Everything For Everyone

I'm concerned that the trillions of $ many of the Dem candidates are making cornerstones of their campaigns is gonna backfire on whichever candidate emerges as nominee. Forget the socialism tag it's just the overwhelming numbers that are being floated that will remain in the minds of tRUMP fence sitters, and even a lot of Dems. I know a number of Repubs who regret voting for tRUMP, were openly speaking of voting for a Dem but lately have been voicing major concern about these Trillions of $ being floated for "free this or that" and various programs from climate to reparations. Am I alone in this thinking?

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

When i see plans that cost more per year than our current total annual budget, i get worried too. Because NO CURRENT CANDIDATE has a plan that would actually raise NEARLY the amounts needed for these plans.
Trump is the debt candidate. Dont give him the pass by proposing even bigger debt than his dumb ass will accrue.
I'm surprised your title isnt flagged as "RW talking point". Too many people who cant handle a civil debate.

The biggest empty promise of all is Medicare for All. How about going after Trump more often and harder? Hit him all the time. There can't be free everything for everybody.

who are not among the top five offer more reasonable plans.

This is why I am glad - above thread - the Ryan and Delaney are staying.
