Another one that was forcefully against him until her political ambitions trumped her morals. That or the blackmail got to be too intense. Either way, there is a lot of her saying he's everything I never want my children to be, nothing our party should aspire to, etc. etc. out there. So this is beyond pitiful.

This seems like a pretty good idea to me.

1. This person underestimates the length it will take to implement the programs
2. And then how long it may take for the effects/positive results to be seen
3. This would allow the GOP to argue in 2022 and 2024 about how "empty" the Dems' promises had been and how they're wasting money.
4. If the GOP wins in 2024, they'll take all the credit for the good this does and then not extend.

This ad ran during the baseball game last night. I was literally sputtering in anger.

The ad I see here all the time is the one about how Democrats in Congress don't want to reduce prescription drug prices. But what makes that one infuriating is that it's partially true for congressional Democrats who are owned by big pharma.

WTH? I definitely haven't seen that ad, how ridiculous. This is quite the twist, in trying to add dental, vision, and hearing aids to Medicare, Conservatives are trying to spin it as a "squeeze" as if the entire thing is going to be a lesser service? Who knew?

Remind me of all that the GOP did to lower prescription drug prices over the last 4 or heck, 20 years, let's take it back to the Bush years. I think I missed their many contributions if someone wants to offer up the highlights.

To be honest Democrats have a pretty weak mandate to make major changes to how the country works.

Good for Bernie.
That is the difference between the GOP and the DEMS. The GOP steps in line. DEMS remain independent. And nothing ever gets done by either (except GOP'ers slashing taxes).
