Another Migrant Child Dies In Texas; 4th To Die In U.S. Custody Since December

Republicans are going to have to own the murder of immigrant children through neglect.

lol you idiot, if they didn't come here it wouldn't happen.

I don't think Democrats learned anything from 2016. They're doubling down on the kind of intrusive, "we know better" government that is alienating middle America.

Intrusive? You want to force women to have unwanted babies and you’re saying that it’s the Democrats who are intrusive?

No. Your stereotypes fail you again.

Republicans are such stereotypes we know exactly what they’re going to say before they say it.

lol you idiot, if they didn't come here it wouldn't happen.

If I was in a burning building I would do everything I could to escape it. Just like those people do. Even our constitution has protections for immigrants seeking asylum.

It’s Republicans who are cruel as fuk and mean as junkyard dogs.

At least they can’t run on morals and values for the next election.

If Democrats continue to tilt socialist, they will lose. And if they lose, the US might not recover.

Dems will shift towards the middle
They always do

And I was pointing out that it’s Republicans who want to legislate women’s bodies.
Not only that, they wanna protect the gun rights of school shooters.
Not sure which is worse. Forcing a 12-year-old girl who’s been raped to have a baby or taking a rapist who tortured first and sexually assaulted a woman and giving him only 10 years but taking the Doctor Who save that woman’s sanity a life sentence.
You tell me.

No, you claimed that I held those views. I don't. I'm not a Republican. In fact, I'm arguing exactly the opposite of what you claim in another thread right now. If the best you have to defend your views is "but the other guy", you've already lost. You've admitted you can't defend them.

Even though it’s not right, I totally get why you’re working so hard to present an us against them mentality. But it’s a really piss poor argument.
Democrats worked tirelessly during the Obama administration to get healthcare to millions of Americans, even your kind.
Democrats work to make education available to everybody, even your kind.
Democrats want clean air and clean water for all Americans, even your kind.
And that’s because you’re American, even if you are filled with hate and racism.

I agree. I think that’s perfect. It’s something that would appeal to both sides. Republicans because that’s how they think.
And Democrats because they know that’s how Republicans think.

Your comment was a deflection. Worse, it was an ad-hom accusing me of something that is demonstrably untrue - go read the abortion threads, I'm on several. The least you could do is admit you were wrong. Apology is optional.

The debates are all about format, who the moderator is, and what s/he lets them get away with.

Unfortunately, they are run by news outlets that want to maximize viewership, so they are not really looking for content, but rather entertainment value.

Astute people watching the "debates" of prior elections can only walk away pissed off that the candidates were able to avoid answering questions, answer questions that were not asked, and to go off bloviating about irrelevancies.

Honestly, it's less painful to just watch YouTube during the debates and read about it in the WSJ the next morning.

The only thing painful about the debates was the stupid number of Republicans in the debates for the nomination. Everyone got three minutes to set forth their stance on a complex issue; it might as well not happened at all. It did give face recognition to some of them, I guess.
The ones with Trump and Hillary went okay, I thought, although the only winner I recall was Chuck Wallace, moderator of debate #3, who did a spectacular job.

Yeah no more than five for the first round
And no more than 3 after that.

He seems incapable of discussing politics outside the context of the left/right pissing match. But that can be said of most posters on the board, I guess.
