We absolutely pillored people on the right for not giving us details on programs

We knew that trying to run a war on the credit card was going to bankrupt us... Giving a life time tax cut to the wealthy (with a 10 year pittance to the rest of us) was going to run us into the trillions in National debt..

Democrats have stood for good programs and ways to pay for them.

We are a fiscally sound party.

Sen Sanders is using the republican play book of not being honest about the costs of his programs

Where is the outrage??

We as a party have been railing against the soft talk of Trump for dictators.. and yet when the same is brought up about things Sen Sanders has said about autocrats (google is your friend)

Where is the outrage??

I will tell you where we got outrage... How many days was spent on outrage about the nickname Corn Pop of one of Joe Bidens friends from his youth

We got outrage over Mayor Pete, outrage over Amy Klobuchar, outrage over Elizabeth Warren..

3. Honestly, at this point, I don't care who is nominated. I just want Trump out.

We need to get the Senate back and hold the house. The judiciary is more important than many programs.

9. I know. I am not a big fan of Bernie and have been going between Joe, Pete and Elizabeth Warren.

My primary is not until April, so I have some time to decide. My guess is Pete and Elizabeth Warren will have dropped out by then and I will go with Joe.

Regardless of who wins the nomination, I will go with it. I am sick of all the bashing of the candidates.

Presidents have doubled the national debt while in office. Then I ask if they can name them. I never have met a republican who can.

...NONE of the plans get passed without extensive reworking through Congress. So the "plans" are just ideas for starting points. Some will happen, some won't, all will change as they are wiorked on, some more than others. So maybe rough outlines are really all we need. Each new detail is more likely to lose a vote than gain one.
