He could probably physically run circles around 45, for that matter.

Sure, he’s an “Old White Man.” He’s also a guy who can run high IQ circles around 45; experience-in-politics circles around your-flavor-of-the-day- younger Dem; and a freakin’ circle of compassionate fire around all of the other contenders.

I know it’s not going to happen, but damn, please let Warren and Sanders run together. Their seats are “safe” and they fill in where the other lacks.

Sanders: “Medicare for All is comprehensive. It covers all healthcare needs for senior citizens. It will finally include dental care, hearing aids, and eyeglasses.”

I thought “I wrote the damn bill!” was a bit better, but it’s all good.

I can’t fucking believe this. And I also can’t fucking believe there are so many people out there willing to let Trump, specifically, do it all.

This is how a dictatorship starts. It also needs a bunch of blind followers with enough power to look the other way or back him up. Trump has that too, and it seems 4 out of the 9 Supreme Court justices are with him 100% too. So the future of the country is pretty much on a right wing Supre Court justice or 1 live of…

Well, as we’ve discovered, the whole checks and balances concept is one big illusion that was basically based on the honor system and carries no real consequences if a Republican President decides to completely ignore it.

This strikes me as a product of ego more than anything else. How arrogant must you be to watch the Republicans act like they have, and treat Obama like they did, to think you are the one who can convince them? And, more importantly, what does he plan on offering in return when we concedes and compromises with them?…

The party must not be allowed to continue in its current form.

By stomping them out of existence and in their place building real working class solidarity across racial lines with the backbone being strong union labor.

Joe Biden was Vice President when this very same Republican Party refused to vote on Merrick Garland and attempted to repeal the ACA 904,000 times. He’s had a front row seat to GOP extremism for eight years and yet he’s still talking - at a forum run by the Poor People’s Campaign!! - about “working with Republicans.”

Or let’s start a real, physical revolution if you’re talking about it.

Well the long stated short term goal is to wrestle away power from Biden and Center for American Progress-type organizations. People like Biden telegraph that they can’t be reasoned with, so, you overwhelm them with grassroots support for the progressive causes until these paleocon types drown.

Question for the DSA types and more progressive Dems: if this is how Democrats react to someone as comparatively mild as Sanders, and politics via electoral coalitions necessarily involves compromise — that compromise for a leftier Dem meaning compromise with the right, both within the party itself and with…

I’ll take humanity for $100.

I’m having trouble figuring out if he is such a complete narcissist that freaks out if the spotlight is off him for even an instant or if his brain is so far gone that he doesn’t even realize that he’s NOT part of this year’s production of An American President. Maybe it’s both.

The paranoid theorist in me wondered if Mulvaney was fake-coughing to try to stop Trump from saying something about his finances.

Anyone who ever—even for an instant—takes the spotlight off Special Big Boy is getting a reprimand.

This dude is further up his own ass than the super-serious high school theater kid who hisses at the parents in the audience if someone sneezes during that year’s production of CATS.

Trump: “I hope they get it, because it’s a fantastic financial statement,”
