    Watched 40 seconds of the debates last night

    It may have been less even. I absentmindedly landed on the debate channel while searching for a different channel. During the few seconds I was there one candidate was yelling for student loans to be erased, another one was yelling about the poor poor homeless in CA and how taxes needed to be increased to provide for them, then the last one, before clicking to another channel, was that the rich needed to be further punished and taxed more because they had made a success of their lives.

    It's almost impossible for me to accept that through too much diversity, too much emphasis on being PC regarding who's feelings are we going to hurt, too liberal and a nation w/o laws and constitution that America could produce such people.

    They would sell their souls (if they still have one) for votes.

      Left red meat, pivot to center for general election.

      Same story on the right.

        Looks like I wasn't the only one underwhelmed but I only wasted 40 seconds of my time.

        While not a comprehensive list, here’s one concerned American’s thoughts on the seven most glaring mistakes and omissions regarding the economy coming from the 2020 Democratic hopefuls in the latest debate.

          It's a shame we closed all the nuthouses and let people like this walk the streets.

            I wasn't that brave. I didn't want to have my IQ exposed to idiocy.

              Allen's attention deficit disorder is a serious condition.

                Gotta agree with Clint.

                This is their 4th debate and the viewing attendance drops more every time. I read where the viewers are at record lows.

                  How do we report personal attacks?

                    Hardly. I'm showing the same care and concern I would for anyone.

                        The report button may not work. Should be easy to check.

                          I call BS on that statement.

                            Since we're off topic, I cannot remember the last gun-related post by bostonbound. At least some of us try to contribute meaningfully in the non-political sections. If a guy's sole purpose is to snipe, then probably he can go on ignore with nothing missed.

                              Wow, look who's calling the kettle black.

                              1. Not all topics need to be gun-related in fact few these days are.
                              2. "At least some of us try to contribute meaningfully in the non-political sections" Well it sure isn't you and at the same time you are admitting that your political "contributions" are not meaningful.
                              3. "If a guy's sole purpose is to snipe, then probably he can go on ignore with nothing missed." Amen. You are on many ignore list I hear.
