Stay Tuned we will be right back.
Commercial Break in Progress.

MSNBC seems to have a bit of trouble with timing.

Why? They spoke the least.

And they are both the only ones who come close to any form of rationality on the dim's side.

Not his forehead, but face and hands.
His blood pressure must be sky rocketing when he speaks.

On our set, from his eyes down go purple as do his hands. Alien maybe?

Yep, he's turning purple. I was actually wondering for a second if he was going to have a stroke in his closing statement.

Tucker was wound up tonight.

For anyone not familiar with Andrew Yang do some Googling. He's an interesting guy with some interesting, and not real Democrat style, policy proposals. He doesn't have a snowball's chance with the morons voting Dem, but he does make sense on some levels where the others border on insanity.

Yang’s big plan:
What is Universal Basic Income (UBI)?

Yang’s version of UBI, or what his campaign calls a “Freedom Dividend,” is that every American citizen above the age of 18 should get $1,000 per month, no questions asked.

No explanation of course of how you would pay for this. If you did this it sounds like hyper inflation such as Zimbabwe or Weimar Germany. This being the case you should print the money on toilet paper so that it would good for something.

He and everyone in his staff clearly don't understand economics.
HOWEVER: all his fellow dims want to tax the shit out of us and spend it the way they want. At least Yang wants you to spend it the way you want. HAHAHAHAH.

Interestingly enough, Robert Anson Heinlein in his book "Beyond This Horizon" actually postulated an economy based on a stipend being paid automatically to each household, based on the growth of the economy. (RAH was thought by many to be a Conservative, but he was much more a Libertarian.)

Let me see if I can summarize both debates

<insert candidate name> "Trump is a liar and evil. I promise to give you everything you want for free! We'll tax those rich bastards to do it"

It occurs to me none of these people are leaders. They are a chaos of pigeons chasing the same morsel of bread tossed on the ground at their twiggy feet.

They are trying to out-commie each other....

That's what I heard.

My take of the night, I actually made it through the entire thing:

Kamala Harris: actually looked like the front runner here and generally managed not to come across as an angry bitch. Her comments about forcing Congress to “do something” about guns in 100 days or else she will do it via executive order shows how crazy and out of touch she really is though. Lady, you’re not dismantling our Constitutional rights via executive order!

Comrade Bernie: came across as an angry old man waving his arms and wagging his finger all night. He’s done

Joe Biden: low energy, he doesn’t have it in him to do this. Was spouting off nonsensical talking points all night. He’s done too.

Mayor Pete Giggity Giggity: came across to me as extremely slick and rehearsed. A used car salesman. This guy has a weird beef with Christianity and had to remind us he’s got a hubby.

I think this will come down to Kamala The Mattress Harris and Pocahontas Warren.

Overall there’s not a single one that is going to be able to beat Donald Trump next year.

I wonder if his ambition is not to die until he becomes President? In his mind I suspect he sees himself being buried in an American version of Lenin's Tomb. There he ca become a tourist attraction like Lenin, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, The first two Kims in North Korea, and "briefly" Stalin. I wonder if the Russians would be willing to put him in the Kremlin Wall? I would suggest the county landfill.

Underestimating ones enemy is a mistake. H.C. was saying the same <opposite> thing and lost to DJT. It'll all come down to organization and mobilization. Another 50/50 vote.

And with luck, the morning after, a bunch of people will be saying to their spouses a similar thing they said in 2016, "Really, he won? And I thought the Anti-Gun Race-Baiter was a shoo-in".

Definitely worth watching!!

Was Beto O'Rourke "I give myself an A" trying to "Trump" Julián Castro? No one can do it like The Man himself.

Wow, strike all the candidates whose name starts with a "B", for starters. That'll halve the field.

President Yang

President Yang


No, sorry, it just doesn't sang err sing

I was able to get thru maybe half of it last night, that was it. Biden looked lost, I think his days are numbered, we will see. Bernie yells and waves his hands and talks nonsense but it must be effective. His followers are pretty well organized so his backers have some deep pockets. Wonder who they are? I just don't see him making it to the finish line.

Harris and Warren will be the two left standing is my guess as well.
