the only thing she is looking for is votes. unless she is a complete idiot she knows that the things she is pushing for now will never work, and wont pass muster with the population at large.

In 2015 America spent $3.4 trillion on healthcare.

Arguably Medicare for all would cost $2.4 - $2.8 trillion dollars per year.

Kamala Harris does not want to abolish ICE (rather she wants overhaul of the agency.)

Claims of democrats wanting to abolish ICE are "Fake News."

How can she possibly win on these issues, and even if she does, how can she deliver??
Well, lessee, Trump won by promising that Mexico would pay for a 2000 mile wall and he would repeal Obamacare. How's he doing on those things?

Kamala will do just fine. Most Americans want healthcare to be fixed and 70% want Medicare for all.

So, you support Harris? You think she is authentic? You think she is the best choice?

In Los Angeles county, 5.1 million speak English, 3.9 speak Spanish as native languages.
Kamala Harris (D-CA) in a recent(2017) speech stated California leads the nation and is the roadmap for the rest of the nation to follow. Over 70 percent of the U.S. annual population growth (and over 90 percent in California, Florida and New York) results from immigration (new births and new entries). Less than 2 percent of illegal aliens are picking crops but 29 percent are on some public assistance. Twenty-nine percent of inmate in federal prisons are illegal aliens.










An old proverb: HEAVEN has a wall and strict immigration rules; while HELL has open borders

In other words, Harris thinks she sees the writing on the wall?! Well, that doesn't really represent the way the Founding Fathers wisely designed our system!

Until you tell them how much it will cost them. Then the rate drops to 36%.

The only thing I know about Harris is she's a democrat from California, and I know nothing about her authenticity.

There is no longer a plan to build a 2,000 mile long wall and hasn't been for some time now and you know it or did you just wake up out of a coma? I see you're the newest member of the Parrot Club in here. As for Trump's plan I guess I will have to post it again for the umpteenth time.

Do you have a quote to the "open border" idea?

The dollar amount for medicare for all is from a right-wing source and it would actually save money compare to what we are paying now.
