Prediction for tonight's debate

It will be an hour long barrage of questions about Medicare For All and how Bernie is going to pay for it. Just like every other debate we've had the past year.

A second hour will be spent questioning candidates about their criminal justice record and accusations of racism.

Basically another night spent arguing over the details of a healthcare bill that Mitch McConnell will never allow to become law. While portaying all our candidates as not caring about police violence towards the black community. And no questions about our racist President and his white supremacist policies who has no healthcare plan and is in court trying to end Obamacare.

Hopefully I'm wrong but the MSM is oh so predictable.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

11. And Republicans have been on a spending spree
Tue Feb 25, 2020, 04:57 PM
Feb 2020

the last 3 years. Bernie should really point that out. That Trump has run up the deficit. We're paying for his tariffs, farmer bailouts and border wall.

I like how Bernie has been mentioning "corporate socialism" more lately. He should hammer that point home everytime he's asked about Democratic Socialism and raising taxes on the wealthy.

The GOP has become the party of runaway spending and fiscal irresponsibility. Every Democratic Candidates should remind voters of their hypocrisy.

Even now, during the primaries. Stop trying to out-left eachother and out-purify eachother. Tell the swing states why Democrats are a superior choice to Trump and Republicans up and down the ballot. Every time! Sure, make the argument that you're the best of the best, but don't forget to underscore why Democrats *are* the better choice for America by illuminating just how damaging, demented, and dangerous the Republican party has become.

If any one wants to overtake Bernie, they will have to argue electability. No one gives a shit about these policies. Not a lot of difference. Warren, Amy will be finished after Tuesday. Warren will probably waste her time on NDAs.

it's pretty sweet to have one every week now

The correct answer that they won't give is that we will campaign on M4A and then compromise down to a more moderate public option while closing up loopholes and fixing the issues the Trump administration has inflicted. But that's not as catchy.

...will fend off the huge barrage of attacks that will come his way tonight and in the end will remain victorious...

...Bernie will do exceedingly well, for this is a gauntlet he must run to become our next President...Bernie knows that....

...Bernie will hone these necessary skills to a razor edge in order to carve trump up in the Fall...

...if given a fair opportunity to respond tonight, Bernie will shine above the competition...the choice will be obvious...

...it's all good practice...

...and practice makes perfect...
