I don't know.  Maybe he should have spoken more plain english.

If we agree - that is always a good thing.

[Yankguy1]

You believe that thinking on one's feet is an important skill for a President?

Kid knows stuff.

I don't know who half the candidates are, but I'm sure things would have been better if Marianne had burned some sage first to purify the atmosphere.

This is what happens with the demise of party bosses and smoke-filled rooms.

I like there are so many out there competing to get their message out. Dismissing folks who aren’t considered “Heavyweights” ignores the ideas these folks have that inspired their supporters to give them enough money and effort to get them on the stage.

Time will winnow down the field so what’s the rush to throw away passionate segments of the Democratic coalition?

We don’t have to push them off the stage,just let them quietly drop out over the next few weeks and keep their followers engaged through the rest of the process.

Notice not many folks talking about Bernie... the Bros won’t like that. I expect them to go HAM on every woman in the race...

All the "debates" have shown is how disorganized the Democratic party is, and it has a lot of work to do in crafting a coherent message to the American people.

Not disorganized, it is inclusive. Why not spend a few months passing around the megaphone and spreading Democratic ideals for a wide variety of policies from border to border and sea to Sea?
Giving these candidates their space will make it easier for their supporters to move their energy to a smaller and smaller group of candidates.

Chance are these voters won’t become the “or Bust” Bernie bros or the idiots who literally pissed away their votes on Jill Stein.

I thought the debates were precisely as organized and had precisely the coherent message that you would expect from 20 candidates competing against each other for attention, air time, and votes. Slightly better than the 2015 first Repo debates because the responses seemed more issue and policy focused (Ms. Williamson self confessedly excepted), less personal (both each other and opponents) and no one has referred to the size of his penis. Yet.

If there are still double figures in candidates when New Hamphire rolls around, that is different.

Hey, nice - that one is catching on.

Larry is on the mark with his last few comments.

Just saw some debate highlights.
Biden looks older than I expected -- I haven't seen him in a while.
Also, didn't seem that well-prepared.   Hard to believe he will stay in front.

I think Warren is pretty great.  I've been sold on her for years. 
I like Kamala.  Smart and incisive.  But it's early for her.  Would make a good Veep.  Sanders probably my 3rd choice at this stage.

I like the loaded field and democracy in action.
It's an interesting field.  Good stuff.

Next.debate at the end of July has the same rules for qualifying. Meaning there could be even more on stage. Time.for Sethmania!

Here is the article and photos of the flyers/pamphlets;

smh = 'Sydney Morning Herald'...major newspaper...ok to click on.

'Much can be learned!': Trump praises Australia's asylum seeker policy

US President Donald Trump has praised Australia's "Illegal Immigration" policy just hours before he is due to meet Prime Minister Scott Morrison for dinner at the G20 summit in Japan.

"These flyers depict Australia's policy on Illegal Immigration. Much can be learned!" Mr Trump tweeted on Thursday morning local time.

Flyers/pamphlets dropped from the sky etc, spread around in relative areas.

Wise man that Mr Trump, he can see what works.

[bambu.]

Here’s an example of the “Illiberal Left” using extreme imagery to advance a political message and I’d use such every day of the week and twice on Sunday to abolish these immoral and unAmerican policies of this Administration.

Fuck the GOP donor base and their fucking enablers.

You won't like the end result of open borders, with anyone and everyone who so desires just walking in by the millions.
Eventually you will be paying for them to live in resort hotels after all the available free housing has been used up...as happened in Australia when the Left opened the floodgates [that had been shut] and 50,000 asylum-seekers poured in on 800 boats...and 1000+ men, women, children, and babies perished at sea/on rocks.
Or your parks will be squalid tent cities.
You, will be paying, in more than one way.
