Warren Asks Something Many Of Us Have Been Wondering For Months

"Throughout Tuesday night’s debate, the self-styled moderates repeatedly took aim at the two most popular candidates on stage ― Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) ― insisting their policy ideas were “unrealistic,” “radical” and unpopular.

If there was a ringleader for this cranky band of defeatists, it was former Rep. John Delaney (D-Md.), who spent much of his time in Congress deregulating big banks and much of his stage time Tuesday attacking “Medicare for All,” a Green New Deal and a wealth tax on the richest Americans".

After 90 minutes, Warren seemed to have had enough. When Delaney attacked Warren for “fairy-tale economics,” Warren delivered the most devastating line of the night.

“I don’t understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the United States just to talk about what we really can’t do and shouldn’t fight for.”

Moderate Democrats try to slow the party's sprint to the left

"The battle for the soul of the Democratic Party was on full display Tuesday night as a group of moderate candidates sought to constrain the party’s leftward surge regarding health care, immigration, taxes, higher education, climate change and race that they worry will cost it the election".

Buttigieg tells Republicans history will judge them harshly if they fail to stand up to Trump

"For most of the Democratic debate on Tuesday night, the candidates aimed their remarks at an audience of voters. Sometimes they aimed them more narrowly at the audience physically in the hall, or the journalists on the stage.

But for one moment South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg looked directly at the camera and spoke to an unexpected audience — Republican members of the Senate and the House of Representatives. He asked them to consider how history will judge their responses to President Trump".

Another one that I'm not really sure is gonna make it much further.

John Delaney insists he has a 'great chance' to win the election

"DETROIT — Rep. John Delaney battled with progressives during the Democratic debate on Tuesday evening in a series of feisty exchanges with Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Bernie Sanders, arguing their plans to expand social services are “impossible promises” that will hurt the Democrats’ chances to take back the White House. Yet Delaney, who is currently averaging less than one percentage point of support, bristled in the post-debate spin room when asked if he has a real chance to win the nomination".

Biden fumbles closing statement at 2nd Democratic debate

"At the end of the second Democratic debate, Joe Biden directed his audience to join his presidential bid, sending viewers to a non-existent website.

“Go to Joe 30330 and help me in this fight,” Biden said, failing to say “text” and invoking a command usually associated with web addresses".

What matters is what he said before the "fumble". That was the truth.

Biden rivals move to take away his Obama shield

"Halfway through the second Democratic debate Wednesday night in Detroit, a former aide to Barack Obama took a subtle but clear jab on Twitter at former Vice President Joe Biden.

“Some of my best friends are Barack Obama,” tweeted Teddy Goff, who played key roles in both of Obama’s presidential campaigns".

Andrew Yang says ‘immigrants are being scapegoated’ — and a new study backs that up

"Presidential candidate Andrew Yang said that “immigrants are being scapegoated” for reasons that have “nothing to do with our economy” during the second night of the Democratic debates on Wednesday night.

“I'm the son of immigrants myself,” said the 44-year-old entrepreneur. “My father immigrated here as a graduate student and generated over 65 U.S. patents for G.E. and IBM. I think that's a pretty good deal for the United States. That's the immigration story we need to be telling. We can’t always be focusing on some of the distressing stories".

After shooting, Democrat O'Rourke accuses Trump of stoking racism

"El Paso (United States) (AFP) - Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke accused President Donald Trump Saturday of inciting hatred after a mass shooting in his Texas hometown that police are investigating as a possible hate crime.

Speaking to reporters outside a hospital in El Paso where he was visiting victims of the shooting, O'Rourke said Trump had proven himself a racist with his recent attacks on four ethnic minority congresswomen and his past branding of Mexicans as rapists.

"He is a racist and he stokes racism in this country. And it does not just offend our sensibilities, it fundamentally changes the character of this country and it leads to violence," said O'Rourke, who represented El Paso in the US Congress until recently".

2020 Democrats Rush to Bear Hug Obama After Offering Some Mild Criticism

"LAS VEGAS, NEVADA — Just days after Barack Obama’s legacy came under sustained criticism during the second round of Democratic presidential debates, the party’s leading candidates rushed to bear hug the former president and assure primary voters that they view him as nothing short of the gold standard.

“I did watch some of the criticisms of his administration in the debate. But I think overall if you look at him, it's pretty amazing actually, how smart he is, and what a good job he did of figuring out what to do,” said billionaire progressive activist Tom Steyer. “I think he had some real headwinds that he had to fight. But if you really look at what President Obama stood, for what he tried to do as well as what he did, really impressive".

The Dayton Daily News reported Monday evening that the gunman who carried out a mass shooting early Sunday morning “definitely leaned to the left” politically and had talked to friends recently about shooting up local bars. On Sunday evening, Breitbart News reported that Twitter had suspended an account reportedly linked to the shooter. The account had tweeted in support of socialism, in favor of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), against President Donald Trump, and against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In a new report, the Dayton Daily News confirms that the shooter, who killed nine people and wounded over two dozen, was left-wing — and that he did not support the Second Amendment

I haven't decided what was funnier. Offensive "Perfume?" The jazz wave was very ridiculous. Being genderless, had it's moments. About the best, was the offensive whispering disturbing one delegate.

Made me wish that I could have been in the lobby of that hotel- And be a Perfume Sniper!
