Looking to pay for things but not a wall? Finding a home for all the sick and starving babies in Latin America and all of their families.

Dems will figure a way to have Schultz not run.  Smear campaign......etc

Wont be necessary. He is nothing.

[whiskeypriest]

Why Howard Schultz( a democrat) will run as an Independent and why democrats are livid.:


It concerns me that so many voices within the Democratic Party are going so far to the left. I say to myself, 'How are we going to pay for these things,' in terms of things like single payer (and) people espousing the fact that the government is going to give everyone a job.
I don't think that's realistic. I think we got to get away from these falsehoods and start talking about the truth and not false promises.
(T)he greatest threat domestically to the country is this $21 trillion debt hanging over the cloud of America and future generations. The only way we're going to get out of that is we've got to grow the economy, in my view, 4% or greater. And then we have to go after entitlements.

He’ll run as an independent because he has no idea what the fuck he is trying to do...

That does not make him an independent.  That makes him a Republican.

[whiskeypriest]

Red and kiiiiid haave a huge interest and pumping Schultz. But he is no threat. He has no base, no one knows who he is. Running as an independent he will be out of the horse race news, he will get no press, draw no crowds. He will not get tons of free tv. Nothing. But.keep pumping him up.

[barton]

Pump him enough that a couple percent of Trump's base, looking for more traditional fiscal conservatism, defect.  Just make Hickenlooper's victory that much cleaner.

Trying to think of an even marginally successful insurgent campaign run from the center. Schultz is not even the flavor of the month. He's the manager's daily special.

2 1/2 weeks to negotiate

You just KNOW nothing happens for the first 15 or so days.....

Schultz may only need to be a factor in a couple of states (see Nader, 2000, Florida)

Wishful thinking for the Trumpsters?  Sure.

I still hold out hope the Dems may nominate someone I would consider flipping for.  Mine wont be a revenge (I cant believe how they treat Trump) vote.

Give it up. Trump has always sucked at negotiation “in real life.”

Even his most reliable Washington Post apologist has written a “Captain Obvious” piece...

Where is the anti-gun uproar today after 4 HOU cops were shot by drug runners possessing illegal weapons?

No minority kid to use as a pawn?  Dont want to seem pro cop?

SYRIA

Estimated 1500-2000 ISIS fighters remain - over about 1 square mile

US staying has been pivotal.  Kurds urge President Trump not to make the same mistake President Obama made in Iraq, leaving too soon.   Trump has listened to his staff and reversed his course wisely.

I guess people have become numb...

Eighty percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say gun laws should be more strict, according a to Pew survey conducted in September and October 2018. Overall, 57 percent of adults say the rules should be tighter.

Despite these figures, outbursts of gun violence are no longer guaranteed to spur calls for action. An apparently random, execution-style shooting last week at a Florida bank, which left five women dead, barely registered in Washington, seized by negotiations over the government shutdown and enthralled by the beginnings of a race for the White House.

Yeah, let’s find a Bronx Democrat who is eager to commit political suicide just for shits and giggles...

Pelosi and Democrats have acquired a national flamethrower willing to train her aim on the GOP sacred cows and they’re looking to trade that weapon for a cap gun. Sure. Makes lots of sense.

This country's top intelligence chiefs called our "President" a liar today, but yeah, you keep keeping up with the latest AOC news.
