This is going to be the Trojan Horse that hurts Republicans long after Trump ends his 2nd term.

If these issues aren't addressed, all its going to take a smooth talker who actually knows how to play moderate to take Presidency from the GOP.

Bernie taking 44 percent of super tuesday delegates.

If you combine his with Chiefette Sitting Bull, he's over 50 percent, and if he's over 50 percent heading down the homestretch, it's gonna be real tough for the DNC to deny him the nomination.

Klobachur might drop out before. And if she does, it might give Pete just enough extra voters to keep him viable beyond Tuesday.

It's mind-boggling the GOP has no plan to address any of this.

They have a plan.

The plan is the government shouldn't be involved in any of this, and to let the "free market" dictate this.

The problem (and this affects both parties) is that leaders / elected officials are far removed from these types of issues.

Oh look, Nate made an account here.

What is the probability of you dying alone and bald? Polls are strongly leaning that way.

The amount of money about to be spent in Florida and New York is going to be obscene. This is going to be fun to watch.

Not at all. There is no magic source of money. You can’t give away trillions of dollars and have it all paid for my a couple of thousand people.

The problem isn’t “republicans”. the problem is grow arse adults that still believe in Santa Claus.

That will be proof of the fact that the Dem party is the party of low info voters even though they profess to be otherwise. Dem voters not really taking the time to understand what a socialist government will amount to have got to be the dumbest sumbitches to pull a lever in a political contest ever for president. All they hear is free this, free that.

Hell, even the staunch Dem politicians realize this isn't the way to go for our government.

This isn’t really true. The GOP wont touch Medicare with a 10 ft pole.

Bernie is going to need to get >40% of total delegates by Milwaukee to prevent DNC from stealing it from him.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. They haven't put forth a single viable plan as an alternative to Obamacare

And this assumes the next closest person is in the mid-20’s. I think Sanders has to win by like 12%+ if he is under 50%

Ehh... that could potentially be viable for the education side, but it really isn’t for healthcare. Free markets only work when there is ample competition and no externalities. Clearly, neither of those are true in the healthcare market.


There’s an opportunity for productive government intervention here. The nationalization of the insurance industry obviously isn’t it, but neither is covering our eyes and ears while shouting free markets. There’s a viable middle ground that we’ll have to embrace or the call for socialism from low information voters will only amplify. The system legitimately needs reform.

Bernie has the Trump factor of having loyal followers. Plus he is the main candidate that republicans want to win the democrat nomination.

Warren might as well too and start prepping for Bernie's VP spot. She's not making up that deficit.

Yes. A couple thousand for a simple x ray, found nothing, at the ER shouldn't cost a couple grand.
