Yet, even for the most hardened critics of the network, yesterday’s debate in Des Moines was breathtaking in its unrelentingly negative questions of Sanders followed up relative softballs to others like Sen.

“but they sure are good at fleecing their stupid base! Cha-CHING!”

Unfortunately they are really good at fleecing all of us.

Their “Proposals” if enacted will leave us all broke and dependent on them.

I wasn’t stranded at an airport so I can’t judge.

Estimates were up to 100 a few days ago.

Brian Kilmeade used the figure of 200 on his radio program this morning, citing White House sources who "were worried."

Mind boggling and worry-worthy.

Uh-oh, Abby better recant her crimes or she will be Prisoner #1 in one of Bernie’s camps.
