What a stupid thing to assert.

You can’t believe your lying eyes on the economy lol?

Or do you have some partisan delusions you want to share with the group?

I hear he got a standing ovation at Fox, really pissed off the president. Good, fuck him.

And that looks like Crazy Joe at the moment. But he would still be a weak candidate, imo. Just a bigger threat relative the rest of the bunch. And as you alluded to, it’s questionable whether the hard lefties would turn out for him.

I think the hard lefties never thought the dumbshit could win and they didn't like Hillary so they didn't vote. Now that they realize what a shithead we got for president they will vote for whoever is running against him.

Trump wasn’t even a politician, but, he was making good arguments about China and foreign policy for years before 2016—it’s just that no one took him seriously as a candidate. Including yours truly. Also, as a businessman Trump understood the economy in ways the economic think tank ‘gurus’ don’t.

The results were predictable as far as I’m concerned. Pete’s experience pales by comparison. I think he would be a disaster as president.

I don't think he stands a chance either but i'm sure he would do better than Trump.

That's why he doesn't want to show his tax returns, he has been showing nothing but loses and not paying taxes for years. Forbes doesn't have his tax returns either.

Remember when the board lefties thought "Beto" was their new messiah?

LOL! What specific policy of his is responsible for that, and how?

He doesn't understand trade, that tariffs are taxes, what the Fed does, etc.

Duh.

you can only soak them one time -
you guys wanna soak the rich and soak and re-soak till there is nothing left to soak anymore.

But the new spending will require more revenue, so you'll soak the middle class into poverty

You have zero concepts of limits
