I'll stick with my tinfoil hat prediction of Michelle O entering late. Personally that's the last person I would want to see running against Trump. Only thing that would negate that possibility would be the MSM coming out with some of the crap Obama pulled while president.

It's a good possibility as none of the declared candidates stands out at this point...

A new Iowa Starting Line-Change Research poll shows the senator opening up a commanding lead in the Iowa Caucus. Warren was the top pick of 28% of likely Iowa Caucus-goers in the poll, an 11-point lead over the nearest competitor. Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders were both tied for second with 17% each. Pete Buttigieg came in fourth at 13% and Kamala Harris has the backing of 8%.

I don't suppose they gave those polled an option of "None of the Above".

I just read about Warren's projected cost of Medicare for All:

Two trillion + dollars per year!!

Current National budget is about $4.2 Trillion

How can she be taken seriously by anyone?

Did you catch the part where it won't cost the middle class anything and they'll likely pay less?

Oh, and all the private medial insurance workers can just move over to car and property insurance so they won't lose their jobs either.

Shit, every time my Mother In Law comes over she shows up with a 6 pack of good beer for me, and a bottle of chardonnay for my wife! I doubt Fauxahontas would ever show up with those!

2 trillion a year understates it. We're currently spending, last I looked, about 3.3 trillion a year on health care. Is shoving all of it under Medicare going to make it cheaper? I'm guessing not.

She’s a methmatician. Her budget analysis relative to Medicare for all is proof of that.

Yes indeed! You can keep your own doctor but he will not be aviailable as the governmental rates will be rock bottom. Better not get sick.

Man confronts Elizabeth Warren about her plan to wipe out student loans

While attending a “community conversation” in Grimes, Iowa, this past Monday, a man approached Elizabeth Warren to ask her a question about her student loan plan. He was irked by having debt redistributed and Warren was decidedly unsympathetic.

Warren wants to wipe out student debt – and she claims she can do it with a stroke of her pen via executive order:

[T]he Department of Education already has broad legal authority to cancel student debt, and we can’t afford to wait for Congress to act. So I will start to use existing laws on day one of my presidency to implement my student loan debt cancellation plan that offers relief to 42 million Americans -- in addition to using all available tools to address racial disparities in higher education, crack down on for-profit institutions, and eliminate predatory lending.

[snip]

Here’s how it will work:

I’ll direct the Secretary of Education to use their authority to begin to compromise and modify federal student loans consistent with my plan to cancel up to $50,000 in debt for 95% of student loan borrowers (about 42 million people).
I’ll also direct the Secretary of Education to use every existing authority available to rein in the for-profit college industry, crack down on predatory student lending, and combat the racial disparities in our higher education system.

The plan, of course, ignores the fact that students blithely take on debt despite getting majors in areas that will never result in jobs that enable them to pay off that debt. That is, she intends to reward them – or their families – for being completely irresponsible.

Lizzie is confronted by a father who worked double shifts to pay for his daughters education and wants to know if he gets his money back...



And it is that reward for irresponsibility that saw an irritated man approach Elizabeth Warren to complain about her proposal – and to get from her, in return, her dismissal of his concerns, a laugh, and a smirk.

The audio is a bit difficult to hear, but it appears that the man opens the conversation by saying, “My daughter is getting out of school. I’ve saved all my money. She doesn’t have student loans. Am I going to get my money back?”

Warren doesn’t even have the grace to praise him for being responsible. Instead, she responds instantly: “Of course not.”

The man, beginning to be upset, asks, “So you’re going to pay for people who didn’t save any money, and then those of us who did the right thing get screwed?”

And that’s when Warren’s tin-ear and lack of compassion kicks in. She smirks, she shrugs, and she says, “No, it’s not anyone got [sic] screwed….”

“Of course, we did,” says the man. “My buddy had fun, bought a car, went on vacation. I saved my money. He made more than I did, but I worked a double shift for the extra money for my daughter since she was 10. So you’re laughing at me.”

“I’m not,” says Warren.

The man knew what he had seen. “Yeah, that’s exactly what you’re doing. We did the right thing, and then we get screwed.”

As if she’d heard nothing he said, Warren reaches out to shake the man’s hand, saying as she does, “I appreciate it.”

He's having none of it. “Nah, that’s all right,” he says, waving off her proffered hand and walking away.

Not only is Elizabeth Warren a wannabe tyrant who intends to implement plan after plan to incrementally nationalize America’s wealth, she’s also a dumb bunny who, once she’s off-script, has little to say for herself and no compassion. Indeed, that lack of compassion hints that she’s a sister-under-the-skin to the woman who once called half of America “deplorables.”

"No Selfie"

(a comment I found online)

How absolutely maddening. These politicians are sickening. Of course the people that did the responsible thing are screwed, but aren't they always. The taxpayers will have to pick up the tab for all of these loans that Warren wants to "cancel", and this guys gets to do the "responsible" thing and help pay for all these cancelled loans on top of what he has already paid for. Of course Warren is trying to buy votes and is pandering to to these people without regard for who pays for them. Typical Socialist. What will happen if Warren is elected and this scenario plays out? Will people really go along with this en masse or will this be one of the straws that breaks the camel's back and sends us into a civil war? I'm betting on the latter.

I for one would be extremely pissed in regard to loan forgiveness. I paid off mine and we're still working to pay off my wife's loans (almost there).

Yes, student loans are oppressive and out of control, this is true if you went to school for a bullshit major or pharmacy.

Forgiving loans is absolutely unfair to responsible people who've paid theirs off. This shit is right up there with reparations.

^^^^^^^^^^^^
I agree. We have enough socialism already with various governmental programs.

I though it was illegal to buy votes?

If she forgave all student loans- What would happen to the program going forward? No one would expect to ever pay it back.

IMHO; Democrats in general are delusional, wet dreamers gullible morons that don't have a clue about reality. They live on emotions no matter how irrational the emotions may be. Democrats will lie, cheat and steal to create a situation to meet their narratives. Democrats do not care about the country, society or the people they supposedly represent. Democrats are a cancer to the USA, the people and everything they touch turns to SH*T quickly! Democrats in charge will do two things; collapse America and cause a second civil war. All one has to do is look at any democrat run state, county or city and all you see is despair, destruction, poverty, crime, chaos, corruption and a sub society on the verge of collapse. Democrats = CANCER!
PS: I don't give a rats ass if any of you closet democrats are offended by this post. You are part of the problem!

The media is making a big deal about Iowa but it has very little to do with who will win the nomination.
Right now it’s hard to see how any of their declared candidates can do much in the general election.

Of all the Democratic candidates, I think she would be the easiest to beat. I think that Trump would absolutely destroy her. I hope she gets the nomination. A tiny sample of her shit: My kid went to a public school - LIE. There is a war on transgendered people. They are being murdered all over the country. I will read the names of the victims from the White House rose garden - LIE - their rate of crime victimization is less than the general population. (Can you imagine Trump saying that he will read the names of murdered cops instead). Then there is Medicare for all. Her latest - I will guarantee that 50% of my cabinet will be women. Trumps response - I will guarantee that my cabinet will be the most qualified and competent people that I can find. I really do hope that she wins the nomination.

To add to this: All Democrats care about is having power, at the expense of anyone they have to step on to get it.
