    1. @jo mar Yes, that was a lie that is hurting her. Pity people don’t look at the candidate and ignore the lies told. It’s Hillary’s emails all over again. Are you OK with someone who advocated the violent overthrow of the government? Are you OK with pushing for the state to seize the means of production and transportation? Because I think that is a lot more disqualifying than one fired baby saying “she was mean to me”.

    2. All the left are delusional!!!! They just don’t get it. WE WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM AND NEVER WILL!!!! THEY ARE DONE!!!!!!

  1. Isn’t this the same woman who berates her whole staff and has the highest staff turnover of anybody in the senate?

    1. D Smith
      Isn’t Bernie Sanders the man who ignored sexual harassment claims by female campaign workers in his 2016 run until they went to the press ? YES HE WAS ! Sanders also paid his male campaign workers more than his female workers . D Smith <-- is such an obvious shill for the Sanders campaign.

    2. @Bjay AwesomeBlackDude The thing to always remember about Bernie Sanders is that in both Iowa and New Hampshire, just under 75% of Democrats voted against him. And in New Hampshire, that included independents. In 2016, he never won a majority of voters participating in primaries. In 2020, he won fewer votes in New Hampshire than he won in 2016. Senator Sanders is as much a populist as Trump. Sanders barely eked past Mayor Buttleig. And New Hampshire is Vermont’s neighbor .

    3. @Lucia Martin I guess it’s easier for you to bring up HRC who isn’t running for any office than to actually defend Bernie. Trumpers and Berners can’t let go of Clinton.

    4. @SA SA Senator Sanders treatment of his sexually harassed 2016 female campaign workers by male campaign workers was easy for him to just ignore — until those female workers went to the press . Sanders also paid those female workers less than his male workers . That cuts to the core of the image Sanders
      tries to project to the public .

    5. @Billy File Bravo ! Well said — Sanders wants to overhaul the entire medical industry in the U.S. and has never worked a day in his life in the medical industry — Bernie Sanders said during an interview with CNBC’s John Harwood, regarding his Medicare-for-all plan – “You’re asking me to come up with an exact detailed plan of how every American — how much you’re going to pay more in taxes, how much I’m going to pay. I don’t think I have to do that right now,” he said. That’s no different from Trump saying in 2016 that he had some magic health-care plan he would reveal after getting elected. THE FACTS: Savings from Medicare for All are not a slam dunk.

    1. What annoys me the most is there’s a man in the White House that is willing to fight. I think the Dems are fools for not joining forces with Trump. They’d get pretty much of everything except open borders and freebies for all. There’s a lot of room left in the middle to satisfy everyone. But instead look at the crap they’ve pulled. Stupid.

    2. @Krambo44 Hmm, what happened to Trump’s promise of bigger, better, fantastical health care that would be cheaper for everyone? You really are a dolt if you think he’s fighting for anything other than his own interests.

    3. George Petlowany I guess Obama care was a great idea in your eye. I got great health coverage because I went to school and got a great job that offered better insurance. Better your life. Go to school. Become something. Your the dolt. Dummy.

  2. You could of watched MSnbc all day long until the next and barely any mention of news about Bernie Sanders won New Hampshire… man almost too weird to believe. 😲🤬

    1. @Bjay AwesomeBlackDude I’m with you all the way. I hear you with the 14 hour day, and at the end of it, I’ll bet there’s no healthcare plan to speak of. I’m glad you took the correction in the spirit it was intended. You’re right. FDR had the best plan for the nation, and had he lived he would have been handily elected to a fifth term.

    2. @Krambo44 I find it commendable that you live such a clean life and have the wherewithal to use discretion in your personal associations. Incarcerated individuals currently receive better health care than most US citizens at no charge to them. In countries where universal healthcare applies, there are reciprocal agreements between nations that cover the healthcare of non-citizens. Some people work for personal greed. Others work for the common good. Both have value as people.

    1. No, no they didn’t. Let me check my voicemail, nope..no message there. Is this really how the DEMs do it now Schiff saying “you know” how many times, and now this. Don’t get me wrong, Republicans do it too “Americans see this for what it is, a scam”. I want both sides to stop, but adding in decency, like if you disagree you must not be decent….sad freaking day.

    1. They are the propaganda arm of the DNC… How suspicious is it really?? They’ve pushed out everyone that’s to the right of Chairman Mao, and all that remains of the DNC is socialists and communists… That’s why Bernie is winning, that’s why the DNC is in full blown panic mode, and that’s why president Trump is going to win re-election by a historic margin.

    2. @Existential Crissy & E.C. jr I didn’t say his bills didn’t do anything. What I am saying what he wants to implement won’t pass. He will be a useless president.

    3. @Nunya Bizness it could also go the other way and Bernie’s changes could help save the millions of homeless or impoverished americans.
      I vote for the candidate I believe will be good for my country and its citizens. If there’s a chance Bernie could be president, I’m willing to do my part and at least try.

    4. @Existential Crissy & E.C. jr lol oh come on…. Corporate democrats and Republicans are against him. So none of his proposals will pass.

      A majority of Americans don’t care for the idea of socialism so I doubt he will even win

    1. @I know You’re Right Wrong, remember Clinton, the DNC, and useful idiots like yourself stole the election from Bernie Sanders in 2016 and THAT’S why we have Trump. Hillary couldn’t win a PRIMARY and none of these carbon copy sellouts can either.

    2. Ha ha Ha Yea right. That’s why there were blocks and blocks waiting to get to Trump… lol Even waiting in the cold rain ect.

    3. Patriotically Incorrect. The alleged independent Bernie has accepted the Democratic Party rules. It’s despicable that now his followers claim “RIGGED!” every time the results don’t favor him.

    4. I know You’re Right so I take it you didn’t see the coin flip video. So just spew DNC and MSM talking points and call it a “debacle” or you could actually think for yourself for once.

  3. Everyone should be running on a platform on how he/she can do a better job, and not to talk about the obvious on Trump.

    1. substring zero I totally agree with you. I really don’t consider myself a Rep or a Dem, I vote for who I think will do the best job. All i see with the Democratic Party is them worrying about Trump , which completely turns me off and I’d never vote for any of them. Many people like me would vote Trump in a heartbeat seeing how the Dems are acting.

    2. as any of these mainstream media puns talked about the black 16 year old boy that she put in prison for life after no forensic evidence and her police officers paying $500 to in jail informates to come up with a name, and a lot of them has recanted now, and the worst of all another man has admitted to the crime, what a leader? And she bragged about it on debate stage

    3. Greg Hill They’re all fountains of misinformation. I’ve heard more Democrats on job sites I work on that will be voting Trump. TRUMP 2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    1. @Carl Witt don’t plan on having the economy doing any better a 1.5 trillion dollar deficit is exactly why it looks so good it is not. He’s taking our tax money and paying off who he needs to pay off Farmers, coal miners, small businesses, so the economy looks good it’s not it sucks and we’re 23 trillion dollars in debt. Do you have any idea how much the new tariffs are costing the taxpayers? How much the US is making? Check out the new tariffs at http://www.whitehouse.gov, though it is difficult to find as this administration has completely f’ed it up. Do some research, you look foolish following the fool.
