I hate on Pete a lot but I think he would make an excellent Senator or Governor of Indiana, all positions currently held by Republicans. 

Sure, I’d give a Mayor a fair shake if they had an impressive track record of accomplishments at the job but Pete lacks that. 

With respect I think thats dumb as fuck given our current presidents lack of experience. My bigger issue is that his lack of experience isn’t negated by anything substantive. Being smart is not enough to deal with the nihilists that are congressional republicans you’re going to need broad support - which he clearly…

1. It is pretty condescending to assume I haven’t listened to his empty rhetoric. I have, and have come to the correct conclusion that he is just some “wunderkind” party darling who will get tossed around by congressional republicans...kind of like Obama was.

He’s getting a lot of coverage but even Pete admits he’s in a flavor of the month stage. He will need some wonkiness if he wants to sustain his campaign, only so many Beto voters he can siphon. 

1. lack of political accomplishments as Mayor.

Pete’s strategy is not to say anything specific until he absolutely has to. 

Just me but I don’t think we should nominate the mayor of the fourth largest city in Indiana to be President of the United States. 

Counterpoint - ThinkProgress obviously has no editorial independence from CAP and will be used as a front to cowardly smear Sanders. It is clear to anyone who reads these pieces or the emails between Podesta and Tanden that there is something personal here, why shouldn’t that be pointed out? 

Who has adopted his policies? Are they signing up to his m4a plan or coming up with their own versions? Who are the better younger candidates who are identical to Sanders?

If you ask these people whether they would vote for Sanders if he is the nominee most of them will tell you no

There is no “editorial independence” at ThinkProgress

Either works. The road from Santo Domingo to La Romana is not too bad, my biggest concern would be to not drive at night. . CDC is beautiful, I grew up there :) You’re going to have a great time. Make sure to visit Altos de Chavon, check out the river and the little artist colony there and/or have dinner in La…

Undocumented crossing is just not a huge problem. I am opposed with rounding people up and dumping them in cities where they don’t know anyone or have lines on employment etc.

I would not drive at night, are you planning on driving to a lot of places? If its just in town or city you should mostly be fine.

Do you have homeless people in your city? I live in a sanctuary city with lots of homeless people. If city resources are stretched to help them, then they will be stretched to help a sudden influx of immigrants being dumped on them with no notice. 

You have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about, what Sanctuary cities mean, or how stretched municipal budgets already are. I suggest you don’t talk about things you are ignorant about. 

Dominican here. Our roads are DEATH TRAPS. 

You’re dumb as hell.

Thats not the point. Of course we would welcome them but you need more logistics figured out than “we’ve got some farmland”
