Huh?
Cogent speech? Quite a good job?
Republicans and Democrats just simply do NOT look at anything in the same way. The gulf between is infinite.
Edited to add.....I think I've got it.
Republicans revel in a life of misery (for everyone but themselves). The exude it from their pores. They hate life, they hate themselves, they just hate. Everything except their money.

Daniels sounded more 'cogent' than any of the gop presidential candidates imo.
Not that that is saying much.

3) there will be no brokered convention. It would guarantee a 40-45 state defeat.
Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)Boring, light on specifics, pessimistic - nothing great. He certainly didn't hit it out of the ballpark like maybe Clinton did in the 80s when he gave a response to Reagan (or Bush, I can't remember).
Old and In the Way
(37,540 posts)He's as much responsible for the fiscal mess that Bush dumped on Obama as anyone in that administration. With that background, he was totally disingenuous with his comments and criticisms. He ought to have taken the time to ask for our collective forgiveness.

(9,893 posts)That made the budget balance, you see!
He also obviously wants to make SS and Medicare into an entitlement program that will be easy to chop to death.
That Tweety gets excited about "bringing SS and Medicare" under control shows that Tweety really thinks like the 1%. Tip would be very, very disappointed in his protege.
I agree that this guy isn't as bad as Newt, but he ain't great.
