Only if it lasts the whole month. She's a strange person.

This thread is about the debate - not about beer.  As a moderator I am going to can you and ship you to a non-beer country if you mention beer again.

What is this "beer" of which you speak?

I agree.

I guess it never occurred to these idiots that when they speak in Spanish, they piss off most of the non-Spanish speaking Americans watching.

I wouldn't be offended by "yo quiero taco bell."

They're just showing who and what they are by their blatant pandering to the illegals.

Listening to these wingnuts talking about Medicare, and how they want all of America on it....do any of these fools know the slightest thing about Medicare?  I doubt it!  Literally every person I know on Medicare condemn it as a trash health program.  Not a single person has a kind word to say about it.  Just last week a friend that is 72, on Medicare said "just you wait until your on Medicare...worthless piece of shit program".

I am on Medicare but I also have a supplemental policy with United Health Care.  That policy pays for whatever Medicare does not pay.

Here is a problem with Medicare: About five years ago, my doctor left; had to find another doctor.  My friend suggested her doctor, so I called their office to make an appointment.  It was going well, then she asked about insurance and I said Medicare, also United Health Care.  She said, "I am sorry, we don't accept Medicare patients."  I could not go to that doctor.  At that point, I called a retired doctor I knew who happened to be the Republican County Chairman.  He gave me the name of a doctor friend of his.  I called his office and was accepted as a Medicare patient.  It is a fact some doctors will not accept a Medicare patient.

Biden’s first priority as President on Day One would be to defeat Donald Trump

At least The Buttgigger can give a relatively succinct answer on his first action in office. Man these people like to hear themselves talk.

   America will have 500K charging stations by 2030, Joe, unless the Gov gets involved, which you advocate.

A four-hour Marianne Williamson vs. Donald Trump debate is what America really deserves.

OK! I tuned in on YOUR recommendation @EdJames.  Didn't make a full minute!

Bernie Sanders: “That’s a mischaracterization of my statement.”
Rachel Maddow: “That’s a quote.”

A source close to the Biden campaign tells me his staff is “freaking out” about his poor performance tonight.

The source said that internally, field staff says the campaign-organized debate watch parties in early voting states have been “awkward” and that Biden isn’t playing well to those who attended.

According to Biden’s staff, he isn’t listening to his debate prep and he’s “set in his ways,” the source close to the campaign tells me.

I am late to the party.  WHY....the word...is; FREE!   

[LegalAmerican]

F.Chuck asks RF how he would address potential Trump crimes if he's not impeached. Beta says Trump invited a foreign power to interfere we must start impeachment now and if we can't my DOJ will pursue these facts.

The demon-rats WANTING ILLEGAL INVADERS...into our country to vote for them, isn't FOREIGN  INTERFERENCE? 

obama started the hoax....SPYGATE...WHO ARE THE CRIMINALS? 

[EdJames]

We must have vastly different senses of humor!  My face sill hurts and I am still laughing every time I see a "replay."

Almost every time one of the ten opened their mouths it was hilarious!

Clown Car Debate - Part II

Well, let it be said, Sanders was asked about raising taxes on the Middle Class, and he said 'yes, I would raise taxes on the Middle Class'.

LET'S GET REAL, EVERYONE OF THE DEMS WOULD RAISE TAXES IN AS MANY WAYS AS THEY CAN THINK OF!

The only candidate on the stage tonight that said something insightful was Mr. Wang.  He indicated if we only had half the Fair Tax that Europe has, we would generate $800 billion in revenue.  I am tired of the burden being on the wage earners for taxes, particularly when I know an architect in his 70s that made a six figure income most of his life and NEVER filed a tax return or pay a dime in federal income tax.  I do not understand how he managed to stay off the radar, but I guess he never filed, possibly does not have a Social Security ID, etc.  I know a number of folks that have a very high cash income, approaching six figures, and not a one of them claim more than $10,000 a year in income.  Add in the entire criminal world, all the folks that work for cash, and this nation loses HUGE amounts of revenue, and the working/middle class carry all of them.

I am 100% in favor of a Fair Tax as our primary means of taxation, and a huge reduction of income taxes, and the elimination of the IRS as we know it today.  Perhaps all income taxes should go the way of the dinosaurs.

If Trump wants to learn a lesson from former Sen Jim DeMint, just campaign on the notion of eliminating the IRS.  Guaranteed election.  That was the ONLY thing DeMint said that was rational when he first ran for Senator in South Carolina, and on that issue only, the folks in SC voted for him.  He literally sounded like a quack on everything else he uttered.

Harris had some solid sound bites, but there is something with her that stimulates my shudder response.  Plus, she literally has no personality.  NONE!

Sanders sounded every bit the kook he is.  His numbers have to plummet after tonight.  And Biden, he played it safe, and in doing so, remains the stagnant personality he always has been.  He was a weak sister that was selected by a total incompetent to be his VP.  He is the king of gaffs, and I do not see him making it to Iowa.

Last but not least, I still believe HRC jumps in sometime in the Fall, and when she does, all the oxygen gets sucked out of Biden's campaign.

Finally, listening to Gillibrand talking about the efforts of those attempting to end abortion as radical disgusts me.  Abortion may well end up again in the Supreme Court, but do not hold your breath for Chief Justice Roberts to vote against abortion.  I am certain that POS will use the it has been law for nearly 50 years, so we will not eliminate it at this time.  Go back and review your wording, or some such nonsense like he pulled this week.  We do not have a conservative court at present.  Not even close.

It’s also tough to find a doctor that also accepts  Medicaid patients. One of the reasons why doctors will accept  Medicare patients is because most Medicare patients have supplemental private insurance.

  These politicians that are demanding Medicare for All  have no clue how the Medicare system works much less any idea that it’s  also facing insolvency

Not sure everyone's insurance will allow, but since this health care debacle, I have on file a contingency PCP who I use at least once per year. Just for that reason that was listed above.  I am <3 yrs. away from Medicare, but. I sure want to make sure I am prepared.
