It's interesting to see. When the TEA Party really sprouted, you had this split that killed the party for years. TEA party candidates actually started getting elected and just had absolutely no bend.

I see the exact same thing happening that is dividing the Biden types of the party with the AOCs. I'm curious to see how it plays out.

the tldr of his bill is the following:

- all primary private health insurances will be driven out of business, everyone who currently has a plan that he/she likes will be forced to give it up in favor of the state-run single-payer system.
- the HHS department and its secretary decide virtually everything, which treatments and procedures to cover, who qualifies for what, how much nurses and doctors are paid, and so on.


Oh, your objective, unbiased summary.

Noted billionaire bond investor Jeffrey Gundlach, who accurately predicted Donald Trump’s presidency at the Sohn Conference May 2016, slammed virtually the entire field of Democratic primary contenders at the same conference on Monday.

“Even as the Democratic Party has descended into vilifying success and even rags-to-riches hard-earned wealth unbeknownst to most people, there are no fewer than a dozen Democratic hopefuls who want to hide the fact they are one-percenters themselves,” Gundlach said.

Next, Gundlach shared a photo of former Texas Congressman and Democratic presidential contender Beto O'Rourke.
“Then you got this snowflake posing with a skateboard in front of a bounce house. How perfect is that? Other than he’s 46 years old,” Gundlach told the audience.
“Actually, that’s too old to be a snowflake. If he were to win the White House, they would be mailing his AARP card to the Oval Office during his first term,” he added.

He called Warren a “tornado of anger and insincerity” who comes up with “one crazy giveaway and soak the rich scheme.”
Gundlach asked: “I mean who wants four years of this? Who wants even four hours of this? It's like being trapped with the mother in law from hell. I say short Elizabeth Warren.”


guy also slammed Yang so he's kinda off-the-mark there, but his fury on many of the (D) candidates being rich, privileged elite and sounding off on Robert Franics O'Rourke (D) and Elizabeth Warren (D) were hilarious

Beto conveniently married a girl whose family has a networth upward of $500million. And then he gives his stump speech where he links his own privilege predominantly with being white and a male. :rofl:

On Monday, the mayor tried to hold a stunt news conference at Trump Tower. Ostensibly, it was to tout a new city bill that would fine building owners, like our president, if they ran afoul of new greenhouse gas emissions standards. But really, it was to hold a proto-campaign rally on Trump’s turf.

De Blasio couldn’t handle even that. A handful of protesters dominated the proceedings (“Worst Mayor Ever” read one of their signs), and the management pumped loud music, including “Rags to Riches” by Tony Bennett, into the lobby. The mayor had to shout above the din.

De Blasio says in his newly released campaign video that he’ll take on Donald Trump. At the moment, he can’t so much as take on the president's P.A. system. He isn’t even a competent troll.

Another punching bag enters the ring. Warren Wilhelm Jr. is quite a laughingstock. How did NYC go from Mayors like Rudy and Bloomberg to this fella (who changed his name to Billy De Blasio for election purposes)
