    Man. I would love to see Mayor Pete on the international stage. Europe would love him.

    He's not always supersmooth in dropping in his military service. 

    It's often a bit "eh... and... I was stationed in Afganhistan, so I know one or two things about climate change"

    Well, my suggestion would be to move to another country. #WhyIsAbortionAnIssueIn2019 #ChrisMatthewsmakesmykneesweak

    Biden will be smoked after he slurs his way in old-man-slow-motion through the first debate. 

    This is the age of twitter soundbytes and podcasts on 1.5 speed. No one has the time for "the eagles soar over our beautiful land, the majestic vistas and people, ordinary people, americans with God in their hearts, helping each other rake their leaves. What happened with helping thy neighbour rake leaves?"

    Sanders and Warren comes with the passion. Buddaedgeedge with that JFK-quality. Kamala with a no-BS attitude.
    Clueless
    Nice attitude.

    I'm not distorting facts and skewing the truth to make a dishonest argument though.

    I got that going for me atleast. Clueless or not. Not a fan of lying my way through a discussion.


    I think the French would say..sans l'indication

    Biden will be this elections Jeb Bush.

    Mark my words.
    Not even close.
    Agreed.  This is Biden s to lose. 
    That's pretty obvious by the polls.

    Which at the start of the GOP primaries most thought it was Jebs to lose.

    Front runners and inevitable candidates have a history of flaming out.

    Only time will tell, but my guess is Biden isn't going to fair to well in the debates, everyone is going to beat up on the guy in the lead. And Biden has a history of losing.
    I don't think this sounds clueless.
    He's not clueless so there's that.

    Can you two just stop it? I mean, of course you can do what you want, but just FYI, your little ongoing tiff is getting annoying for the rest of us. Also, I love you both. ;)

    Not distorting facts and numbers to skew perception Trump-style either. To my knowledge. That would be straight shitty behaviour on a message board, I'd say.

    I mean, who  would do something like that...

    This thing with reparations(?) to the black community. Has that been an issue before this election?

    Never heard of it before this year...

    "Not since Barack Obama has a candidate ignited such a buzz" 

    I have a theory on what camp Chris M is in.

    It's a thing. It's been around as long as I can remember. Here's a brief history via Wikipedia:

    I’m not sure if this is where your head’s at, but I have a very low threshold for disingenuous people/behaviours, and less so when it’s someone else’s name/character being dragged through the coals - and that’s why it’s getting to me.

    Just try your hardest to do it when you feel that alluring urge to distort the truth and skew the facts. And you'll be A-ok!

    Everyone will cut into Bidens numbers after the first debate.

    They will be giving away his numbers like god damn candy.
