KevinMKruse He has no plans. Trump is trying to manage the country on rhetoric and it has failed. This country and its position in world cannot be mange by lying and rhetoric its to big and complex. You cannot simplify the issues in America its is or was the largest economy in the world.

KevinMKruse Biden and Harris have both recently mentioned equity and equality of outcome as policy positions, calling it what it is is not 'misguided'.

KevinMKruse Hoho socialism? He got socialized medicine at his supposed covid stay at Walter Reed. Also seniors voting for trump should give up their social ( nite the words) security payments also their Medicare coverage. How’s that for beginner intro to socialism

KevinMKruse MSNBC trying to diffuse the socialist bombs that Biden/Harris have set off? Biden/Harris are tied to the extreme leftist agenda which is totally socialist and would not benefit the hard working middle class.

KevinMKruse Lockdown 1, 2,3 etc and then media 'Mutated Virus!' headlines and then Gov comes in and 'pays off everyone's debt' but in return give up all your property/rights to Gov. All housed in some Big Bubba Prison Housing next to serial killer hooligan apartment next door.

KevinMKruse

KevinMKruse What a sorry little man.

KevinMKruse Now that everyone knows about CrookedBiden, all voters need to be aware they can change their vote. They only have to go to their polling place and request a poll worker help them change their vote. Totally legal to change your mind right up to election day.

KevinMKruse Vote

KevinMKruse This will cost Biden election; videos, hard drives, witnesses, recordings, live TV interviews of business partners, log books, calendars, receipts. Worst case of corruption the world has ever seen. Gosh there was less used to accuse and impeach a president

KevinMKruse Trump wants to build permanent base on the moon.

KevinMKruse Thank You. People so desperately need to be informed about this.

KevinMKruse Live with socialised medicine ..it's helps drive an economy

KevinMKruse Y'know who needs to be fired? 45's barber. He looks homeless.

KevinMKruse Prediction: Trump will win Virginia

KevinMKruse PUTIN-TRUMP 2020

KevinMKruse The US police force is socialism itself, but that’s ok... when it comes to health - it’s bad. The language around it is toxic.

KevinMKruse Except that so many people give “socialism” as the reason they won’t vote for Biden. The entire electorate needs a comparative politics course. Can’t you make SchoolHouseRock for adults segments to air during commercial breaks?

KevinMKruse

KevinMKruse Typical

KevinMKruse Everyone knows pre-ghost Scrooge, the patron saint of capitalism. Nobody wants to return to the Dickensian Era.

KevinMKruse DevinNunes wants to defund police, hospitals, firefighters, farmers, etc. he has signs all over saying “say no to socialism”. He has no idea how this country works, and it’s amazing he’s in the house.

KevinMKruse Correct.Socialism has a poor record.

KevinMKruse The GOP have bathed themselves in Socialism through Federal, State and local tax breaks. Holding guns to states and politicians heads to get what they want all the while WE the TAX PAYER are paying the bills while they reap all the benefits! HAVEN'T YOU HAD ENOUGH?

KevinMKruse Poor record? I remember it working against HillaryClinton roughly 4yrs ago...wanna bet it works again? SAYNOTOJOE

KevinMKruse says brainless Biden who cant get his numbers or words straight

KevinMKruse Where’s Biden? Why aren’t you reporting he’s hiding in his basement.

KevinMKruse

KevinMKruse Socialism has killed a lot more people than TDS has destroyed brains, and that’s a lot of people.

KevinMKruse “Socialism is their (Republicans) name for almost anything that helps all of the people.” -President Truman

KevinMKruse Trump wasn't complaining when he was treated for the virus on our dime. That's kinda socialism isn't it?

KevinMKruse Lol look at MSNBC entertaining socialism. It rightfully deserves all the negative connotations associated with it

KevinMKruse

KevinMKruse Everything the MSM says about Trump is a trope but we expect nothing less from the party of “tolerance”.

KevinMKruse Man, is really trying hard to drag Biden's broken ass carcass across the finish line.

KevinMKruse Only because Socialism killed over 100 million last century. Are you morons kidding?

KevinMKruse You can see how desperate the Trump campaign was to run against Bernie instead of moderate Biden.

KevinMKruse Maybe, but the entire country to model after socialism, we’d all be poor while the govt would be rich. Don’t kid yourself or listen to msnbc!

KevinMKruse The GOP assumes it's evil socialism when tax payers money is used to help people in need but it's perfectly fine to give corporate welfare to the rich. To them that's not socialist. In fact that type of socialism is exactly the evil type, give to the rich and take from the poor.

KevinMKruse

KevinMKruse A little FYI. Bailing out farmers is socialism.

KevinMKruse Learn the difference between infrastructure and socialism. Then you can talk to the adults.

KevinMKruse Yes we all know the police, sanitation. Roadwork, Medicare is part of socialism. What TheDemocrats WANT TO DO IS TAKE AWAY YOUR constitutional. RIGHTS, We already see big tech WORKING W/ TheDemocrats CONTROL, CENSOR what we say, & WAY OF LIFE.

KevinMKruse Trump has set this country back

KevinMKruse THE MILITARY IS THE BIGGEST SOCIALIST PROGRAM THERE IS WANT TO GET RID OF THAT. YOU HAVE A 'SOCIALIST' WHITE HOUSE.!!

KevinMKruse Can't call yourself a Trump supporting nationalist while depositing your social security check...

KevinMKruse Hope so!

KevinMKruse

KevinMKruse What did JoeBiden say when you asked him about Hunters laptop?

KevinMKruse

LeaKThompson KevinMKruse Is that Alec Baldwin playing Trump? LOL looks just like him

KevinMKruse

KevinMKruse

KevinMKruse We are drowning in fake news media. This occurs at the end of an empire in an effort to control people and eliminate rights and independence. Trump wasn't sanctioned by the corrupt elites and they spent the last 4 years trying to destroy him but really destroy freedom and you!

KevinMKruse 하나님의 뜻을 온전히 지킨 자, 거의 온전히 지킨 자, 아주 많이 지킨 자, 어느 정도 지킨 자, 적게 지킨 자, 아예 지키지 않은 자 중에서 천국에 합당한 자는 오직 온전히 지킨 자입니다. 온전히 지키는 자는 오직 성령의 불을 받은 자입니다.

KevinMKruse This is so True

KevinMKruse Oh, Republicans love socialism — when it’s for rich people.

KevinMKruse But it worked for Adolf Hitler, so... 🤔

KevinMKruse News channels should report the news. Not there ideologies

'Abraham Lincoln here': Joe Biden jabs Donald Trump for comparing himself to 16th president during debate exchangeAs the debate turned to a discussion of the Black Lives Matter movement, Joe Biden jabbed President Trump for his boast that no president since Abraham Lincoln has helped Black people more than he has. Biden got hit harder last night than Hunter’s crack-pipe Biden stood on the Senate Floor and called black people Predators. He referred to black people using the N word. He said he did not want his children going to school in a jungle. Jim Crow Joe Biden is a racist and everyone knows it! Biden didn’t know where he was. He certainly didn’t do anything intentional. Nice try USA Today 🤪
