Democrat presidential debate official thread

The sanctuary resolutions in Virginia were created to gin up political outrage.

They are meaningless as far as the law goes but the residents don't really understand that.

People like Douglas told them the elected Democrats were coming to take their guns.

Picking Klobuchar as the running mate (assuming she is not the nominee) would guarantee Dem's victory in Minnesota. (That will probably flip WI as well.)

Parts of Virginia are setting up sanctuary areas for gun people.

So if you have a criminal record and want to buy guns to hurt people, look to buy in those places.

This is not as wrong as what Douglas stated, but it is also very misleading.

There have been no changes to Virginia gun laws.

I will note that under federal standards, Douglas is barred from gun ownership. I think it is a good idea that he (and everybody) have to go through a background check for ever single gun purchase or attempted gun purchase. We need to close loopholes.

I think you are right, my mental illness probably does not allow me to have a gun, but no big deal I prefer to fight my battles with my fist's anyway, I had a 163-19 Amateur Boxing Record and Wrestled at Oklahoma State and Cal State Bakersfield and I ran a Sub 3 Hour Marathon at age 15 in New York starting at 4:23 in the first Orange Bowl Marathon and I did this in spite of going to Mental Hospitals 19 times for 3-6 months at a time and jail 1 time and got kicked out of 9 schools, I would like to join the military though to fly the planes, but they don't let me join, When WW3 was trending on Twitter last week I was hoping enough people would get killed that they would have no choice, but to let me join, oh well.

How about Biden picks Jeb Bush to run with to help get Florida and appease Republicans as a unity ticket, like Lincoln did?

Way back in June this is how I scored the first two part debate.

I advanced 10 candidates with 8 getting a Q and 2 getting a q.

The small q's are out, the ones I had out right away are pretty much out and were not in last night's debate.

Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Julian Castro are the three big Q's that have dropped.

Tom Steyer was there last night but didn't make the original top 20.

And Michael Bloomberg has jumped in but didn't qualify for the debates because he isn't accepting donations.

So the two additions are billionaires who bought their way in.

Andrew Yang made it further than I thought and is still in the race with a feint pulse as is Michael Bennett.

Dems are freezing out Yang.

On purpose.

Seems like they should have learned from their 2016 debacle in ensuring a Clinton win.

Many Dems are good people. The Dem party is an evil institution (though not as evil as the GOP).

I admit that I am unlikely to support Joe Biden, but that would put the nail in the coffin. No to more neocons

I don't think you could pass an FAA physical for a private pilot license, much less the military physical.

Actually I do have My Gun Rights, I went to jail for 1 year, but the Judge ruled my crime is in the 0-6 Months Category, but they needed time to get me To a Mental Hospital (But they NEVER got me to a Mental Hospital, they messed up on making the transportation arrangements, My Parents put me in the Mental Hospital Every other Time, so it counts as voluntary and My Crime did not EXCEED 1 Year, I was EXACTLY 1 year in jail and my sentence was 0-6 Months so either way, I have my Gun Rights, again I would prefer to just fight anyway, I am not in shape, so only if I am attacked or if I get back in shape maybe do the boxing again, but at age 56 I probably wont be able to get a license, so other than being attacked Fighting is EXTREMELY UNLIKELY.

I do want no guns though and that goes for EVERYBODY, ESPECIALLY CRIMINALS as believe it or not some criminals are EVEN WORSE THAN ME, And Cops should not have Guns either. Iceland and 7 other Countries do not let cops have guns and ALL 8 of them have less crime than we (The USA ) does.

1. I would Prefer cops not have Guns and have as little crime as Ice land.

2. Rather than let cops have Guns and have as much crime as Baltimore

3. I use Iceland and Baltimore because they have about the same population, even though Iceland is a Country and Baltimore is a Country.

4. This proves Cops not having guns greatly reduces crime.

AND I can be President if I decide to ever run if the People Vote for me in numbers enough to win the Electoral College, I Meet ALL The Qualifications.

1. Age 35 or over. I am 56

2. Born in the USA. Born in Long Beach New York USA

3. Have lived in the USA for 14 Years, Lived in the USA ALL MY LIFE, I have visited a few Foreign Countries, but even if you combined all of that travel outside the USA, it would be less than 1 year, so AT LEAST 55 of my 56 Years in the USA.

I love my country so much, that in spite of my flawed past, I am allowed to be President (If the people want me to be). Who knows what the future holds? If Trump can do it so can I.

Good for you. I thought on one of your previous posts you indicated that you had been involuntarily committed.

I would probably vote for you over Trump, so I wish you well if you decide to go for electoral office.

I understand your thought process. If Senator Klobuchar some how manages to finish in top three in Iowa, there is some logic with Klobuchar as V.P. If Klobuchar's Midwest folksy charm also would give Democrats an opportunity to win Indiana, maybe? Klobuchar and Senator Sanders would not get along too well. Biden feels like a 2020 loser. The best ticket: Senator Sanders and Stacey Abrams.

The real winner of last night’s socialist debate was Donald J Trump!!!

What a bunch of clowns!

Please tell us you make greater than $600,000 per year &/or you live on a 3000 acre estate. Tell us how you made your money. Tell us you it was inherited, then tell us what your daddy or granddad did to earn so much money. If that is not how you live, maybe you can be a Bernie Bro.

Just have to lose the weight, I have been doing 10 sets of 30 pushups, then 10 x 50 squats, then 10 x 50 Jumping jacks the last 3 weeks and my weight has dropped from 257 to 212 in 3 Months, mostly just stop drinking Macho Soda's at Del Taco, and large cookies and cream milk shakes everyday from Baskin robins, I have not run since I hurt my foot and had surgery in 2004, I will start walking when I get to 190 and then running when I get to 170, I did walk 12 Miles right before Christmas, but was sore for over a week, walking with a limp just from soreness not injury, I ran 15:17 for 5000 and 32:11 for 10000 at my best and still under 34 in my last race in 2003, right before my 40th birthday, so I don't know if I will be able to run even after I lose the Weight, But I want to be a COMMERCIAL Pilot or a FIGHTER PILOT, not a private pilot license, Don't really want people to die in war, just frustrated, I am going to keep taking my Mediciine as prescribed by the Psychiatrist and keep going to the psychologist as i have been doing since age 3 it is frustrating going from SSI to Minimum wage job to getting fired To the Department of rehab getting me a minimum wage job back to SSI after I get fired repeat etc. If I get the Commercial Pilot job, no more SSI, I would be making my own money, and I could just stay in the cockpit, so the passengers don't harass me and make me fall apart, maybe it will never happen who knows?

Hahahaha, oh the irony of reading this thread and seeing one of the conservatives here accuse Democratic candidates for lack of substance in their criticism. That's hilarious.

Rigged is not capable of discourse. He sees only in black and white, "you're on my team or you're the enemy, and all those not in my team all think this way"

Both liberals and Trump supporters have numerous people who think like that, but the trump people have made a science of dumbing down their followers.

Very interesting watching the Republicans explaining why they don't want witnesses at the trial. People don't want to listen to the truth of it challenges their picture of the world.

Some many people in this political climate can not discuss issues but only search for evidence to attack those or the ideas of those perceived to be on the other team.

Trump people are people that used to say we need small government and debt reduction.

Trump increases government agencies and increases the deficit and they cheer.

Trump people liked the invasion of Iraq in early 2000s.

Trump says he wants to get out of the Middle East and they cheer.

But he sends more troops to Saudi Arabia and assassinates an Iranian general and they cheer.

He says drain the swamp and they cheer.

But he puts his cronies in and uses government funds to stay at his properties and they cheer.

Trump is putting in regulations to ban vaping. That's not very Republican.

If Trump changed the platform to have tax payers fund abortions they wouldn't blink, they'd cheer.

The only ideology they have is that he says he is not a Democrat.

Democrats don't like him and that is enough of a reason to support him all the way.

I don't think Trump supporters would cheer if he gave amnesty to all undocumented immigrants, and advocated the open border.

One consistent thing about Trump and his supporters is that they hate non-white immigrants. When they say they are in favor of "legal immigrants" what they really mean is white European immigrants. They have relentlessly attacked LEGAL immigration of all kinds in the last three years, and Trump supporters cheered all the moves, because they are targeted at LEGAL immigrants from Asia, Africa, Latin America and Middle East. And they are perfectly fine with the illegal immigrant from Slovenia who became the First Lady, and brought her parents and sister with her.

Trump campaign promised to release Melania's visa records "in a few weeks." Three years later, I am still waiting.
