    Perhaps 11% of Nevada Democrats made a large investment in time to caucus. Who do you suppose these people were? Run of the mill Democrats? Activists? Once you have that nailed, you might want to ask whether the entire Nevada Democrat party will vote for a socialist.

    Don't answer yet. Check out AOC in the NY 14. In the 2018 primary, 11.8% of the Democrats in that district showed up and 60% voted for socialist AOC. See what her polling is today.

    With CA coming up early to skew the Dem Primary, Bernie may well be in position to win on the first ballot. Look out.

    Bloomberg is as out of step with conditions on the ground as Clinton was in 2016. I’d add Biden and Klobuchar to that list. They’re hurting the nomination process at this point more than helping in their current roles.

    Our poster is probably still reeeeeeeeling in shock from the fact that his ideological allies -- the political Left -- massively botched the impeachment farce against Trump . . . just as clear thinking conservatives said that they would.

    Well if Sanders suddenly shoots himself twice in the back of the head we will know what happened. Quick! Frisk her for Sander's suicide note!

    You think Trump was elected because he promised a free wall paid by Mexico. Incorrect.

    Trump was supported because he decided to put America first for once in a long while.

    Apologies are not necessary for the source of funds. Mexico is paying for the wall or will be with decreased remittances.
    In 2015, Mexicans in the US sent $25.2B back to family members. Add El Salvador and Honduras, and there's alot of money flowing out of the US.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remittances_from_the_United_States

    The velocity of money was around 1.43 in 2018
    https://www.thebalance.com/velocity-of-money-3306130

    Which is the amount of economic activity every dollar creates. So, all things being constant, that $25.2B costs us $25.2 * 1.43 = $36B in economic activity.

    I remember a Trump speech where he touched on the fact that Mexico was not going to write us a check ,,,

    Also, if you've been paying attention, illegal aliens are costing us a fortune that Mexico would otherwise be paying to care for their own people.

    The take away with Trump is that when he makes a commitment, he doesn't let little obstacles stand in the way. When Pelosi road blocked funding for the wall he got Mexico to create a figurative wall. He's been waging a 3 year war against the judiciary that Obama and Reid completely destroyed ,,, and he is making headway. For one thing, the 9th is no longer a circus.

    You are absolutely correct. Trump is going to get trounced. He will be lucky to pick up 75 electoral votes. I guarantee it.

    Oh, yes, and the young, idealistic Sanders followers are being duped. It is as if they think the end game is to become the Democratic candidate. Unfortunately, that result will cause another four years of Trump. They can't think that far ahead, and Sanders isn't being honest with them.

    Even more people believed they'd save $2500 on their health insurance even though the math, which is impossible, was pointed out to them a zillion times.

    The New York Post reports, "President Trump on Sunday accused Rep. Adam Schiff of leaking intelligence that Russia is trying to interfere in the 2020 presidential election to help Bernie Sanders.

    “They ought to investigate Adam Schiff for leaking that intelligence,” the president told reporters, adding that he hadn’t been briefed on any Russian meddling on Sanders’ behalf." :roflol:

    In other words, Trump didn't want the American people to know about the threat posed by Russia to our Presidential election.

    In other words, Trump is placing the blame on Schiff for Russia's threat to our Presidential election.

    Trump is an embarrassment to our entire country. The American people know more about what is going on than Trump.

    Sanders highest figure is 29. That means 71% of Democrats do not want Sanders to be the nominee.

    There are too many moderates in the race still.

    Bloomberg got annihilated in the debate in Nevada.

    I don't think he can recover, and I don't think he will become the nominee.

    And if somehow he does become the nominee, there is zero chance Bernie's supporters will vote for him. A few, maybe, but most won't. And with that faction not voting for Bloomberg in the general election, Trump wins.

    Would that be the same clear thinking conservatives who are screaming along towards $24 TRILLION national debt. That would be over one trillion per year since Dirty Donald took over.

    The rate which the government is spending more than they take in is disappointing, if not alarming. but Trump is responsible for $3 Trillion of that $24 Trillion debt, That's $1 Trillion per year, as you noted. Obama ran $18.6 Trillion of that debt, averaging over $2.33 Trillion per year.

    Thanks for the reminder.

    The numbers in the chart for Clinton, Bush and Obama are actual additions to the debt. The Trump numbers are projections for the 4th year of this first term ($3.7T) and projected numbers for all four years of a second term ($8.5 T).

    Republican voters should scream and shout for budget cuts if Trump manages to take back the House, which controls the purse strings.

    Meanwhile if Sanders, the frontrunner, gets elected he's not cutting anything and his healthcare alone will add $3 Trillion per year.

    Yes, there could be a repeat of 2016 where the young followers of Sanders wanted to get back at the DNC and voted for Trump. Because they did this in MI, WI, and PA, Trump won the election. https://www.newsweek.com/bernie-sanders-trump-2016-election-654320

    Because he inherited the Great Recession from the previous Republican administration, the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression of the '30's.

    You misunderstsnd them. As it happens they aren't nearly as anti Trump as they are anti Dem establishment. If It's Dem establishment vs Trump they'd just as soon have Trump where the care at all.

    Trump wants to be briefed on the top before Shifty leaks the information to the press. That doesn't mean he doesn't want it to be shared at some point. Shifty's leaking is potentially criminal...and clearly it was done to undermine the Sander's campaign. Shifty already destroyed the Biden campaign, and his legacy...now he is after Sanders? Are we sure Shifty isn't actually doing the Russian bedding here? Time for a full investigation of Shifty

    You can't buy a personality. Bloomberg is all hat and no cattle. Crazy Bernie will be your nominee and will become the modern day Mondale.
