Yes. I'm not a fan and generally favor progressive economic policies. The economy is strong right now, but I envision a downturn in the near future. Maybe this particular tax cut was perfectly targeted, but I'm skeptical. 

 

 

I am not trying to be a smart alec, but what are progressive economic policies?  I understand growth oriented policies but not progressive economics.  Where have those worked for a sustained period of time?

 

I am in favor of a progressive (not puntative) tax system, minimal regulations, a temporary safety net, free markets (not crony capitalism) and free trade where the rules are equitable (i.e. not China's).  This will lead to sustained growth over time.  It does not mean never a recession but the trend will be upwards over time at a higher rate.

I think in 2008 they wiped out the FL results for something similar, but I forget the details (wasn't paying as close attention back then). Pretty sure there's a precedent for just ignoring the results all together. 

 

Which would help Biden. And is why they'll do it (more than likely). 

 

 


The 2008 shenanigans were something else. In Michigan, they later decided to give some of Hillary's delegates to Obama because "he'd have gotten some if he were on the ballot" (he passed). :blink:

Florida and Michigan "agreement."

The "D" have been pulling ***** to get the "right" candidate for many years now.  I hope Bernie enjoys his fourth house.

This reminds me of the scene in Gangs of New York where Boss Tweed says something to the effect of, it doesnt matter the number of votes, what matters is the counters

 

Reminds me more of The Dukes of Hazzard. Boss Hogg's slogan was "Vote early, and vote often".

I think that's why a lot of us voted for Trump. Not idea by any means, but better than the alternative. 

 

I think ayou are correct.  I didnt vote for Trump but i sure as hell couldnt vote for that corrupt old hag Hillary but this go around I will vote for Trump.  And keep in mind, no candidate is ideal, anyone who thinks they exist are lunatics like the zealots working for Bernie or the Biden supporters despite his being a creepy functional idiot.

Trump was 17/17 of the republicans in 2016 for me.  However, Hillary and Bernie were 18/19.  I would like him to control some of his Twitter urges but his policies have worked economically. 

 

I think much of the blowback is from libs who can not walk all over him like they did Bush, McCain and Romney.  They wanted to deal and be liked while they got their pockets picked.

It's odd.  I watched most of the debates that occurred once a month starting last July.

I don't remember a lot of economy talk at all.  Every time a moderate candidate tried to tell the most progressive candidates that their plans will cripple our economy, they were shunned.

Of the Democratic Party

  Just remember that in her mind as well with her fellow media the solution in their minds is to dispense with fly over country participation in the nomination process as well as the election process.  If outright elimination cannot be done then do middle America after NY, CA, FL, and IL have had their events.

The iowa caucus, what a farce.  Just give the nomination already to Biden and stop the pretense of the primaries.

 

And these caucus particpants, they are supposed to be politically astute and aware so we see a lady that didn't even know Butgeiegeg (?) 

was gay after she voted for him....yep, really engaged  and informed

Typical tolerant Libtard
