Gee do much for socialism where we are all equal

Let all of them debate. It would be a blast. Run the debates for 5 straight days for 5 hours. It would be like a sitcom marathon. Have the veiwers vote 2 candidates a night out of the debate.

Polling bar needs to be higher than 2%. I know the media wants another circus, but the Dems need to get down to business.

More shenanigans from the party lacking credibility. lockthemup

Sounds like a good time

Pelosi keeps resisting – variously citing GOP opposition, Trump's ability to exploit the issue, and the need for more investigation before making a decision. The Dem strategists also liked what Hillary was doing at the time. The House is on break all next week. They will be in session during June & Half of July.. then they will go on August Recess, not coming back till September.. strategy or just your slow ass government at work with Political Theatre to keep you on the edge of your seat! lol What stammering her speech and being incoherent....

It’s really going to come down to voters who like Trump and those that don’t. Both sides will be very motivated regardless of who the opponent is. Speculation now will only serve to setup an excuse for losing. Hold on to you seats, it is probably going to be a very tight race🌞

A big conviction shows Romania’s war on corruption is back on trackLiviu Dragnea, leader of Romania's governing Social Democratic Party, was sent to prison for three and a half years He will continue to use the resources of that beautiful country for 3 more years. It is true, from behind bars. It’s a mistake in the article. The PNL is the opposition party. His coalition partners are another much smaller liberal party called ALDE headed by the Senate President Calin Popescu Tariceanu. That’s just the start of things to come across the western world....
