“CNN pretends they will back her in the General.”

Same crap they pulled on McCain.
Just look at how Maverick reached across that aisle after being nominated.
Hadda laugh when obama gave our raging war hero the finger code at their debate.

I remember after McCain was the nominee, Madonna did some concert where she flashed a video montage of evil leaders, like Hitler, Idi Amin, and then McCain’s pic was included.

Every Republican Nominee eventually becomes “Hitler”.

You are either truly delusional, or this is one of the better troll accounts I have seen.

Why didn’t Trump fix that problem when he was president?

No I’m truly informed. Only a delusional individual would believe that our current Federal Reserve banking system is likely to continue for more than another year. The entire world is moving to a new system. BRICS is just the first phase. Ignorance is not an excuse.

I can’t stand the neocon Nikki Haley but something will have to be done if we are to salvage Social Security. I’m not adverse to eliminating benefits for the very wealthy. I have a very wealthy uncle (multi-millionaire) still practicing law at 77 y/o and collecting $3k plus in SS that he really doesn’t need He already has more money than he’ll ever be able to spend as it is and won’t miss the extra money he currently receives from SS.

“The problem is going to go away on its own.”

Ahhhh, that’s an advanced problem solving technique you have there.

I suspect they think a significant number of voters are impressed by “donor backing”

I don't think they believe that at all.

The "donor community" is a small tribe that covet social proof from their fellow donors, and cultivate media for a stamp of approval of their nefarious deeds.

That's all it is. I don't know if any other Western state that has voting allows such a thing. Is there a "donor community" in Austria? In Portugal?

Touching SS is political suicide. By the numbers, boomers are now retiring in droves and the seniors are a large voting bloc.

Until Conservatives paid into it for years. Touch my SS and I’ll shank you!

SS soundness is only as good as the honesty of those currently paying the taxes which fund the benefits.

In 2023, there are enough honest taxpayer/voters to keep the promise and fund those who have paid into it.

If you were paying attention to the morals of the children who are currently being raised and the allegiance those who are currently breaking into the country have to the natives, you would realize that SS is going away quickly.

I have been paying (they have been stealing) 15% of the value of my labor for decades but I am certain that I won't see a penny.

If we were a serious and sane country, then only viable candidates WOULD talk about SS and Medicare. We’re driving towards a cliff, but anyone who dares bring it up gets attacked. We deserve our fate.

She might as well say she wants gravity to cool it for awhile.

a policy that sets her apart from her closest competitors for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination: A willingness to stake out positions on the politically fraught issue of overhauling the nation’s entitlement programs.

Her "policy" is a "willingness to stake out positions?" Her idea to make everybody register with the govt. for social media disappeared quickly.

“I used to be one of those who wanted Social Security eliminated. I changed my mind when the people in Washington who were proposing major changes to Social Security were the same bucket full of @ssholes who were hell-bent on pissing away thousands of American lives and trillions of dollars on unlimited military campaigns in Third World dumps all over the globe.”

Agreed—and their refusal to close the border to third world invaders was another factor.

They hate us—don’t even try to hide it anymore.
