The Democratic Candidates

Thank you first. But second I wouldn't say I'm satisfied. Through a combination of gov't pull back, university over investments in amenities and poor choices by students, college seems less affordable than it should be. We need to get back to the equilibrium we had prior to the turn of the century. I went to a state school and it was $35 an undergrad credit and $65 a grad credit, that was in 92 when I started. This was most affordable. US universities do offer egalitarian opportunities generally speaking, but the cost needs to come back inline with inflation.Meltdown99 said:I'm just gonna say this mrussel1 is one of the best posters on here.

Yes agreed. BTW - I see your 94 Bayfront quote. Were you there? I was fortunate to be there. Second time I saw them, first was at Lolla in Orlando in 92. Bayront was awesome. Looking back, it feels like it was chaos.mickeyrat said:

While the numbers are not surprising in themselves, where Biden's strength comes from seems to be curious. His rise correlates with Sanders' fall. You wouldn't think Biden would be take votes from Sanders. My guess is it's about the name recognition and the Democrats who aren't paying close attention yet. So Sanders had strength from 2016 from the casual political follower, and then Biden took it. Just a guess.mickeyrat said:latest polling date on topic.....0 -

It’s about electability. Biden is electable, Bernie is not. And how bad could Biden be following Team Trump Treason?mrussel1 said:

I think they have Biden in a bunker somewhere doing debate prep. I’m nervous about Biden. I watched the Biden and Ryan debate the other day and it was even better than I remember, lol. I was laughing so hard.Biden totally dominated, but Ryan was a total pushover. I think these debates are gonna be so fun. I can’t wait for the brackets to come out, lol

Biden is an excellent debater. He's very good at drawing in personalized stories, naming people by name, talking about a street he's walking down. It's very effective. He smoked Ryan. I hope he still has the touch.Hi! said:I think they have Biden in a bunker somewhere doing debate prep. I’m nervous about Biden.

Right, I hope he does. I worry he may not be as quick witted as maybe he once was. Mistakes in a debate are magnified so much more than a mistake at like a rally or on campaign trail.mrussel1 said:

I also don’t want him to be overconfident or come off as cocky, which I’m sure he won’t.
It makes me nervous everyone saying Biden’s are only chance. I feel like ive heard that before and it didn’t work out.Detroit 2000, Detroit 2003 1-2, Grand Rapids VFC 2004, Philly 2005, Grand Rapids 2006, Detroit 2006, Cleveland 2006, Lollapalooza 2007, Detroit Eddie Solo 2011, Detroit 2014, Chicago 2016 1-2, Chicago 2018 1-2, Ohana Encore 2021 1-2, Chicago Eddie/Earthlings 2022 1-2, Nashville 2022, St. Louis 2022

Yeah, because now she's a running for the democratic nomination and thus she has to hate the NRA.mickeyrat said:

That's not good. In 2008, one should have been well aware of the NRA being nothing but a gun lobby. I'm a big proponent of what's called 'historical perspective', which means assessing people against the norms of the time. For example, Abe Lincoln probably wasn't for desegregating schools. JFK probably didn't support gay marriage. That doesn't make them bigots. Those were far off concepts at the time. One should have been critical of the NRA in 2008.Ledbetterman10 said:

Zero-chance Swalwell has an honest aura. Obviously should have keyed his family members cars for voting for Trump. But, well oh well:
