    1. Theres no guilt. Trumps poll numbers are higher than Obama’s and our economy is far better. Whats that tell me?
      #trump2020 easy win.

    2. The Democrat Communist Constitution: The Democrat Communist Party is not only above the Law, we are the Law. It is our way or no way. Those that oppose us are committing an act of treason. You will obey or face re-education or elimination. You will surrender all your worldly possessions including all firearms to the state, so that the implementation of The Green New Deal can proceed without hindrance, as dictated by the State. While implementing the Green New Deal, They the People will be transferred to State Run Camps where they will enjoy Free Health Care, Free Education, Free Room and Board. Those who survive State Run Camps, will continue to enjoy free healthcare, education, and room and board within our environment friendly, government run living quarters. With the implementation of no borders, no walls, and no USA at all, you will have the privilege of sharing your living quarters with those who are less fortunate. Remember you are all victims, only The Democratic Communist Party can save you.

    3. @brian gardner Nancy always new he would be acquitted by this corrupt senate; what she did was expose them, that is why she did what she did.

  1. BY FAR, THAT WAS THE WORST STATE OF THE UNION SPEECH I EVER HEARD. HIS WIFE PLAGIARIZING FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA’S PERFECT SPEECH COMES IN AT #2.

    THIS IS A TRAVESTY…….IS IT ANY WONDER WHY AMERICA IS “THE LAUGHING STOCK” OF THE WORLD?

    1. @A Donkey, WAITAMINUTE……..”AMERICA ARE FAR???” REALLY???

      DUDE, GET YOUR GRAMMER RIGHT………REPLACE THE WORD “ARE” WITH “IS.”

      AND, LASTLY, TRUMP TAKES CREDIT FOR EVERYTHING THAT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION DID. TRUMP DID NOTHING THAT WASN’T DONE ALREADY…….

      IN OTHER WORDS, HE IS A THIEF!! I CHALLENGE YOU TO PROVE ME WRONG! I DARE YOU…….

      PROVE ME WRONG!!

    2. @A Donkey, I AM WAITING FOR YOUR PROOF THAT TRUMP BROUGHT ALL THESE SUCCESSES…………

      CRICKETS…….CRICKETS……..
      CRICKETS…….CRICKETS……..

      JUST AS I THOUGHT…………

      CONFOUNDED!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    3. Jerry Hutchinson the use of “are” in my comment isn’t super incorrect (as I was referring to America as a country of people) but I agree I should’ve used “is”. Anyway, The Obama administration did nothing but doubled or tripled America’s debt to like 23 trillion lol. Trump is doing his best to alleviate that. With trump in power the American economy is booming. There is currently the lowest unemployment rate in American history – that includes blacks and hispanics.

    4. @A Donkey, I AM STILL WAITING FOR YOUR PROOF THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ECONOMIC “BOOM” ON THE STOCK MARKET. ALL YOU DID WAS MAKE A BROAD-SWEEPING STATEMENT. THAT IS NOT ENOUGH…….I WANT FACTS, NOT YOUR “FACTS!” ONE THING I CAN SAY: TRUMP IS TRYING TO ROLL BACK EVERYTHING OBAMA DID, TO THE POINT THAT HE IS TRYING TO ERASE OBAMA.

      THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. AND HISTORY, LIKE IT OR NOT, WILL PROVE TO BE MORE KINDER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA THAN TRUMP. OBAMA TRIED TO UNITE ALL MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE; BUT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOUGHT HIM TOOTH AND NAIL ON EVERYTHING. IN SPITE OF THAT, HE MANAGED TO GET SOME THINGS DONE WITHOUT THEIR HELP. ON THE OTHER HAND, TRUMP HAS DONE MORE HARM THAN GOOD BY CALLING LATINO PEOPLE “CRIMINALS, THUGS, RAPISTS AND THIEVES.”
      YOU KNOW, A DONKEY……..FUNNY THING…….HE CALLED THEM ALL THOSE DEMEANING NAMES WITHOUT THE THOUGHT THAT HE, LIKE THE WHITE MAN, OBTAINED THIS LAND BY BLOODSHED, BROKEN TREATIES THEY MADE WITH THE NATIVE AMERICANS (638 TREATIES BROKEN BY THE WHITE MAN), STOLE THE LAND, GAVE THEM DISEASE-FILLED BLANKETS TO GIVE THEM SCARLET FEVER, SMALLPOX AND A HOST OF OTHER FATAL DISEASES.

      SO, WHO IS THE REAL CRIMINAL HERE??

    1. @Mark bodman Nope!!! Not according to FiveThirtyEight; that’s the aggregate of alll major polls out at this exact time!! If you pay attention to just one poll at just one time in a month or even a day, that’s hardly accurate. Remember how WRONG the polls were re Hillary??! And 538 was the only place, showing Hillary had actually alot higher chance of losing than most. It’s how they poll. Obama, was higher than Trump at this point. And Obama also, was well above 50, even over 60% at times in his first term, which trump never was!
      His approval rating is below 50% in more than half the states he carried in 2016. He absolutely can’t win any state he lost in 2016, and will certainly lose some of those he carried. All it takes is three states to flip for him to lose, and right now I’d say he’ll almost certainly lose Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, and he has a good chance of losing Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, and Arizona. He was on track to lose the Electoral College by 50–100 votes before the impeachment. After voters, especially independents, see that he survived impeachment because the Republicans rigged the trial, they’ll assume he survived only because they rigged the trial, and they’ll turn out in even larger numbers to vote him out along with every Republican on the ballot. Democrats will turn out in record highs, and Republicans will turn out in near-record lows.

      In short, he’ll easily survive impeachment, but short of rigging the election he has no chance of winning in November.
      Check out 538 online, for today’s poll, for Weds. Feb. 5th.

    2. @Scott Allen the noise from those rocks in your head gives me a headache. Go get a degree or 2 and get a jobby job. Quit working at Burger King and go make your family proud.

  2. Boy this EARLY AM PANEL HAVE THEIR EXPENSIVE “BUT NOT TO YOU” HEALTH CARE & $$$ $$ MILLION SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS WITH GOLDMAN SACHS plus cushy desk jobs…….many of us working class folks have BACK BREAKING DANGEROUS WORK FOR 30 YEARS+….WE NEED A BERNIE SANDERS WHO IS THERE FOR WE NOT ME LIKE FDR……
    By the way what was FAUX PROGRESSIVE MS CLINTON DOING GOING TO TRUMP & LIMBAUGHS WEDDINGS?? THOSE TWO HAVE BEEN SERIAL PREDATORS FOR 40 YEARS AT LEAST?

    1. which implies both democrats and republicans can’t be trusted because of their actions- politicians always tell people what they want to hear than do the opposite

    1. @Mark bodman How many people in those states must take 2 or 3 jobs per household just to make ends meet. Got any stats for THAT?

    2. @slactweak I use to work with a WW2 veteran. Airplane mechanic. Who worked two jobs his whole life.
      My point being that many Americans have worked more than one job throughout history. Its not a new concept.

    3. @Mark bodman So, no stats for that. Didn’t think so.
      My parents both had jobs but it wasn’t because they HAD to in order to stay above water. When my mother decided that she’d had enough of working, (read: her body was so broken down from hard labor all her life), my father’s income was MORE than enough to provide AND afford luxuries. I’m talking about folks who are stuck in low paying jobs with a steadily climbing cost of living who MUST work two or three jobs per household JUST TO BREAK EVEN. I’m talking about folks who, DESPITE having to work those jobs can NOT stand even a $400 “emergency expense” because it would disrupt their ENTIRE budget for QUITE SOME TIME. Those tax cuts benefited the Rich, Period. Anyone who doesn’t believe that should hide and watch. When those temporary bonuses and such run out in a year or so, then we’ll just SEE what economists have been saying all this time. Trickle-down economics has NEVER worked in the history of this country and it isn’t working now.

    1. Look at Denmark, Sweden, Finland…..we can have a free market economy with social safety nets. If you don’t like socialism maybe you should stop driving. Roads, bridges, tunnels….yup they’re part of socialism. Why do we bastardize a word that already exists and is crucial to the make up of our nation. If we want to get into the true hypocrisy of what the current GOP represents how about a balanced budget. The last one to do that was a Democrat. Health care is not a privilege, it’s a right. Education is not a privilege, it’s a right. When did a free press become the enemy. That should be a very loud alarm bell for those of us that believe in the constitution.

    2. @Tseleng Botlhole Folks will always have disagreements in approach to various issues and a strong two-party system can be healthy, but the Democrat Party has descended into chaos. They are obsessed with Trump in an unhealthy way and have become totally unhinged. JFK would be shocked to see what his party has become. They have lost all common decency and live in a delusional world.

    1. ​@Karen Brock What the f’k are you talking about. What does any transgender issue have to do with Trump’s record of nearly 17,000 lies since he took office? Nothing any Dem ever did can hold a candle to that.

    2. @Jazz Haze he’s not to bad but still not telling truth. The truth that society needs to be awake to is the reality that all these man made systems designed to create a “civil society” are actually systems to create anything but a civil society. Justice system isn’t designed to result just decision, government isn’t designed to govern society it’s governing corruption just like the mob. medical system isn’t designed to result good health else big pharma would be out of business. education system isn’t teaching intelligence- it’s dumbing down society- list goes on. Chris Hedges isn’t offering solutions to all these systems, he’s just getting rich off complaining- he still supports every one of these systems thats causing all the problems he is getting rich from

  3. DNC cherry picked results of Iowa are beyond ridiculous at this point. Now 71%? Even if the app failed, it only takes a few hours to confirm precinct totals. This is criminal. They must face charges.

    1. @Mark bodman Not really, 66 Million votes Hillary / 63 Million Votes Drump 48% Hillary / 46% Drump. You need to think before you type.

  4. Healthcare will be taken care of, Mr. Barnacle, then the unions will be able to focus more directly on workplace protections and equality for the employees they represent. I get the sense you were fear mongering.

    1. And this conversation had nothing to do with the clip title. they bring on the governor to talk about Trump, impeachment, and the State of the Union.

      Fear-mongering at the behest of advertisers, and the people they socialize with. Bernie wants to cut the cost of Healthcare in half, and the benefits go to the people instead of shareholders.

      And everyone is covered, and nobody loses anything.

      How horrifying, run run little rabbits! Run to the loving arms of the Wall Street Insurance pigs. Bernie comin to git ya!

  5. Replacing health care of unions with health care that, the corporations they work for, can’t be taken away if/when they strike.

    1. I think you’re right. trump would like to dissolve all unions and union retirees
      cannot plan on their health
      care plans could always be destroyed and dine away with. GE retirees have seen. early attempts to remove their healthcare.

    2. Serafin

      Can you try that again in English?

      Apparently you want employers and employees to keep paying, because it ain’t free.

      You want them to pay double to private insurance companies, and their shareholders?

      Medicare for all cost half of private insurance, and everyone is covered. Union members lose nothing.

      They lose nothing, the cost is cut in half and paid in taxes, instead of a tax paid to corporate shareholders.

      No country with universal healthcare would ever walk away from it. There is something very wrong with the American brain.

    1. Pub Comrad well put. Using more Jedi skills like when he was impeached and she announced it and wanted the Dems to remain quiet and shushed them all with a simple hand movement

  6. MSNBC: lets air victory reactions of Pete before all the numbers are in

    MSNBC: lets take this opportunity to throw Bernie under the bus with a loaded question about healthcare

    1. A long time ago there used to be this thing called “reporting.” There were people that sat behind desks on TV and they reported “Verifiable Facts.” Now the media is in the Opinion business. That used to be called “Editorials.”…. I’m old! I’d love to live another 50 years. But I wouldn’t give up the living trough that “Reporting” reality for anything!
