There cannot be so many on the left that agree with nothing the right stands for. There has to be a sizable element of “ not letting Trump have a win.” So many of these open border Democrats, who before Trump, were against open borders, help make my point.

These pathetic Democratic candidates are talking about things they "think" voters want to hear: such as: To happily give illegal immigrants: Free housing, SNAP, subsidized free lunch programs, free healthcare, government benefits, instant citizenship and so on and so forth.....including but not limited to: Speaking in Spanish and pandering to the illegal law breakers who cross into this country illegally during the debate.

I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe.

I don't know what these politicians are thinking? I mean you go out and do a man on the street and interview the average person I can't imagine you'd get that many people on borad with this, especially if you talk about having to raise taxes to cover these additional costs.

I mean we can't even really handle the poor people we have here now, why the hell import more??

I maybe overestimating the degree to which Biden was hurt. But, I don't think last night was a great night for him. He certainly didn't lose the primary in one debate, but I don't think he will survive on top if he keeps commiting so many unforced errors.

Everyone else stayed the same.

Of course the real winner of this two night dog and pony show was President Donald Trump. These debates, very poorly handled by NBC and led by some of the biggest asses on TV were a complete disaster for the Democrat party.

Overall Winner
  • President Donald Trump
What do people like about Gabbard. For the first question to her, 0% of her answer (literally 0%) was related to her question. That is the same percent change she has of being the nominee. 0%.

It was like watching 20 people spewing meaningless platitudes while running for president of Mexico.

If you agree with Biden’s explanation, then how do you justify almost all Democrats refusing to work with President Trump? Just look at how much is getting done by the Democrats in Congress. Not much, if anything.

You can't give a pass to Biden for his racist past by blaming it on Trump. Harris is right to call him out.


Let's remember, Biden was against Affirmative Action, School Integration, and in fact most of the LBJ Civil Rights platform.

Trump may very well win again, but he is so unpopular and undisciplined that nothing can be taken for granted.
