When a N.H. voter asks, "how do you explain the performance in Iowa,” Joe Biden responds, “it’s a good question. Number one, Iowa is a Democratic caucus. You ever been to a caucus?..No you haven’t. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier.”
i mean he’s got 1 side right, but he didnt really do anything yet. so we can give +.5. but he also did do tax cuts so that;s like -1. so hes definitely in the bad side.
Classic republican playbook. Cut taxes with promises to cut spending and offset with increase in economic activity. It’s never really happened before but I’m sure it will this time.
“Mr. Buttigieg’s stint in the Navy isn’t as impressive as he makes it out to be. His 2019 memoir is called “Shortest Way Home,” an apt description of his military service. He entered the military through a little-used shortcut: direct commission in the reserves. The usual route to an officer’s commission includes four years at Annapolis or another military academy or months of intense training at Officer Candidate School. ROTC programs send prospective officers to far-flung summer training programs and require military drills during the academic year. Mr. Buttigieg skipped all that—no obstacle courses, no weapons training, no evaluation of his ability or willingness to lead. Paperwork, a health exam and a background check were all it took to make him a naval officer.”
In this year’s presidential campaign, the distorting effects of providing such power to two virtually all-white states in an increasingly diversifying party have grown impossible to ignore… Both near- and long-term questions are swirling around the privileged positions of Iowa and New Hampshire.
I’m always surprised how dumb some of the liberal discussions around best candidate are. People always talk about who is most popular in their liberal state. You’re not losing votes to Trump in CA and MA and even if you did it’s not going to swing the state and matter. The best candidate is the one that wins the swing states, period. Hillary definitely didn’t get that simple point and I don’t think average libs still do although Bernie and some of the candidates do seem to ge that.
So right now we have sleepy joe (who is senile and beyond creepy), bloomberg the racist, 1/1024 Pocahontas, crazy bernie the socialist who made millions selling a book, and a mayor (don’t even remember his name). And most, if not all fly in private jets while they tell us common folk to cut our carbon emissions, are protected by armed guards while wanting to impose gun control, and most became rich while in office while wanting to basically rob those who were successful in the private sector.
And the entire party is supported by fake news who tried to cover up epstein to promote crooked hillary.
