Debate predictions...

neither did I.. why do you think I believe he did? I have written nothing that would remotely suggest I thought Trump meant that. even Waco knows that. try to argue rationally next time.



nope.. 50-50 for now. Trump had other avenues, but he bailed.. appropriating other funding sources, to use for the Wall. Trump decided to skip that idea. he has not been persuasive in his crisis arguments. Trump believes traffickers, Drug Lords and Rapists are the problem, Democrats think Leadership breakdowns in Venezuela and its neighbors, are the source of the problem. when 2 sides are that far apart, on the root cause, no wonder the crisis continues. but Trump could be remanding these people back home, like he promised.. instead he warehouses people, hoping to deter the next wave. remember early in his Presidency, when Trump and the Right touted the idea that illegals were afraid to try and come, now that Trump was in charge, they were too afraid? that is so funny to think about now.

You just said you said they are “paying a little”. When in fact they are paying a lot to avoid paying more in tariffs. You said you didn’t take Trump “literally”. That’s what you said. The bottomline, Mexico is spending a significant amount of money to stop the flow of immigrants. Either thru the new trade agreement or enforcing their southern border. Both ways it’s better than it’s been for decades from them. So essentially, the money we save for Mexico’s actions, they are paying for the wall. BTW, will you admit your were wrong? The wall is being built as we speak.

According to the Drudge Report and the Washington Examiner, Tulsi Gabbard won the debate easily. Both are considered to be right wing organs though. However, Google reports that Tulsi was the most looked up name of all those on the stage. Booker came in a distant second and only where black people reside. The people of Oklahoma were looking up that white woman Elizabeth Warren.

no, both sides are at fault, but you insist on giving Trump a pass. remember how he was going to remand all these illegals back to their host Countries? bullshit.. he was all bluff. just like Mexico paying for the Wall.. just like "lock her up", he hasn't done shit about Hilary's crimes.

There is the law, the investigation, the indictment, the trial, and the conviction before anyone gets locked up. Yeah, Lincoln was at war, Wilson manufactured evidence, and FDR said he was "protecting" Japanese-Americans. Jeff Sessions was asleep at the switch but the IG investigation is ongoing. As with everything else, things don't happen overnight especially when you have drag members of your own party with you.

Here are some opinions as to the "winners" and "losers" in the first debate:

Any news outfit that reports Blasio "soared" above everyone else needs to pee in the cup. As for the pandering Booker, can you find a smaller demographic than transgender people? Tulsi didn't talk about them...most of the country doesn't talk about them unless one does something idiotic. You never hear of a 6'2" trans-woman running into a burning building to save lives. You do hear of Bruce Jenner almost killing a woman with his car.

Ok lets see how I do. Again, I didn't watch. Tell me how close I get.

Climate Change - The world will end if we don't do something.

Immigration policy - Anything from complete amnesty to abolishing ICE but all the while insisting we will have secure borders.

Trump Bad.

Gun Control - They don't want to take our guns, only the ones they don't like.

Healthcare - Everyone, including illegal immigrants get free health care. Their plan to pay for it will not have bipartisan support EVER.

Close?
