Obviously the radical LIBs are going to stab Biden in the back.
You all read it hear!
NONE of the current candidates are going to get the nomination.
Someone who has not yet declared will end up being the nominee and will then be subsumed by Trump.
 
That's probably how the dems felt in 2016 looking at the 17 GOP candidates.
Which of these clowns has a chance against Hillary?
Trump needs to act more presidential, and put up a 2020 agenda that makes sense.
The Memo: Trump second-term agenda begins to emerge
Immigration
Economy
Healthcare
Infrastructure
Continue Protectionist Trade Policy (to get/keep US jobs)

Agenda Items that would ensure Trump's re-election are:
1. Fix Medicare (bankrupt 2026)
2. Fix Social Security (bankrupt 2034)
3. Reduce the Budget Deficit by repealing the tax cut to the top tax rate.
4. Increase revenue by implementing a "stock transaction tax" and possibly a new Federal Sales Tax (aka "value added tax") to also pay for infrastructure
 
3. Reduce the Budget Deficit by repealing the tax cut to the top tax rate.
4. Increase revenue by implementing a "stock transaction tax" and possibly a new Federal Sales Tax (aka "value added tax") to also pay for infrastructure

Fuck increasing theft (i.e. "revenue")....All spending needs to be drastically cut and entire agencies abolished.

Put up your Budget. Cutting agencies is peanuts. Its entitlements and defense that are the big ticket items.

If you're fool enough to think that there's a way to tax our way out of this mess, I don't even know what to say.

Not just tax, but cut spending and raise taxes, the math works, doing nothing is a disaster, interest on the Debt will consume everything:

Here are recommendations to cut spending and raise revenue to start paying down the $22T Debt
A. Hire another "Grace Commission" to audit and fix the Federal budget deficit


B. B. Cut Spending: [CUT $625b a year]
1. Cut defense to 2017 levels $600b until the Debt is reduced, saving $150b
2. Cut foreign aid $55b (until Debt is paid we can't borrow to give money away)
3. Cut Welfare $200b & Medicaid $200b (about half)
4. Cut education $20b (state responsibility)

Abolish which agencies? Education? HUD? That's $90b
Cut Defense. Agree, but slowly, smartly say $150b to $600b a year, that's $240b a year total cut
Cut Welfare & Medicaid $200b that's $440b a year total cuts
Can't cut Medicare. We paid for that, you don't touch that. We need to fix it.
No fucking way you phase out Social Security, we paid for that, its retirement income. We need to fix it.

So you cut about $450b a year, about half the deficit. Now for new revenue:
1. Raise the top tax rate to 7% above 2016 +$400b
2. Add new stock transaction tax +$100b
3. Add new "3% value added tax" aka sales tax +$400b
That's about $900b in new revenue + $450b a year in cuts so it actually pays down the Debt about $450b a year
Add an increase to the gas tax to pay for Infrastructure and the Budget works well. No one gets screwed.

You tax like a progressive....Good luck on the constitutional amendment you'll need for that Euroweenie VAT.


Now abolish the Departments of Commerce, Education, Labor, Energy, HUD, EPA & DHS...Abolish the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and all of its attendant hangers-on...Devolve the FDA to the private sector and abolish the DEA...Privatize the FAA.

Like I said, quit pussyfooting around.
 
after going through hours upon hours of oppo research on Biden, i can honestly say i am bored of him!
 
None of them matter.
The party and media has gone "all in" on Biden.

At this point during last election Jeb Bush, Scott Walker and lil' Rubio were leading the GOP polls
Jeb was their anointed and at the time I wouldn't vote Republican.
Trump changed that.
Liberals don't have a Trump like personality to overtake Biden.
Male, pale and stale Joe it will be.

They can only hope.

Biden is currently the one chance that the dems have to state that the nut jobs have not taken the democrat party over. If they put Biden up he will win hands down. the other clowns, unlikely.
 
Kamala isn’t just running against Trump. She’s running against a broken system, she’s running with legit plans to make life better in this country, and she’s running with a STORY that regular folks can relate to.... That’s why she has my vote. And that’s why she can win.

The boring ones are those we know next to nothing about...I see six there that I couldn't tell you anything at all about without doing a web search.

The only reason I know anything about the rest (except Klobuchar) is that they have all (except Tulsi and Yang) said something incomprehensibly stupid on camera or before a hot mic....Stupid will get you more face time on the media than just about anything else these days.
