    Democratic debate

    I am going to watch it tonight. Want to see who among the candidates can offer new refreshing ideas to solve the problems we currently have. Looking forward to what they have to say. I am sure they will get some hardball direct questions from the moderators like Rachael Maddow who will undoubtedly be objective and professional with her questions. Ought to be very enlightening as to where we are as a country.

    I do not plan to watch.

    They , as usual , pre picked the winner of the " debate " . Every other question was aimed at Warren. Guess they wanted to give her plenty of time to get her ideas out. Also, although I did not watch the whole thing, I did note , in the portions I did watch, that very few answers were about the question that was asked.

    I did not listen but I did see this in the morning papers---and you were far from being alone in your judgement.

    Looking at some of the polls ranking performance and at Dave’s recounts of minutes spoken, it appears roughly that the more they talked the less they ranked. I can understand why.

    New field. My prediction: Andrew Yang will be the new star & Kirstin Gillibrand the new goat, because Yang is sharp and Gillibrand isn’t.

    "spake"?

    I must have missed out, I never did that ... at least not in public on TV...

    Actually thought it was pretty good I came away with a few thoughts first I came away with the idea that we would probably not have Private health care anymore also came away with the thought that taxes would probably go up and I also came away with the thought that highly paid individuals will pay a much larger portion of their earnings to the federal government. I also came away with the clear understanding that all the candidates will appoint judges that passed certain litmus test for their particular issues. So all that said I think that it is pretty clear for anyone with half a mind to choose which way they're going to go. You can vote against Trump because you hate him and vote for the Democrat because you hate Trump or you can vote for Trump because you hate the Democrat or you can just take all your damn money out of the stock market and move to Antigua.
