    Not only do the Democrats want to confiscate your guns, but they also want to confiscate your health insurance, access to affordable fossil fuel energy, and your paycheck. Obviously they should be entitled to do so because who better to run your life than a Democratic politician?

    This is why the Democrats have to falsely accuse the other side of being Russian agents and white supremacists... because the Democrats' policy positions are deeply unpopular.

    GOOD DAY

    Eric Holder has a message for the Democrats, certainly including the candidates running for president. Democrats "have to understand' that 'borders mean something'.

    Eric Holder: Democrats 'have to understand' that 'borders mean something'

    "The emphasis there was on people who had criminal records, people who posed a danger, a public safety risk," Holder, who served under former President Obama, said of the previous administration's policy in a CNN interview released Saturday. "Democrats have to understand that ... borders mean something," he added.

    Holder expressed disagreement with a proposal embraced by some Democratic presidential candidates to make illegally entering the U.S. a civil offense rather than a criminal offense. "No, I don't think that's right," he said. "The law that is on the books has been there for about 100 years or so."

    "It might send the wrong signal. But it would certainly take a tool away from the Justice Department that it might to use," Holder added.​

    Sorry if this bump is in bad taste. But I back read the last couple of pages and didn’t see Yang mentioned .

    I’m just trying to get this guy into the mainstream haha

    I’m a huge fan of his policies . I think they exude so much common sense that most people will like reading about them.

    He hasn’t gotten much time during the debates and his giveaway is getting mixed feelings . I’m not sure how I feel about it yet, I hope he doesn’t do it again . At what point are you buying votes , even if it’s only like 30 people ? But at the same time I know he did to generate attention . I think he’s a good strategist so I guess we will see what happens .

    But seriously , watching some of his interviews galvanized me to come here and post this to try and spread the word .

    People may have already developed strong feelings about some of the candidates that have been around for a while , but it’s worth 10 min of your time to check out what he is about.

    Then again , I was under the influence when I began my Andrew Yang binge ... so my judgment may not be perfect.

    Also I can’t tell if this post is: bad , pathetic , witty , hillarious , sad , or just strange .

    What’s up CF ?

    Ted Cruz says that Donald Trump has broken the Democrat party.

    Cruz also stated that the Democrat candidates policy proposals are "designed to resonate in the faculty lounges at an Ivy League college" and then challenged the Democrats to find one working American who supports their agenda.

    It will be interesting to see if they can find one. Go get'em Ted!

    Ted Cruz: 'Donald Trump has broken the Democratic Party'

    "If you look at Thursday night, the entire night of the debate, not a single Democrat talked about jobs, not a single Democrat talked about the economy, about the fact that we've got the lowest African American unemployment ever recorded, the lowest Hispanic unemployment ever recorded," Cruz said.

    "Instead what the Democrats told the American people is they want to raise your taxes, they want to triple the price you pay for a gallon of gas at the pump, they want open borders, they want to take away your health insurance and they want to take away your guns," the Texas senator continued.

    Cruz asserted the Democratic candidates' policy proposals are "designed to resonate in the faculty lounges at an Ivy League college" and challenged Stephanopoulos to find one working American who supports their agenda.

    "I think Donald Trump has broken the Democratic party," Cruz said. "They are defined now just by hating him. They ought to be the party of jobs. They used to be a party focused on jobs, they're not anymore."​

    Is this the Cruz "move" we've been waiting for?

    1. Let man insult your wife.
    2. Lose badly to nincompoop man in primary.
    3. Grovel to said disgusting man.
    4. Grow weak beard and continue to annoy all colleagues.
    --> 5. Tell world the incompetent man who punked you has "broken" other people. <--
    6. ???
    7. Success!

    Whatever.

    Ok, you guys were right -- the Yang Gang is annoying! Snowcone, read a little more, we are talking about him. He even has his own thread that is one of the longer presidential candidate threads.

    C'mon. His beard is actually pretty good. Do you remember how ugly his face was before he grew that beard?

    The Sexy Photos of Ted Cruz thread was much more active before the beard. You can't deny. His is an opportunistic beard, that of a follower, not a pioneer.

    File this in the 'heavily supported rumor' category: Hillary Clinton is will jump into the 2020 race with Andrew Gillum as her running mate. She will only jump in if and when Joe Biden pulls out. I learned this information today from a trusted source. Concerns within the donor class of the party are growing with Biden's physical and mental fitness and his ability to endure the brutal, nasty campaign that will surely follow.

    GOOD DAY

    If Biden pulls out, there will be a huge gaping hole in the establishment lane of this primary contest, just begging for an established, high profile, well known, experienced establishment to fill it. Hillary would certainly be on the short list of those who are qualified to fill that spot.

    He might be right.

    After all, Obama broke the Republican party.

    Basically, it's like this:
    1. Biden is old and of failing health and mental faculties.
    2. Elizabeth Warren will have problems raising money (Wall Street hates her), among other problems. She's also 70 y/o -- not exactly a young squaw anymore. Her history of dishonesty about her Indian heritage and using that for professional advancement is disqualifying and will be relentlessly pilloried by the GOP.
    3. Bernie Sanders is not electable due to his embracing of socialist policies and values, as well as his age.
    4. Kamala Harris was originally the chosen one, but has flopped on the big stage and sounds way too rehearsed.
    5. Beto has completely flopped and at this point is an SNL punchline.

    No one else is really a candidate, some may be more VP candidates (Booker, Castro). If Klobuchar had an ounce of charisma she'd be a contender, but she's stale and has anger management problems. The DNC badly needs Hillary, and they will come around when confronted with the prospects of 4 more years of Trump.

    GOOD DAY

    lol. donald trump broke ted cruz...actually, thats too mild a way to put it...he made cruz his lapdog-poodle-b*tch.

    ted cruz - 5/3/16
    "This man is a pathological liar, he doesn't know the difference between truth and lies ... in a pattern that is straight out of a psychology text book, he accuses everyone of lying,"
    "Whatever lie he's telling, at that minute he believes it ... the man is utterly amoral," Cruz told reporters. "Donald is a bully ... bullies don't come from strength they come from weakness."
    "He is proud of being a serial philanderer ... he describes his own battles with venereal diseases as his own personal Vietnam,"

    after trump called cruzs wife ugly on twitter teddy called trump a "sniveling coward"

    trump also accused cruzs father of being involved in the jfk assassination.

    and this is "tough as texas" ted in oct 2016...
    [​IMG]

    look what trump did to the "party of reagan"...

    trump turned the free-market capitalist party, ted and you into full-blown socialists who support tariffs, subsidies and protectionist trade policies...the same kind of policies that bernie sanders advocates for.

    trump turned the pro-military party, ted and you into the party that thinks POWs are not heroic b/c they were captured.

    trump turned the social conservative party, ted and you into the party that believes "family values" means cheating on all your wives and bragging about it.

    trump turned the anti-communist/anti-russia party, ted and you into full-blown russia lovers. you guys actually put putin over your own country.

    trump pushes our debt and defecit to unprecedented levels and you so-called fiscal conservatives LOVE IT.

    but yes, lets focus on how the democrats are "broken"...lol.,

    Please, at some point prior to the election, placate your audience with a callback to your most beloved hit. It's like going to a Cowboy Mouth concert and having to sit through a bunch of filler before you get to "Jenny Says".

    Give the people what they want:
