@delboyg01 oh and PS. The dems have gotten more things,,, done, as you say,, that the house Republicans and senate got done in trumps first two years. Taxes. They re alway a givin,, in a republican term. And the judge crap,,, same thing. McConnell has been after that since he got into the senate. The only republican president that has raised taxes was the first Bush. So if you're gonna use those as Drumpf accomplishments,,, Sorry. As for the wall,,,, we're still waiting for Mexico to write that check donny. And as for NK,,,,, little Kim is laughing all the way to the white house.

David if you weren't so stuck on Sanders, I'd be more apt to more agree with you on things. Bernie constantly pushes the socialist platform and I'm sorry but that's gonna put him down in debates and the election against druump. And your downing all the time the MSM. Where the hell are you gonna get all your information without them? You, the turks, all y'all rely on the MSM for ur feeds. I don't get it. It's going to be Biden in 2020. Get used to it. Even with the crap the others try to pin on him, he's showing the strongest polling numbers of peeps who agree he s the one to beat Drumpf. Sure,, he's not perfect. But the hard left push, probably won't win with the voting majority,,, and that's what we need. At least this time around. Put Bernie in a job, if we win in 2020,, that he can be effective in. Same with some of the others. Biden probably won't run in 20 24,,, cause of his age. Then maybe one of the others can run,,, after tested in more in house positions. That's all I'm saying.

@delboyg01 It's not giving up or settling. And yep, you're right, it is a long time till 2020 election. Also,, anything can happen. We all know that. That's why I said. The dem candidates need to get ideas for how they individually, would put out for,, their,,, policies. Then put the ideas out there for the public,, dem and repube alike to read. You're right too about the fact that people don't really know the newbies plans or ideas. Because the debates are too,,, tied to exact questions,, which not everyone is interested in. Trump did not inherent a crap economy or anything. But he's taking credit for what took 8 years for Obama to fix, after another wonderful republican numbnuts president did to screw everything up. Difference with Drumpf, is he can't stop taking credit. All the while getting us in league with dictators and allowing them to see everything we have. Including private tours of the white house. I agree with having talks,,, but you have to be smart about it,,and he's not. As long as they praise him,, they're in the link. Anyway,, it's true the dems may not be doing everything right,,, but we all hope they come together on the sure way to make Trump a one term lump. I'm sure he's gotten plenty of ruthless new friends to help keep him in business. If,, he stays outta jail.

@delboyg01 Well I'd say you had time to write,,, a bit,,,? 😊. I totally understand that both parties cater to the corporate world. But ya gotta admit, the corporate world does have a great deal to do with,,, the world. Money does make the world go round, whether we like it or not. So we have to work with big business one way or another. The days of mom and pop only,, biz, is no more. Even small businesses rely on multi million dollar business, to exist. The so called, progressive,, candidates are a bit foolish, to think they can just push their way in and take over. That's kinda what I see they're doing. Sure, it's refreshing to see them standing up to heads of companies and even other members of the party. But they have to expect some push back, if overzealousness, doesn't work. Kinda like when any people's push back against their own gov. It may make the gov think,, but more than likely big sudden change ain't happening. We do need new blood,,, no question. And I don't put them down for trying. After all, they are supposed to be our voices. For sure we need more equal pay, definitely health care etc. That should be priority. I'm not against anything u said. But as a good vacuum cleaner said,,, you have to get your foot in the door. Then be smart and work with the customer to ensure they understand u and u understand them. 👍

@delboyg01 Hey, I'm not against adjusting things. I'm the first to agree big biz needs to be have rules to give the worker better pay, and benefits. But as with everything else, they'll just pass costs on to the consumers. Why do you think every tool etc made here, costs twice as much as almost the exact same thing from Japan or China cost. As for Germany, great Britain other European countries, is that why a BMW or jag costs 10 to 20 grand more? I don't know. As for the newbies ideals being communist,, I don't think that. Bottom line is, change will be incremental. Not immediate. It just won't. Not from what I've seen. You're right about representatives being our voices,, thats what I said. But honestly, only another revolution will do things quick. This has been going on for years. And not just here,, throughout history. It took years for the US to get this greedy. It's probably gonna take A while to make changes back. The dems need to prove to a bunch of people maybe even trumpers that they have the true plan, and lay it out, in a debate type atmosphere. Prove the boasting will work. If I had the perfect well,.way,, I'd be running for a office like myself. Let's beat Trump first.

@delboyg01 I'm not disagreeing with all of your comments. But I still have the belief that there has to be a compromise as to change back towards better wages, med benefits, etc. Not that it doesn't have to happen,, totally agree there. But business has the upper hand. They are the employers. Therefore they can do things for the better or not for regular employees. It is a two way street, but when you see how they always have the ability to hire whom they want. That's why immigration is so controversial too. Big biz could push for open borders, let's just say. Then hire all the help they need for way less pay because immigrants are hungry for anything,, pay way more flexible. I'm getting into a crazy jumble of reasons, but I just think the threats or accusations the newer reps are pushing, won't work without compromise. That's maybe, what the older members understand? I don't know. I just don't think it's cowardly or wimpy behavior on the side of dems. Or greed. But I'm not up there so I kinda wanna give them some credit for knowing the ropes. Maybe I'm wrong. We'll see. If the newbies make some progress, great. They have my support. We obviously need change.

@delboyg01 Sorry but as true as it is that dems aren't the,,, beat down the door tea party of the left, some of the new members of the house are. But as close as they are to center is for a reason. We aren't privy enough to go watch all the interaction between senate and house goings on, so I'm not sure, " other than the progressive news interpreters", where you are getting your talking points and information, showing the dems folding to every issue. I don't sit on every commentary that David, and David Pacman and the turks make, because honestly, sometimes I wonder if they just wanna start trouble. Or make vids to bring in the bucks. They obviously don't listen to each others clips because I see the same story, same vid clips from the news centers, on each show. Same clip. So what we're getting is their opinion of the actual same 6 o'clock news. I'm not putting u down for ur beliefs,,, at all. But what do u think happens when AOC, or any of the newbies walk into the senate, wander around looking for McConnell? Sure it makes the news for 1 day, then the Republicans make fun of them behind closed doors and still nothing happens. As for Obama not getting much done for 8 years. I'm guessing you aren't remembering the shit mess he inherited? Plus the ass wipe Republicans shot down everything he even thought of, and he wasn't even allowed put in a Supreme Court Justice, with 11 months to go in his term. Ridiculous.

@delboyg01 I keep saying my bottom line is, I know the dems aren't perfect but for years people have tried a third party and it's never gotten anywhere. Because when you break down the third party person, they're just a mix of both ideals anyway. But neither sides ideals are best all the time. You have to have a balance of mindsets for a government or a business or any constitution to work. You cannot go too left or too right. The old saying, You can't please all the people, all the time,, is right on. That's why the founding fathers laid out government the way they did. That's why we don't have one person making all the decisions. That's why we have elections. The problem is,, our elections aren't perfect and fair. Probably most Republicans aren't with Trump. But because the leaders, McConnell, Graham, etc have like power over the Senate's votes, everything is at their whim. All the house and senate are, are a bunch of people we elect to speak on our behalf. But when only 50% of people ever vote, or less,,, how's that fair? We need to have left and right thinking in our government officials. We need middle of the road mindset, because no problem is always black or white. There is a gray area that has a right to be heard. Pelosi caved on the border bill to get something done and money to the problem. That's all. If she didn't,, the senate would have gone to break and there'd been nothing. She's no one's fool. She's a negotiator. And knows how to get something done when working with brick walls like Trump or McConnell. You call it caving, along with the other, " progressive s,". But if she didn't, nothing would ever happen. The crappy ugly part of the senate and even the house need to be voted out. But not to the tune of another lopsided one. We honestly do need a better middle of the road. That's all I'm trying to say.

We definitely need a better heath care plan. The problem is asking the candidates point blank questions that only allow 2 answers, is where the trouble is. Maybe Medicare isn't the best. Maybe there's a better way. Maybe a modified obamacare program. There is lots of time before the election. Make the candidates produce their own plan and spill it. Shouldn't be that hard.
