    I've now read several recaps and gradings of the debate.  I think the consensus on this last debate is that there is no consensus. ;)

    Anyone under 15%, which is the minimum needed to be awarded delegates, should be out by next Wednesday. 

    The debates are a mess partially because there is STILL 7 of them yelling at once.

    So, I watched part of the debate with someone that is right leaning moderate.  Wants to vote Democrat.  When Warren went after bloomberg for helping re-elected Lindsey G and talked about how he supported Repub and Dem candidates alike.  They said "Isn't that a good thing? Don't you need to work with both?"

    I think there's a difference between a Democrat working with a Republican already in office vs. giving a Republican a pile of money to help in his campaign to defeat a Democrat 


    NYC needs it's fair share of funding from congress.

    Per capita, NY always gets the short end of the financial stick (like PJ concerts per capita)

    That's why he built relationships with both parties FFS warren.
    But Lindsey Graham? He wouldn't be able to build a relationship with whomever challenged him, be it another Republican in the primary or the Democrat?
    Graham is a completely different person today than he was 10 years ago.  When McCain died,  he became a Trump lackey.

    I would, like CNN did, blame that on the moderators. I think the yelling will be present as long as Biden, Bernie and Steyer is in the race. No matter how few they are. Haha.

    Why not just mute every mic but the one speaking? To much work? Or do they want the sport-thing with the yelling, and the "viral moments" and the audience cheering?

    This is pretty funny by the way:

    Your president is almost unintelligible in conversation, and like most cowards, doesn't put himself in situations where he has to confront dissent (especially not of the reasonable variety). If Trump does what his character suggests he will, he simply won't show up and will throw cheap punches from behind his Twitter account like he usually does, and you'll undoubtedly be right back here then to proudly declare the genius of your fearless leader.

    Thank you for always sharing your hubris so freely on here.
    I will definitely report back to brag about all the $$$ made on Kleenex stock, killed it in 2016....
    debates and intelligence don't matter to trumpsters, that has been obvious for some time. the republicans tried to fight against it, but the idiot mob was just too big, so they decided to embrace it instead of getting eaten up by it. 

    go back and watch the debates, linda. he was a rambling gasbag that was out of his league. he did nothing but give "I know you are, but what am I" retorts and screaming "WRONG" into the mic. And all you trumpsters called that "killing it". 

    trumpsters brag about fox "news" beating out all other cable news shows. yeah, COPS also dominates ratings. So does american idol. the dumbing down of your country and our society as a whole is nothing to be spouting off praise about. 

    you people would rather have Nelson Muntz in the white house than Martin Prince. And most people with half a brain will never understand it. 
    Hugh Freaking Dillon is currently out of the office, returning sometime in the fall

  • Heard an interview with potential voters in a town outside of Charlotte, NC with a woman working in the kitchen who didn’t have health insurance. She wants the economy to improve but didn’t want anything to do with anything Obama related. She was putting getting health insurance on hold for two years because she couldn’t afford it and didn’t care that Team Trump Treason wasn’t doing anything about it. A customer of the restaurant stated that in these parts, we still believe in American freedoms, like freedom to practice your religion. Other customers stated that they were concealed carrying. This in a suburb, small town of Charlotte. While they made it sound all small town homey and they were voting Team Trump Treason, all I could think was that they live in fear, in their all American, USA town.

    ”We’re crazy but we’re free crazy.” Man is this country fucked.

    No need to worry.

    The United Nations World Happiness Report shows that the happiest nations are concentrated in social democratic nations, especially in Northern Europe, where the Nordic model is dominant. This is at times attributed to the success of the Nordic model in the region, where similar democratic socialistlabourist and social democratic parties dominated the region's political scene and laid the ground to their universalistic welfare states in the 20th century. The Nordic countries, including Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden as well as Greenland and the Faroe Islands, also ranked highest on the metrics of real GDP per capitaeconomic equalitypublic healthlife expectancyhaving someone to count on, perceived freedom to make life choicesgenerosityquality of life and human development while countries practicing a neoliberal form of government have registered relatively poorer results.[436][437] Similar reports have likewise listed Scandinavian and other social democratic countries as ranking high on indicators such as civil liberties,[438] democracy,[439] press,[440] labour and economic freedoms,[441][442] peace[443] and freedom from corruption.[444] Numerous studies and surveys indicate that people tend to live happier lives in countries ruled by social democratic parties, compared to countries ruled by neoliberal, centrist, or right-wing governments.[445][446][447][448]

    You got like too many good comments at the same time.

    That socialism  gif with Bernie will be all over the place if he wins and many like it. Not a positive impression 

    World happiness report? Why TF do you think for a second americans want to be happy? We want our guns and our baby judges. And our wall.

    Trump's Doctor Hid Vegetables In His Food, Because The President Eats Like A Toddler

      Thanks to California screwing the dems by moving to super tuesday with only two days after SC available to campaign there, this is a huge advantage for sanders. Because biden is stuck across the country in SC.

    They really need to stop living in fantasyland out west. Without cali sanders would get 39% on ST

    Bill Maher might get pissed but the first thing the party might do on the 2nd ballot is tell sanders his Cali haul is worth nothing. This is a HORRIBLE way to schedule the biggest state.

    Yeah Bernie's best strategy is too just be louder and shout over the other candidates.  Freaking annoying as hell.  
    At least he gets something out.
