight!

Under your interpretation, Barron Trump us not a Citizen of the United States because when he was born(March 2006), Melania was not yet a US Citizen, as she became a citizen in July 2006. Then what country is Barron a citizen of, per your interpretation of citizenship?

Elizabeth Warren has stated pretty clearly she believes in "markets" and not "socialism."

Granted she is for a regulated market economy which is I guess on conservative media will still get you labeled something akin to a socialist.

Yeah, sure. The GOP is "borrow and spend" so pick your poison.

"Free stuff"....like that wall Mexico is going to pay for?

I think it is high time we had a woman president. I believe Elizabeth Warren would make a great president.

I agree that depending who the candidate is they won't be able to sway Independent, Left Leaning Republicans, or unaffiliated voters. That is a big block of voter's. Agree that they are looking for a candidate who is an outsider and not established. Also has ideas that fall on both sides of the political spectrum.

Feel there is some candidates in the field that can that slot, but due to the large selection of candidates are looked over.
