Obama might actually be the best kept secret for Republicans this Nov. He called Benghazi a conspiracy theory. What a moron. His inaction led to those 4 Americans do die. FUBO.

Texas will not vote in an open border socialist get into office who wants to confiscate their guns and 2nd Amendment right. Beto isn't even his name. He also has a criminal past. FUBO

Looking to rev up the Obama Coalition...

..
interesting that he hasn't endorsed Anyanna Pressley, nor Ocasio-Cortez.

BTW, who is paying for all these campaign trips? Is he flying coach, or in private jets?

Cruz is genuinely unlikeable and even creepy at time, a problem that Beto does not have.

Check out this twitter parody Cruz ad: https://mobile.twitter.com/joshtpm/stat ... 60?lang=en

(BTW the girl near the end is his own daughter).

If Cruz was not such a bad candidate this race would never be close.

No doubt - Cruz is the know-it-all dweeb sitting in the front of the class raising his hand to answer every question the teacher does and doesn't ask.

That doesn't mean he won't get re-elected, but the fact that the race is close is very much an indictment of his personality (or lack thereof)
STILL somewhere back in the day....

This post bothers me. Ever wonder where that "stud" lacrosse player from that "stud" program went ? Nope, no drugs in Fairfield or Fairfax counties.

And, as I always ask: SO WHAT. What will change? Healthcare will still be outragious in cost. Defense spending will be thru the deficit roof. Slavery will be worshipped as workers rights continue to be trampled. (Visa workers don't follow under min. wage laws )

Here we agree...... seeds sown with this:

The Strike That Busted Unions

Since this time we have been re-arranging deck chairs with some marginal improvements...... once you start down a path, it is hard to turn back....... we are headed down a few steep paths with this administration.......

There is one major party out there that has attempted to improve Healthcare, improve worker protections and consumer protections, and has seen a decrease in deficits over their terms while in the White House for the past 7 presidents or so. Certainly to varying degrees of success and failure, due to internal and external forces, and with their share of problems, but they are at least trying.

It's sure not the Republicans. While I agree with a lot of R stances, they just don't follow through on implementing any of them that I value as a voter. They just pay lip-service.

Thought Clinton changed the law so they could strike? Ted Kennedy put forward, year after year, reversal of this IKE era law. Bernie and Fiengold took the reins. It is at the forefront of the DNC platform. Obama will write about his political triumph in his upcoming book.

But, but.....trump sucks.

Healthcare is improved? Please show me the way :roll: (aside from the pre-existing, and even regarding this it's not true) Isn't forced consumerism a CONservative brainchild?

Isn't Trump trying?
