Despite gaffes, Biden holds strong support among blacks in South Carolina

"COLUMBIA — As nearly two dozen Democratic presidential candidates here for a ritual fish fry event that marks the symbolic kickoff of the South Carolina campaign, former Vice President Joe Biden appears to be enjoying considerable early support, especially from the capital’s tight-knit black community".

I knew that many Republicans were pretty low down people. And this proves it. You try to make a joke, statement, but you do it on the backs of those less fortunate. You make a joke at the mentally challenged expense. Does it mean you are smarter? does it mean you think you are better or above someone who in your eyes is retarded? as you say? I hate to tell you, but the jokes on you. It's sad really. It just shows how close some are to scraping the bottom. You can't come up with anything meaningful? Just using those less fortunate for your sick entertainment fodder.

2020 Vision: The first week of the rest of the campaign begins

"Over the next week, the 2020 Democratic candidates are going to be spending a lot of time in close proximity to one another. First comes this weekend’s festivities in South Carolina, starting with the Blue Palmetto Dinner and Rep. James Clyburn’s “World Famous Fish Fry” on Friday night, which 22 of the 23 candidates will attend. (Montana Gov. Steve Bullock had other fish to fry, in New Hampshire.) On Saturday, 21 candidates are set to speak at the South Carolina Democratic Convention. With voting set for Feb. 29, South Carolina is the fourth primary state but the first where African-Americans, a key part of the Democratic constituency, will have a major say in the party’s nominating process".

Elizabeth Warren is running the year's most substantive campaign. What does that say about everyone else?


"The way a lot of my colleagues in the media have been talking about her, Elizabeth Warren is running for president in a way that’s different from anyone else who has ever run for president, or at least since the printing press came along."

U.S. conservative group to launch attack ads against Biden during Democratic debate

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Club for Growth, a conservative political group, will launch new attack ads against Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden targeting his past statements about race that will run during his first debate appearance next week.

The decision by Club for Growth to attack Biden is based on internal polling the organization conducted that was viewed exclusively by Reuters. The ad will air on MSNBC and NBC stations in Des Moines, Iowa, according to the organization".

It's amazing how many people vote based on what they hear. Never once has an ad influenced my beliefs as they are grounded in knowledge not feelings.

Our media is irresponsible. It will make the criminal look like the victim and make the victim look like he's the criminal. If you aren't careful, the media will have you hating the people who are being oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.

This is sort of a propaganda tactic that I would call psychological warfare.

Democrats are now up to 25 candidates. Admiral Sistak just announced he is running. This is a tad bit ridiculous, they need to thin the herd not add to it.

Personally I would like to see Senator Jim Webb enter the race. I would vote for him over President Trump.

Everyone is going after Biden on all sides. He's the biggest target in the primaries and frankly hes going to be the nominee. The voters don't decide who the nominee is, the crooked superdelegate system does and Biden has that locked down unless he really screws up.

Bernie Sanders: John Bolton Wants To Lie Us Into War In Iran Like He Did In Iraq, Like They Did In Vietnam

" Sen. Bernie Sanders joined MSNBC's Ali Velshi Tuesday to denounce national security adviser John Bolton in response to reports from the New York Times that he has ordered a plan to be drawn up to attack Iran.

Bernie Sanders unveils sweeping student debt cancellation plan

"Bernie Sanders unveils sweeping student debt cancellation plan".

"Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is unveiling a student loan plan that would wipe out more than $1.5 trillion in American student debt.

The plan, first reported by The Washington Post, goes further than proposals by fellow presidential candidates in that it aims to cancel all of the student debt held by 46 million Americans (including graduate school debt). Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) recently unveiled a plan aiming to cancel up to $50,000 in student debt based on household income, which her team said would help 42 million Americans".

Anybody making this kinda statement or using this language should really re-evaluate their own intellegence . Lame and pathetic

If the Dems aren't importing votes except for the few die hard trump haters..then they attempt to buy votes by claiming they will forgive student loans..Well then how about this ..in a show of good faith ..why don't they forgive them now..because they can't ..and if they were lucky enough and rigged the election and get into office..they won't forgive the loans and blame the Repulicans for it ..and their TDS followers won't have a clue that once again they were DUPED again..because most won't read what is being said..they only hear what they want to..because their loans won't be forgiven ..just those of PUBLIC SERVANTS...
