We tracked down the 2020 Democrats and asked them the same set of questions.

The Questions:

1. In an ideal world, would anyone own handguns?

3. Do you think it’s possible for the next president to stop climate change?

4. Do you think Israel meets international standards of human rights?

5. Who is your hero, and why?

6. Would there be American troops in Afghanistan at the end of your first term?

7. How many hours of sleep do you get a night?

8. Do you think illegal immigration is a major problem in the United States?

9. Where would you go on your first international trip as president?

10. Describe the last time you were embarrassed. Why?

Regardless of their answers, they are likely lies. These are the democrats of today. And why would anyone want to open a link to the NYT (or CNN, etc)?

Limiting expansion of the Supreme Court for political gain is an easy win for Trump. All he has to do is agree wuth the Dems that it’s a good idea and immediately submit the nominations of 12 conservative judges. Liberals will be so outraged that they will immediately file legislation fixing the number at 9.

Trump wins again.

They left out the old Barbara Walters classic: “If you were a tree, what kind would you be?”

Wow, is that a painful site. Can’t they just give a summary without having to page down 20 times past each imbedded, giant video?

No and No. This isn’t even a real choice.

I’ll be honest: the only one I paid any attention to was Harris since she’s not eligible to be POTUS. In most of the cases she did not answer the question, a fav trick of hers. For example:

Q: Do you think illegal immigration is a major problem in the United States?

A: “We need to pass comprehensive immigration reform, period.”

Q: Describe the last time you were embarrassed. Why?

A: “I just think it’s so important not to take yourself too seriously.”

I doubt the voters will take you seriously.

Hopefully, sometime between now and next summer, an entity will have the balls to chase the ‘not eligible’ issue.

Bump. Unfortunately, your additions take way more balls and chutzpah than the NYT has.

5. Who is your hero and why? The Devil. Cause he’s everything we stand for and by doing his commands we become more like him.

I don’t believe Castro is eligible
due to his mother being the
daughter of an illegal immigrant.
