That should've left up to towns, counties and states. Not much federally can be done.

Can't wait to get this sideshow over with and get on with it.
Put your seatbelt on, brother. This whole #@^$show is going to be about identity politics. And giving away freebies.

All I remember about Hillary and Trump is Trump shuffling up behind her and trying to intimidate Hillary with his looming presence, which he probably did. Kamala looks to me like someone who would rip Trump a new a**hole if he tried to do that to her.

And out of every candidate there...There is no way, I could see Bernie, PB, Yang, K. Gillibrand, Warren, or Booker being the face of our foreign policy. Biden? Maybe--he's still too old to be doing this kind of work IMO. Kmala Harris? Maybe.

But the rest are too soft to deal with the likes of Putin, Jung Un, Xi, Assad or the Ayatollah. They are too controlled by the left wing nut special interest groups.

I don't think they realize that they cannot always punt or defer to what our "allies" (I.e. the Europeans) think. We need someone who can actually lead and make the tough decisions for our own interests.


Can anyone really see Eliabeth Warren trying to negotiate with NK? Or Bernie Sanders trying to manage trade negotiations with China? What about Pete B trying to negotiate with Iran? Yikes....lord help us. Everything they do and say comes off as completely soft and controlled by pop media and pop culture.
Yeah because Trump is doing real well with Iran and North Korea... China is a mixed bag, but he already has failed in North Korea, within six months of a moment that I thought was the right step, it was showing signs of going to Hell in a handbasket with the Koreans not taking down installations and even them not wanting to talk to Mike Pompeo again. It has still not improved over the past few months. With Iran, he took us out of the nuclear deal and is edging to yet another Middle East war that nobody besides the war machine wants. The tariff war I can't comment because they continue to be ongoing. Trump has set America back in foreign policy bigly.

We need to be as loud, arrogant, boorish, obnoxious, and in-your-face as possible.

How dare the damn Republicans act loud, arrogant, boorish, obnoxious, and in-your-face. We should not, must not, and cannot tolerate that under any circumstances. Ever.

They need to be taught a lesson in humility and be reminded on who the correct and party of the future is.

I don't think she was loud enough.

That’s true, she’s from Oakland and they don’t put up with sh*t from bullies like Trump!

Has he ever had to persuade a powerful, type A, egotistical person?

Good ideas and smarts don't mean **** when you're across the table from a very powerful person.

DJT for all his faults, with little political experience, is at least used to dealing with people who may not have our best issues at heart. That can't be learned in any school.

The thing about Kamala is you know it's all a facade, or at least you should. Trump you didn't know since he had never been in politics and he's actually sticking to his word/promises for the most part or at least trying to, unfortunately.

And remember she's far far better at it than Pocahontas. In fact, Hillary is enjoyable to watch. Warren, on the other hand comes off as a shrill angry elitist.
1. That wasn't a debate. Yes, Hillary did kill it in every debate. Pres. T is just not trained on debating and simply isn't that smart, honestly

2. Who is Pocahontas? Kamala? If so, Pocahontas used love and not hate to save several people, if I recall, so I'll take it! I'm sure Kamala would too

3. Warren? Didn't mention her, she's not my favorite, but I would certainly take any of the 20 fine people on the D side this time. I'm just kinda pi$$ed we had to go through all this to get them out there!

Umm... DJT is one of those people.

As far as “can’t be learned in any school,” just ask those who attended Trump University.
