TWO WORDS: HEALTH CARE
We were promised a ‘great’ plan. He has not delivered. No one cares about the ‘why’, mr. President, deliver GREAT healthcare for EVERY citizen or call it a day. Because the people will vote for even CRAPPY healthcare for all.
Any SOB who even *thinks* about using the words ‘pre-existing’ condition can get a 9mm round to the head as far as I am concerned, slow death from a gut shot would be even better for them; many of us got laid off (losing our health coverage) AFTER we had preexisting conditions and now have difficulty getting covered, AFTER doing everything right for 30+ years. Anyone who is OK with that deserves painful death.
Health care for EVERY American citizen, period, or you’re fired no matter HOW much many of us love everything else you are dong.
Approximately 20 months from the election, a lot can happen but unless there is a substantial event that damages Trump and the Democrats find a decent candidate (and the pool of clowns currently assembled contain none), defeating Trump is going to be a formidable task.
The “ideals of immigration” is to lower prevailing wages. You can’t argue that economic fact of supply and demand. You can argue immigration is good for the country overall(I disagree with that) but the core principle is to increase the labor supply and to lower wages.
The Democrats should follow the lead of Bernie Sanders and give him the nomination which they stole in 2016. And they should clean up their act and embrace freedom of speech as embraced by AOC and Representative Omar. The country may not survive (it won’t anyway) but it sure would be a fun campaign!
Well, of the likely/declared candidates, *every one* of them is authentically communist, credibly anti-American, and viably totalitarian, so in that sense they all fulfill the criteria. Put a name in the blank and tell me where I go wrong. (Hickenlooper is perhaps the least insane of them and he has 0.1% traction) I think the ticket will be Kamala Harris/Bob O’Rourke. She strikes all the victimology classes — black (well, sorta), woman, commie, prostitute... — while he is a prodigious fund raiser.
That #NeverTrump candidate just might pull more votes away from the Democrat than Trump.
How Not to Lose to Donald Trump

Oh that’s easy:
1) Leftists should emigrate from overwhelmingly Leftist states to Red states and...
2) Make sure there are enough ballots harvested in key areas to turn the tide in states that are contested.
That’s precisely what I expect the Left to do.
Immigration can be good for a country.
Now is not the time.
We have far too many natural born citizens who have not assimilated into the prevailing culture or made any attempt to do so, to even consider admitting immigrants.
Poor Rahm Emmanuel!
He has figured out how to get the “dead” to vote, but
he hasn’t figured out how to get the “dead” to pay taxes!
When GDP = 6%+, labor participation rate is in the high 70’s, wages are increasing 7-8% annually and inflation is about 5% annually then and only then can we even consider allowing any immigration.
A never Trump candidate would do about as well as Egg Mcmuffin
If a Democrat "wins" the White House in 2020, I refuse to recognize that person as president.
Usually, the strongest 3rd-party or independent presidential candidate takes votes from the incumbent party. In 2000, when the president was a Democrat, Ralph Nader got about 3%, helping Bush win. In 1992, when Bush ran for re-election, Ross Perot got about 19%, helping Clinton win. In 1968, when the president was a Democrat, George Wallace got 46 electoral votes, helping Nixon win.
2016 -— democrat in office. Bernie Sanders takes away votes from Clinton. Trump wins.
The democrats are in a tough spot. Do they go full on progressive and lose the traditional democrat vote, or do they stay more traditional, and lose the young progressive vote? If they had more time, they could woo both groups, but they can’t get that done in the next several months.
Sanders probably didn’t run as an independent or 3rd-party candidate because about half of the states have sore loser laws that would have prevented him from doing that, since he aleady ran for president, in the democrat primaries, that year.
