They need that Kate McKinnon chick to do Warren. Hubs has shown me some hysterical skits on YouTube where she is among a group of three peeps being debriefed about some 'ordeal' or another. In one of them (UFOs I think) Ryan Gosling couldn't keep it together. funny stuff. almost like the old days.

Did I miss anything interesting? Bernie still wants wealth redistribution, Elizabeth Warren is still an angry feminist, Mayor Pete is still gay, Mike is still rich, and all of these people want open borders and want to take my right to a gun.


Correct?

here is the military times take on it. The most comprehensive explanation I have seen. its for each individual to determine what they consider a veteran. By the "rule of law" he is not no CAB was awarded him.

It's pretty tough to win a Dem nomination if the AA community opposes you.

I think Bloomberg survived the debate, despite vicious attacks from the radical side of the party. Biden is like a ghost out there. As a conservative, Bloomberg is the least scary from a policy standpoint. He won’t propose radical change and knows that capitalism drives our success. I would still vote Trump but I don’t believe a Bloomberg presidency would tank our country and the markets like a Bernie or Warren presidency would. The fact that Bernie now has a clear path to victory is terrifying. Is it the anger that are driving people to him, the ill informed youth?

I am not diminishing anyone doing time in the military in any capacity, but I am diminishing the notion that it matters to be the elected civilian leader of the Executive Branch.

I don't think Truman ever left the United States while in the military. He was stationed here.

I 100% agree with this as a Trump voter. As a NYC resident who has lived under Bloomberg the only unforgivable thing that ever really sat wrong with me is how he overturned the Mayoral term limits back in 2008, and it was his only blemish on his record to me and it was a big reason why I would never vote for him.

However, all that aside if I had to actually choose a Democrat candidate on the ticket that I would want to win--I'd choose Bloomberg. He'd keep the country going in the right direction with Trump's economy. My only real issue with him outside of that is his age and his ability to really work with world leaders. I really have doubt on his ability to work the world arena, but then again he's probably as strong as any of the Dem candidates.
