Not sure about the end game, but any discussion of education inequality needs to start with analysis which contrasts the gaps in the utilization of "free" public education by students and parents from differing economic positions. In other words, contrast the effort and commitment and district practices.

So an old white guy thinks he's the best candidate for the Dems?

The responses from Gordon show how committed they are to their leftist partners. Thanks for posting, revealing.

The amount of media attention she's getting is insane until you weigh the entertainment value - for both political sides.

Why do you and so many millions of others get all lathered up about this petty crap when we have $22T in debt and climbing, an obvious need for border security and some order brought to immigration and health insurance costs rising by double digit percentages every year? Why?

Brexit

Loosely defined money in budgets is loosely spent.

That was before they realized they could turn AZ and TX blue. It's a mission.

Paid it forward and all that's left is an unsecured debt.

What policies have Dems put on the table and why are they good?

Ginsburg is way too tough. She'll live for years and years.

Fine, then meet with Trump and tell him directly rather than run it through the media.

They're broke so the free help from Russia is appreciated.

Sigh..... Let's start with which nation had the largest CO2 reductions (2017), yup, the U.S. Let's see if we can lead the way in 2018 as well. Green energy will continue to proliferate as it becomes more cost effective. http://www.aei.org/publication/chart-of-the-day-in-2017-us-had-largest-decline-in-co2-emissions-in-the-world-for-9th-time-this-century/ Tax cuts were across the board but brackets below about $150K had larger decreases and "the wealthy" above $250K are still subject to the additional .9% medicare tax and 3.8% obamacare tax in addition to their higher income tax rate. Caps on state income tax deductions on fed returns negatively affect higher income earners. https://www.kdpllp.com/2017-vs-2018-federal-income-tax-brackets/ Large deficits though are a problem we agree on. Infrastructure improvements would be nice but we are not in a good enough fiscal position to have the fed completely fund and manage it IMO. The parent/child separation at border is SOP. We can't jail the kids in cells full of mixed adults and let's not forget who brought the kids into that environment even after being told how they will be detained.

Still think Romney should have mopped the floor with Obama in 2012 but our country can't discern campaign rhetoric and media bias from real priorities and the ability to lead and govern. I believe Mitt would have done well in that regard. Can't understand Romney's recent comments though. Helps nobody including himself.

Agree and 3 that are potentially better players than any on the roster now.

No thank you. We don't have a free market system of health care insurance in this country. Not even close. We have over 70 million on Medicaid and over 60 million on Medicare. Both of these are essentially single payer systems which are supposed to be funded by tax dollars. We have an ever increasing share of the population being covered by these programs and they are underfunded because subscribers and services provided are increasing much faster than are tax receipts. Obamacare made this a certainty when it expanded Medicaid enrollment and coverage benefits. Both Medicare and especially medicaid pay doctors and hospitals way under market rates so to think that we can cover an entire population at the same rates is a fallacy. We have in this country 50 separate state markets created by government all monopolized by the health care insurance companies. Since coverage levels are mandated and markets are closed to outside competition, there essentially isn't competition. It's essentially government mandated coverage funded privately and funded at much higher rates because 40% of the population is serviced through Medicare and Medicaid at deep discounted rates. That and the few carriers in each state fight over the business of large employers giving them larger discounts meaning small businesses or individuals pay the most for insurance. And speaking of pricing, people and their carriers are charged wildly different amounts for the same services without pricing being published and without any practical way of negotiating those costs if they have no coverage or crappy coverage. Our laws prevent most from having a health savings account. Only some can have those. Dumbest law ever. As for your comments on billing, Health insurance stopped being insurance a long time ago when it got involved every time someone saw a doctor or got a simple prescription. Our U.S. Federal government has never in history administered a broad based entitlement in a fiscally responsible or cost effective manner. What we have in this country is a patchwork of very restrictive laws that prevents us from having the free market system which to some extent once existed in my lifetime. We won't have cost efficiency until we lift restrictions and make people more personally responsible for maintaining and funding their own health and care.

On illegal immigration we're likely to get nothing more than another partial and crappy government solution to a serious problem. Until this is addressed in totality (Visa monitoring, change catch and release/asylum laws, physical border security and relationships with Mexico and others) the problem endures. Trump speaks to the problem but hasn't laid out the total solution which is disappointing so far.

McCoy is one strained hammy in TC, PS or early in the reg season from repeating this year's numbers. Given his history of that problem I think the Bills will make a move to find a back that can be the starter. Zay Zones has improved and he certainly has upside but his speed, hands, separation need quite a bit of work.

What's there to like?

Wait a minute, why will we never know? Hasn't Mueller been hot on the trail of Putin and his comrades that colluded with Trump and his people to rig our election in Trump's favor? Aren't we merely hours or days away from Mueller dropping bombshells? This is what I've been reading for over a year. It must be true, right?

That's Kimberly's job now.

Shocked if Rex even gets an interview.

It's a shame that the org didn't field better teams during some of his career. He deserved more team success.
