The 2020 Presidential Election Primary Thread

Yang got screwed on time... only about 3 minutes. But I like his $1000 per month for everyone. That would only cost like $2 trillion but what the hell.

Biden and Harris dominated getting the most time.

Kamala Harris is winning the google search. The "food fight" comment she made I thought was good. Then she body slammed Biden on being a racist.

Bye, bye Biden.

The food fight comment will play well with Dems but any normal person has to cringe at her assumption that it’s the government’s job to “put food on the table.”

Yes, I agree... But the Dems expect the government to give them and, not to mention, the citizens of the world everything ("free healthcare for everyone"). It like they have no idea what things will cost. Of course, they believe they can tax the rich and/or add a VAT and they will have plenty of money without adding to the debt. Yang's VAT idea would only add about a trillion in tax revenue while his $1000-per-month-for-everyone plan would cost like $2-3 trillion. Clearly they are not normal.

Harris' comments about how the economy isn't doing as great as Trump claims were laughable. People are working 2 and 3 jobs? Man the economy sucks so bad there are multiple jobs available for each person. Measuring the economy by the strength of the stock market? "That's great if you own stock!" Or if you, say, work for any company that trades on the stock market or any company that sells goods or services to a company that trades on the market, which is to say, every single company in America.

Marianne Williamson should use "She Came In Through The Bathroom Window" as her campaign music.

She has the groovy, New Age guru, lava lamp vibe going. Sort of a Walter Lippmann channeling Shirley MacLaine channeling a go-go dancer.

[Moliere]

The problem with Harris (other than her wanting to take away private insurance) is that she’s got so many skeletons in her closet and not just ones republicans can use like the Willie Brown thing. There’s plenty there for the Dems to attack, especially with how she handled incarceration in California.

“According to a recent Gallup poll, 35 percent of Americans call themselves conservative, 35 percent call themselves moderate and 26 percent call themselves liberal. The candidates at the debates this week fall mostly within the 26 percent. The party seems to think it can win without any of the 35 percent of us in the moderate camp, the ones who actually delivered the 2018 midterm win.”

It seems the Dems are handing Drumpf's re-election to him on a silver platter. Remember when Obama said ObamaCare wouldn't apply to illegal immigrants?

All the Dem candidates last night say otherwise (for medicare-for-all)... including the one sitting behind Obama. Too bad they didn't ask this question in the previous debate as well so they all could be on the record for supporting this.

That's going to make a great sound-bite commercial for Drumpf. Even folks with half of a brain understand that will open the floodgates to immigrants and bankrupt the system.

Yep. So ridiculous.

But this swing to the crazy left confrms Newton's Third Law. Kind of faith affirming.

So true.

We need a legit centrist party.

I won't vote for Trump, but the crazy left is also dangerous.

No one is in the same ballpark of dangerousness as Trump, or corruption.

Hey, how is that impeachment stuff going, by the way? When is Pence going to be our president?

[wapiti]

So true.

I won't vote for Trump, but the crazy left is more dangerous.

FIFY

Sounds like the same attitude that got Trump elected. Anyone but Hillary. You end up with some pretty bad elected officials when you base your vote on the other guy.
