    My lord,  I hate when people try to find points of commonality with those they may fundamentally disagree with.  Next thing you know,  they'll be working together on common sense solutions.  Then our Republic will end.

    Since there is a good chance trump gets 4 more years aren't we precariously close to that ?

    Watched FOX for a bit yesterday and its non stop "the president did nothing illegal "

    Non stop

    And if he loses he'll blame the fake impeachment for ruining his campaign and totally legitimately will refuse to leave the white house 

    Then what?

    So I'm not sure how we work together with that crew.

    Agreed.  I don't know what Trump would do,  but I do believe he's an anomaly. I do not believe the next Republican president would act so recklessly and unlawfully.

    “Let me tell you what we can do with that 2 cent wealth tax,” Warren responded. “And we can provide universal child care for every baby in this country and that is transformative. We can provide universal pre-k for every 3-year-old and 4-year-old in America. We can stop exploiting the women, largely black and brown women who do this work. And we can raise the wages of every child care worker and pre-schoolteacher in America. We can put $800 billion new federal dollars into all of our public schools. We can make college tuition-free for every kid. We can put $50 billion into historically black colleges and universities. And we can cancel student loan debt for 95% of the folks who have got it. 2 cent wealth tax and we can invest in an entire generation’s future.”


    Does anyone think that math works?

    So what’s Gabbard’s purpose?  I think she’s there to complain about the Democrat nomination process and continue to do so after she loses so people will stay home.  That would mean she is trying to help Trump.  Yeah.

    I dont agree with it and it probably doesn't work in America bc we are too busy creating billionaire idols.

    But numerous other countries accomplish programs like these as their citizens work fewer hours and their cost of living is far more attainable than what Americans have.

    I do give Tulsi a little bit of a pass in that she served in a medical unit in a combat zone in Iraq. She knows firsthand the horrors of war and I take that into consideration.   I do understand others opinions about her as well.

    Don't get me wrong, I really hope Pete can become THE guy, but I'll settle for 2nd in this scenario. Whatever gives the best chance at returning to normalcy.

    Pete probably has a better shot in the next election cycle.  I would not think he would risk a future presidential run by accepting a potentially fatal VP run this election.
