    Dems are also the group that put that shitshow on the stage last night.

    Cultists not living in reality.

    Take the over on Trump at 34.

    I like how it cites that 60% of voters approved of government run healthcare in exiting polling. At a Democratic primary. They can barely get half of the Dems to support that position, and you think conservatives and center folks want that? His platform is DOA. Sorry APAG.

    Medicare for All always gets positive polling numbers until you introduce the details. You'll have to give up your private health insurance coverage and your taxes are going to go up. When you tell the truth about MFA support drops like a rock.

    Is the National Review going to endorse Bernie?

    Bernie likes to say “Democratic socialism” like it’s different from Socialism.

    He likes to do that.

    Bernie is really a Communist. He calls himself a "Democratic Socialist" to cover up that fact.

    Socialist is just a dodge for communists to use anyway

    Like Jihadis any lie told in the pursuit of power is fine.

    To my point.

    And no speak of revolution.

    It may confuse some folks.

    They could always try honesty. But even Bernie figured out that if he wanted play on the national stage he'd have to tone his Marxist down.

    No. Not a chance.

    I think if Bloomberg were better on his feet and didn't have to bear the yoke of representing a party of retards, he might have been a semi-electable progressive.

    I just don't see it though. He's a little late to the party. Other than the coronvirus, which won't hurt Trump IMO, things are going pretty swimmingly for Trump. Add to that incumbent status and striking out two or three times trying to hang him, and I think it's a foregone conclusion at this point.

    To be fair (and I think a ton of conservatives have stopped identifying with the party) the Republican party is just as messed up. The deep state had taken control of the Bush/McCain/Romney Republican party. These types helped to sell out our country to China, loved how war and illegal immigration increased profits and were just happy being at the table set by career government employees almost entirely controlled by the Democrats.

    I've seen some pretty unchinspiring candidates in 5'ish decades on this planet. Mondale, Dole, Dukakis, McCain...Bloomberg is by FAR the least chinspiring and motivational candidate I have ever seen.

    He is the nerd who got rich and thinks everybody likes him. They like him because he's rich.

    Fair

    What if Trump does lead a landslide and the GOP gets the House and Senate? What will they do with it? Probably nothing except start running for 2024

    If the GOP doesn't come up with something to replace Obamacare in a free market kind of solution we will get single payer someday. You can take that to the bank. The blood bank

    It's coming for sure. I think eventually we'll see a system like they have in Sweden. There was an amazing documentary done about a year ago on the misnomer of how "socialist" the Scandinavian countries really are. True socialism almost destroyed them back in the 60's and 70's until they reformed and privatized government. In many ways, they're more capitalistic than the United States. Yes they are taxed into oblivion (something like 70%) but everyone from the wealthy to the poor share equally in this high taxation. Many of the big government social programs are run by private entities so there is more accountability and less corruption.

    The Democrats screamed Russia! Russia! Russia! for three years, now a communist is the front runner to be nominated as President by the party.

    Interfere in the market and blame the market. Rinse repeat.
