These Democratic Party presidential candidates are unqualified...and weird

William Buckley once said he would rather be governed by the first 2,000 people in the Boston phone book than the entire Harvard faculty.

After watching the October 15 Democratic Party presidential candidate debate, I would rather have as president any of the first 2,000 in any phone book in any city in the USA than the present weird bunch of Democrats.

Joe Biden is out of it. He said "coupon-clippers in the stock market" should pay the same tax rates as teachers and firefighters. The "coupon-clippers" are primarily those who buy municipal bonds that are tax-free. The interest is tax-free to induce investors to buy bonds floated by cities, school districts, and states to fund public projects. Maybe Biden doesn't know this. And he doesn't know that the tax rate on taxable dividends and interest is the income tax rate and not the capital gains tax.

Maybe Biden should ask his son Hunter, who is such a savvy investor that the Chinese gave him $1.5 billion to invest. Or he could have asked Tom Steyer, the arrogant billionaire hedge fund guy who pays the capital gains tax and not the "teacher and firefighter rate." Steyer spent $40 million to get in the debates. Steyer is one of the coupon-clippers described by Biden. If Steyer, who has the same chance of winning as Beto, were a Republican, the Dems and the media would ask how many poor people could have been fed with the $40 million wasted by Steyer.

Elizabeth Warren, AKA Pocahontas, says she will fund Medicare for all by taxing the "wealthy and big corporations." Even Joe Biden found this ludicrous and unbelievable. She refused to answer the question whether she will raise taxes on the middle class to fund Medicare for all.

All the candidates have proposals to “fix health care.” Nobody asked the candidates why we need to “fix health care,” since Obama supposedly fixed it with his Obamacare. We were told by Obama, Biden, and Pelosi that Obamacare would reduce premiums and insure the uninsured and that we could keep our doctors. Evidently, Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and the rest of the gang lied to us. Shocking.

All of the current wannabes are unqualified, and at least one is ineligible. This is the most pathetic roster I think I’ve ever seen.

The DIMS/LIBS running represent LIB lunatics everywhere. LIBs are all lunatics. It is merely a matter of degree. Pox upon them all.

From the end of the article: ".... The only chance the survivor of this bunch has to beat President Trump is for the Democrats and the corrupt media to continue to attack President Trump on a daily basis, as they have done since his election. That is the reason for the Pelosi-Schiff impeachment 'inquiry'...."

My thoughts, exactly.

Yes, the slate is definitely weird. Consider what the Republican slate would be had an outsider such as Trump not commandeered it. That's the state of politics in the United States at the moment and it's scary as hell.

We can stave off a great nation being run by a ridiculous gaggle of globalist Oompa Loompas for another four years and then what? Start voting for the lesser of two evils that are essentially identical once again? I honestly wish I knew.

All of the Democratic Party Presidential Candidates are 3 things - Sick, Perverted and Demented.

THIS JUST IN: Biden told reporters that even though he's the Democrap low-man, he was not concerned about campaign finances.
"We’ve raised a lot of money online, and offline." (And besides Hunter's got a big stash offshore in numbered accounts.)

HAT TIP NY POST-----Biden’s war chest of $8.9 million was a small fraction of what rivals have on hand.....
but he's spending like there's no tomorrow, FEC data shows.

Biden's lavish expenses include:
<><> $924,000 for private jets, about one out of every $16 raised
<><> taking in $15.7M BUT spending $17.6M during that same period.
<><>more than $20,000 at the luxury Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan;
<><> more than $14,000 at the Coronado Island Marriott in San Diego —
<><> more than $10,500 at the W Hotel in Los Angeles,
<><> big buck$ at other high-end hotels.

Biden’s campaign spent almost $9M on payroll,
blew through $228,378 on "research consultants" and $150,400 on “strategic consultants.”

(Sniffle) A Biden aide told The Daily Beast that some of Biden's private jet travel cost was for (sob) carbon offsets,
which compensate for the greenhouse gas emissions caused by personal air travel (sobbing uncontrollably).
