Absolutely. Plus, email scandals, building walls, and how immigrants are the worst thing ever. I think they should rank each other's faces on a scale of 1-10 also.

"Immigrants"? There is no issue with immigrants. The opposition is to illegal aliens and rightly so!

From the link: "but I think that there was a big part of this investigation that was designed to go after people and an individual, Hillary Clinton,” Hanna said."

Here's the first issue: He THINKS it was. He does not KNOW it was, he THINKS it was. If I "think" Hillary is a former (or current) main line hooker does that make it so? No, it most certainly does not. It is wild speculation at best.

Second issue: Look at the quote above, OF COURSE IT WAS DESIGNED TO GO AFTER PEOPLE AND HILLARY CLINTON. Duh, it was HER sever and unless emails get sent and deleted all on their own what else would they be doing.

Third issue: Is/was Mr. Hanna on the committee? Nope, not as far as I can tell so he wouldn't KNOW what is going on any more than we do although he may be wired in to some gossip loop.

Now why on earth would any congressman all of a sudden decide to be seen as anything near "honest"?
Hmmmm, what could be the cause of that, Hmmmm, I wonder.......

I think my conclusion is that when you win nothing of nothing the answer is still nothing! Kinda like getting your salary doubled when it is $0.00 and you double it to 2 x 0.00 you still get $0.00. America is not socialist or progressive/communist. We are a democracy where people live in freedom. I will fight to my last breath to never let this terrible mind-set ever control America no matter what party that terrible mind-set chooses to claim.

Bernie Sanders and Hillary, but Bernie especially vocal, regarding the "rich" makes me sick. Neither of them have a clue about what makes the American economy work better than anything ever preceding...I certainly do not want this extremely ignorant mentality in any position that can touch my life. Without the "rich" there would be no middle class! That's the way it works in America. I am even more disgusted that somehow our education system has produced a few younger generations that have a terrible and warped idea of what makes America work and what our Constitution is all about. Anyone who believes in the garbage Bernie, especially, but also Hillary close behind and the other 2 (Web the exception...he has more intelligence and understanding of the real world) spit out are living in a world of disaster.

Default The debate obliterated the Republican field

The exceptional performances of Bernie and Hillary have completely demoralized and decimated the Republican field. Where is Rand Paul? Rubio? Jeb Bush? Where is Cruz? Where is Fiorina? Trump continues to babble on, but he offers no details, and is threatening to pull out of the next debate to avoid further scrutiny. Carson is taking a break to focus on selling his book, which is the real reason for his candidacy. Typically loud mouth Christie is silent, and the rest have disappeared.

One Dem debate was all it took to send the Pub candidates to the hills, confused and scared.

Maybe he has a conscience, or maybe he is sick of all the BS and wants to get the house to conduct business the way that it did before it was taken over by a few RWNJ's. I don't know...why don't you ask him?

Yes! They are wrong, we all know that trickle down economics works so well, oh wait it hasn't really worked, but maybe we just need to wait another 30 years for that trickle to reach the middle class

Shouldn't there be a semicolon or comma in the middle of that sentence? I had to read it 3 times to understand it.

The more Monica Lewinsky's boyfriend's wife talks, the less sense she makes. So many words, such little content.
That there is funny and the fact she stuck with Bozo Bill should be telling of her morals. I bet she considered the threesome he suggested.
