Very true. The entire US healthcare system has been artificially inflating its prices in a ridiculous bidding war for decades and we get screwed over for it.

I like to point this out but when people talk about a unitary healthcare system, they're missing the forest for the trees. You really have three primary components each trying to squeeze the most amount of money out of the other and in turn out of consumers.

Apart from working crowds at rallies and throwing the occasional barb at Mr Tiny-Hands, the debate is literally the only thing she has to actively do in the next two months. And she's reportedly taking advantage of the situation and spending a bunch of time on debate prep.

The debate's gonna be a rough patch for the Arzy crowd though, because it's going to be a repeat of the Palin debate where the media will fellate him for not throwing a nazi salute and Heil Hitler'ing or calling Clinton a oval office to her face.

Assuming he can do that.

Lol look at the narrative pushing pre-writes that went out yesterday and tell me he isn't going to "win" the debate even if he does toss a Hitler salute

poo poo Ingram tossed one to a giant picture of Trump and nobody seemed to take notice is the press, at least not off Twitter

I don't think he'll "win" the debates. I think he'll get "credit" for showing up and not vomiting everywhere. Those are subtly different things, but as Ana Navaro put it on CNN this morning: people, particularly Hispanics and other minorities, aren't going to simply forget all the crap he's said overnight.

Also no-one gives a poo poo what David Brooks thinks.

The Average person has, largely made up their minds by now and early voting kicks off in about three weeks. Trump is going to get slayed in early voting. He has literally no ground game, and no amount of just not tripping over his feet is going to somehow, magically change the state of the race. His hope, in the debates, is for Hillary to have some kind of complete meltdown. This isn't a contest between, say Bush and Kerry, where Bush actually finished off Kerry with "you forgot Poland," because Trump isn't capable of that.

Is Trump really set to lose big in early voting? Isn't early voting dominated by old people?

Democrats dominate early voting (it requires mobilization.) It was a big part of Obama's voter turnout operation. Hillary's campaign is basically just copying that. They have a whole operation focused on it.

How exactly did Clinton "trick" them. This seems like a GOPe vet trying to damage control/lose more softly due to the Trumpster Fire.

Also Clinton's going to release an Oppo Research bomb the week of the debate, the day before, and the day of to win the debates.

It's getting people to spend a bunch of time and money in states where they're going to win, but you headfake them into thinking they're not.

But seriously, PHC played a critical role in both the radio show revival and bringing folk music to new generations while also managing to promote an alright set of values.

Far better than we can say for most shows.

As someone from a community and state that embraces our actual folk music culture, PHC sucks.

This is how Hillary is campaigning as well, and not only does she take money from wealthy donors but she takes money from regimes with values opposite of the average American.

The argument that she is progressive is hardly believable as well, considering she married a guy who had the values enough to enable the housing bubble and signed NAFTA. It's much further than that too the idea that she believes in any accountability is laughable. She ran a private server deleted emails then lied and said she only deleted personal ones not related to work, which has been proven to be false. Also she attempted to blame Colin Powell for setting the precedent of running a private server, when she already had it up and running, then went ask Powell about the legality of it.

The woman has no moral compass. And she more egregiously takes money from the highest bidder than Trump. All campaigns have private closed door meetings with wealthy donors the difference Trump isn't taking money from the Saudis and George Soros... at least at the moment.

This is bush league bullshit, but please continue. Here let me debunk your bullshit:

This is even dumber that previous one for a variety of reasons, though not a complete lie. Just bad logic and thinking.

Your timeline is woefully wrong. The server was setup, originally for the campaign. She talked to several former SoS all of which mentioned running their own email address because State's IT department in 2008 was in the loving dark ages. She said they deleted personal emails to the extent they could determine. Which, even the FBI director said was fine and that there was no evidence that they had attempted to hide anything. Most of the emails they found that weren't turned over were only able to be found by going through them line by loving line for six months with a huge staff, and none of them were particularly not worth. She's also said that was the wrong decision and has been pretty darned compliant with this entire, bullshit investigation that is at least partially rooted in State vs FBI rules on classification.

We rate this statement as, Mostly False.

So, taking money from George Soros means you have no "moral compass?" Well I guess no Democrat for like four cycles has that.

But I guess it's okay for Trump's campaign to take plenty of dark money vile, right-wing billionaires who want to destroy the welfare state.

Also she hasn't taken any money from Saudis, that would be illegal.

This is again, just bullshit.

Because of the fiction of objectivity. They confuse objectivity with BOTH SIDES HAVE EQUAL VALUE AND MERIT.
