Asswipe moron crooks espouse the virtues of the noble center voter.

quote:

An argument for Medicare for All is that it would decrease costs by putting everyone into a big pool. I imagine you don’t support that. What do you think the government's place in healthcare should be?
I'm not a proponent of a single-payer system. I believe in the private sector and I think they should be able to [make] healthcare more efficient. At the same time, the government needs to play a role because every American has a right to basic healthcare. We have a moral obligation to provide that to people. The government needs to play a role in creating, in structuring the system so that everyone gets covered. The Affordable Care Act brought another 20 to 25 million people into the system that needed to be in the system. It was the biggest piece of social legislation in decades and because it was a straight party-line vote, it just contributed to this partisanship and divisiveness that has gotten even worse since the Affordable Care Act passed.

Do you think that the partisanship that happened during the debate over the ACA was just the Republicans' fault? Or do you also blame the Democrats?
I blame them both. Listen. The United States Senate is only a 100 people. It's a hundred human beings. If these guys cannot develop relationships and trust among each other so that they can have civil conversations and reach reasonable solutions to things like healthcare, then we don't have the right people in that body, and we certainly don't have the right leadership there.

This guy's especially rich, and he's running for the senate in Maryland.

It's not. The government of PR is poo poo and that's due in large part to a century of indifference towards and mismanagement of the territories by Washington.

Guam is also a black hole federal dollars disappear into but it's kept functional because the Air Force would mutiny if the AC was off for more than a few days.

The manger babies don't have feelings. You said it yourself.
2016: Russia used social media to try and undermine Hillary Clinton because at the time she was expected to win.

What Russia didn’t count on was that the Democratic Party would follow in the tradition of the part and boldly snatch defeat from the mouth of victory.

For Russia, it’s like the dog the caught the car and doesn’t know what to do now.

It probably won't amount to anything, but Senator Mike Lee's (R-Utah) communications director, Conn Carroll (https://twitter.com/conncarroll) posted a tweet mocking students who were marching to end gun violence. He's since deleted it, and I haven't been able to find it but he's getting poo poo on a bit on Twitter right now:
