I wish I could say that anyone would beat Donny, but I know to never underestimate the power of stupidity and ignorance.

They comin for Biden. So much love and unity with these Dems. Have to give him credit; he was the only one that had anything to say that made sense, the rest of the gang said a whole lot about nothing or were in fantasy land. The Castro guy was especially dangerous. If you want to come across the border, just dont get caught, then stay and work illegally, then you get a path to citizenship. So a little dance around the open border, but we can all see thats what he wants. And the Cheng guy, 1000$ for every American? More Bernie loonie talk. Seems Trump is assured a win for 2020 with this bunch. Who votes for these people?

These people are just opportunist, typical career bureaucrats who have loyalty to nobody except themselves. Weng might be an exception; the rest, too easy to see what they are doing. . Why anybody would vote for this is beyond me. Its 2016 repeat, more unqualified incompetent loons against somebody who can get things done.

Yeah but in 2016 the unqualified incompetent loon won.

Last night's "debate" was remarkable. The democrat socialists on stage took turns hanging Obama’s record around Biden’s neck; in essence calling 44 a white supremacist. That was some extraordinary TV.

Who votes for these people?

Well, more US voters voted for a democrat than a republican last time out. So, the answer must be a pretty diverse bunch.

the Cheng guy

Do you mean Yang? The idea of UBI is an interesting one. Good to see a different approach. It makes people think. Do you think he should have cracked a knob joke and made up stupid and childish nicknames for the other candidates?

Donny sure is getting thing done; just look at the Iran deal, the healthcare deal, bringing our troops home, reining in the national debt, dealing with the DPRK, sorting out the various trade deals . . .

Some people have a very strange definition of "getting things done."

And those Dems wanting open borders. All immigrants should leave the US and go back home to make their own countries better. Am I correct, Tex?

2 ( +3 / -1 )

The tired blaming Trump for everything that is wrong, people are hurting, working 3 jobs and other lies will just set these people up for failure when they debate Trump. None of them with the exception of Wang have a record of getting anything done. The health care solutions they offer are just opportunist talk, as was evident with Harris. She is out, Im guessing only Biden and the New Jesery guy, the New York governor and Hispanic lady veteran, will move on. All of them dont stand a chance against Trump.

All I saw tonight was stupidity and ignorance. No plans and almost every talking point was just baiting the viewers. How about those moderators? Don't even get me started with that. Shameful.

We should never discount the possibility that in 2020 the Dems may merely have to dispose of the blonde tailor's dummy since the "stable genius" will likely have self-imploded in the meantime, and the orange cancer on the presidency excised by the 25th, impeachment, or conveniently let go owing to "failing health" due to overconsumption of cheeseberders and KFC?

I do have to say that although I didn't watch the debates, they were very clearly a resounding success, as evidenced by the rage from the right in this thread! Love it :)

Yet another racist post directed at a poster who is a person of color. Hopefully, this site's Moderators will do their job and give him/her/it another one day cooling off period.

Chip never mentioned race, therefore he can't be racist. In fact, by making his comment about race, you have played The Race Card which proves that you are in fact The Real Racist. And a person of color calling Chip a racist just because he's white is just the clearest illustration of True Racism.

How's that, Trumpets, am I doing it right?

President Trump won last tonight’s democrat socialist debate, too. He is now 4-0

The "popstars" of the Democrats have no chance in beating Trump in 2020, its the same old Socialism, Open Borders etc, and any Democrat contender that has any common sense policies gets shouted down.

Carlson Tucker pointed that out

You may be right, and even for those reasons, but not because those things actually exist, but because so many Americans are stupid enough to believe they do.

Well guess that settles that.

Biden called criticism of his plan "a bunch of malarkey."

It was definitely amazing that Biden is now being blamed for Obama/Biden.

How is it that virtually all other countries manage to hold their national elections in a month's time at public expense, when in the US everything has to be dumbed down, prolonged, commoditized and packaged as entertainment?

That question more or less answers itself.

U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard questioned Harris' criminal justice record when she served as attorney general in California.

"She put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations then laughed about it when asked if she ever smoked marijuana," Gabbard said.

Harris kept referring to Gabbard's points as a "fancy speech" and a "fancy opinion." it means she got crushed and literally had no other reply.

I take back my earlier comment about hoping either Harris or Marianne Williamson wins the Dem nomination.

Although I'm sure the debates would be glorious and Trump would trounce Harris, I would like the American people to have another sane choice other than Trump in the general election. I hope Tulsi gets the nomination.

I wish I could say that anyone would beat Donny, but I know to never underestimate the power of stupidity and ignorance.

Yeah, never underestimate the power of stupidity and ignorance. Look who we got in Congress - AOC, Omar Ilhan, the other two members of The Squad, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Cory Booker, and oh, let's not forget Kamala Harris, lol...

I’m sceptical of all politicians, including this lot, but looking at candidate debates on both sides over the years, I can see why the Democratic candidate has won the popular vote in 6 of the 7 last elections.

Every single person on this list is easily twice as smart and competent as Donny. HAR!

I, for one, can't wait to get my 1K a month for doing absolutely nothing even though I can work and thanks to Trump's economic policies there are plenty of jobs available. LOL

Otherwise, except for Tulsi, John Delaney and Tim Ryan, he's the best of the sorry bunch.

As bad and as painful as it was watching these people, the person that stood out and was a clear winner was Gabbard and Booker, everyone else was just more regurgitated more of the socialism isn’t that bad when putting it in proper feel good terms. Biden just couldn’t pull it off and Harris was just more boring than watching a Cricket game. I think Young was the smartest, but Universal income...come on...lol.

All we need it the nervous "lols" from bass4funk and it's chicken little with the sky falling.

It’s strange that you would say that, laughing at something funny and believe me, there was a lot to laugh and shake your head at doesn’t mean anything close to being nervous, it just means, it’s funny.

Democratic debates: policy, taking care of the people, inclusiveness.

Republican debates: how to destroy health care, which rights should be limited, and exclusion.

Yep, there certainly are a bunch of nutcases in California. Look who they voted in for Congress - Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell...

Bwa hahahaha! You made me spit my coffee out with that one, lincolnman!

The only one with any chance at all of beating Trump is Tulsi, and most likely she won't get the nomination.

Still can't give up that Russian collusion dream, eh, lincolnman? Good grief...

Well, whomever is the Democratic candidate, would have to have a solution to get back all the lost markets that Trump lost for American farmers due to his so-called trade war. The American farming industry is starting to go the way of the coal mining business and will soon disappear. American farmers will join the growing list of people on welfare and food stamps, as countries like China have decided to import crops like soybeans and wheat from cheaper countries like Brazil and Russia. Contrary to what Trump would like people to believe, losses in the exports of crops from the U.S. will eventually negatively affect the American economy.

Yes, I am very scared that whatever is wrong with these people on my TV screen is contagious and that I will get it just by watching. I havent felt good all day since I watched that.

Now if they could put it into reality without robbing people that might be something worth paying a bit of attention to.

Democratic debates: policy, taking care of the people

And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen - "taking care of the people." The Democrats want everyone to be dependent on them and decide what kind of health care you get. Most Americans prefer to have the opportunity to take care of themselves and decide for themselves what kind of health care they want.

Republican debates: how to destroy health care

Repeal the failed Obamacare, yes. It would have been repealed if McCain, who was against Obamacare, voted to keep it out of spite in his hatred of Trump. The Republicans need to win back the House to get their health care plan passed.

THAT is the best the dems have to offer?? I actually watched the whole thing - very entertaining, tho even I was cringing for the Dems much too often.

Looks like Obama is now under indirect attack by the dems. Harris isnt gonna make it - Tulsi eviscerated her pretty easily and Kamarla had no answer. Lots of ganging up on sleepy joe and he was dodging like crazy.

The rest are a hollow bunch of hypocrites playing for the cameras.

Tulsi is the most real ( not difficult to be in that bunch!)

oh dear, I guess now Smiths gonna say Im “nervous”!

The American farming industry is starting to go the way of the coal mining business and will soon disappear. 

You must be unaware that the coal mining business is making a comeback. The American farming industry is not going to disappear, that I can tell you. There will be bumps, yes. Far better than capitulating to China.

Yes, I am very scared that whatever is wrong with these people on my TV screen is contagious and that I will get it just by watching. I havent felt good all day since I watched that.

Didn't you watch Marianne? How could you not feel good after watching her? Didn't you feel the love?!

Serrano: You're scared, too.

Har! I've got a good supply of popcorn!

It is an outright inaccuracy that the Dems want to determine what kind of health care people receive.

Not according to Sanders and Harris. Young understands it, he’s just wrong on universal healthcare.

It is painfully obvious that the Dems simply want everyone to have access to health care.

Yeah, that’s what THEY want, but leave the almost 90% of Americans that are fine with theirs. No need to mess with my healthcare and the millions that are happy with their healthcare.

Nothing like reading Trumpophiles constantly putting forth obviously bad faith arguments.

No, it’s just that when confront liberals with that pie in the sky, they never know what to say, especially when you ask them, who will pay for it and will you raise my taxes? That would be bad faith.

First thing I’m going to do when I’m president is Clorox the Oval Office says one of them.

this is the lady who is involved with a sex cult and has public pics with both Harvey Weinstein and Bill Clinton. Sure.

Plus Clorox causes global warming.

We all know that taking photos with people means you are exactly like that person and endorse their actions 100%.

How many photos are there of Donny and the pefophile Epstein? How about Domny and known racists?

The best received line of the night was Booker’s Kool-aid line. Which is guess was supposed to be hip and edgy.

Not a clue what it was supposed to mean in the context of that conversation.

How about Domny and known racists?

Trump and Epstein pic supposedly means they are lifelong buds and soulmates.

Its why Trump won in 2016 and will easily win again in 2020. Have to admit, Im ashamed of this lot also, except Wang. Biden is just an old school politician, racist when it suites him, BS'r when it suites as well

Obama helped spawn some of these creatures, or at least the climate. Interestingly, they turn on him also.
