    Seriously?

    Warren's plan would eliminate undergraduate tuition and fees at public colleges and universities as well as erase student loan debt for 95% of borrowers. The tiered plan would cancel $50,000 in debt for every person with a household income under $100,000 and "substantial debt cancellation" for every person with household income between $100,000 and $250,000.


    “Do you believe a woman should be able to terminate a pregnancy up until the moment of birth?” Martha MacCallum asked Bernie Sanders at a Fox News town hall. “I think that that happens very, very rarely,” Sanders replied, before concluding: “The decision over abortion belongs to a woman and her physician, not the federal government, not the state government.”

    The vast majority of primary contenders wanted to decriminalize illegal border crossings, they wanted to provide free health insurance to illegal immigrants, they wanted to provide rapid and, apparently, unconditional pathways to citizenship.

    right. not free. Just like public elementary school isn't "free".

    right. no candidate is advocating partial birth abortion for viable babies. as I said.
    right. no candidate is advocating for open borders.

    Wow. Let’s do this one at a time.

    What do you think this means:

    Warren's plan would eliminate undergraduate tuition and fees at public colleges and universities

    Lol it’s free to the individual who is attending. Not to everyone else. Hence the problem.

    Now let’s do this one.

    When sanders says: The decision over abortion belongs to a woman and her physician, not the federal government, not the state government.

    In response to a question about abortion up until birth. Does he or does he not mean that if a woman decides she wants a partial birth abortion, the government should not be able to tell her she can’t?

    I don't know why you keep showing us that nobody is advocating for partial birth abortions of viable babies. but it's becoming amusing.

    How do you come to that conclusion from Sanders declaring the government should not be able to tell a woman she can’t have an abortion up until birth?

    He never says anything about viable or not. He simply says the woman should decide.

    So if a woman decides she wants a partial birth abortion of a viable baby, is sanders in favor of telling her she can’t?

    Sure he has. The question that was posed to him but no criterion for viable or not and Sanders made no qualifications for viable or non viable in his response.

    The ONLY response he gave was that the woman should decide.

    never, at any time, has he advocated for it. you keep proving this yourself.
    right. he, like every other candidate, is not advocating for partial birth abortion, or any of the other nonsense that was claimed.

    Perhaps because they're not involved in stage design - they leave that up to the hosts and just turn up and do their thing.

    After all, can you see flags in either of these 2016 and 2020 pics of ABC presidential debates?

    No.

    What's more I can't find a single 2016 GOP presidential debate stage with flags. Hence, "anti-American"?

    Let's talk white supremacy and the monument glorifying a white supremacist in deep blue Chicago:

    Slavery is not the only question which comes up in this controversy. There is a far more important one to you, and that is, what shall be done with the free negro?

    Get back to us when you can cite the Constitutional requirement that a flag must be present in order to have a political debate, m'kay?

    On free college
    Most Democrats have gotten behind the idea of some form of tuition-free or debt-free college, but they disagree about how much of the tab should be covered.

    Several candidates have called for making four years of public college free for students under a certain income threshold, while others would cover only community college or technical school.

    And then there are proposals that would offer more assistance to students so they don’t have to take on debt to cover tuition — or books and living expenses, in some cases.

    https://www.politico.com/2020-election/candidates-views-on-the-issues/education-reform/free-college/

    On open borders ,,, or more than open borders. They want to bring back murderers and rapists who were deported under current law.
    H.R.5383 - New Way Forward Act
    https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/5383

    Ralph Northam: So in this particular example, if a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered, the infant would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.

    I watched the original announcement. This is an excerpt almost exactly verbatim from the original. The genocidal maniac changed his tune after he got blowback.

    right. Just like public elementary school. Not free.

    Right. No candidate is advocating for open borders, not is any advocating for partial birth abortions of viable babies. We already established that.

    No we haven’t. Your insistence doesn’t make it true.

    I agree. But you’ve proven they are not, several times. You’ve made my argument for me.

    Now you're saying the don't WANT the flag? link?

    And one poster already pointed out, the entirety of the background was red, blue, and white. Representing the colors of the USA.

    Then you shouldn't post it.
    What is lazy is whining there's no flag on a stage.

    And all of our founding fathers knew it was wrong, but didn't know how to undo it. Democrats extended the inconvenient sub-humans to inconvenient live born babies. The people who rebirthed the racial divisiveness by tearing down RE Lee statues worship at the alter of a white supremacist Stephen Douglas and KKK Grand Cleagle Robert Byrd. RE Lee went with his beloved Virginia. He fought for VA, not slavery. BTW, the Senate Office Bldg is still named after racist Democrat Richard Russell.

    All the while, Democrats talk about how uncomfortable they feel walking the grounds of my alma mater, UVA, because TJ looks down on his University from his Monticello home.
