Yeah, put the guy on the ticket because he's brown! BlueStater Oct 2015 #37

Why do you think he is not qualified riversedge Oct 2015 #47

Mayor and HUD Secretary? Really? BlueStater Oct 2015 #50

Go get a map. Look where San Antonio is located. Then look up the population of the city. MADem Oct 2015 #68

Good lord, what an obnoxiously condescending, smug post. BlueStater Oct 2015 #72

Yes, because FACTS are SMUG. MADem Oct 2015 #79

I didn't see any "facts" in your gasbag of a post. BlueStater Oct 2015 #80

Gee, whiz--you didn't see any FACTS? You didn't look very hard, did you? MADem Oct 2015 #82

Let's see here. BlueStater Oct 2015 #84

Yeah, let's see, indeed--you were the one who opened the volley with a racist comment. MADem Oct 2015 #86

His skin color is the only reason he's being considered. BlueStater Oct 2015 #87

You want a qualified Hispanic man on a national ticket? BlueStater Oct 2015 #138

Wrong again. Sanders was a Congressman for 16 years. He's only been in the Senate since 2006 brush Oct 2015 #139

Last time I checked, the Senate WAS Congress. BlueStater Oct 2015 #141

Be clear then, your post implied that he had been a sitting senator for 24 years. brush Oct 2015 #147

Or maybe you just misunderstood it? BlueStater Oct 2015 #163

And you call that being clear? brush Oct 2015 #167

That's right. He isn't. BlueStater Oct 2015 #65

Nothing to say here? BlueStater Oct 2015 #81

He's been in the cabinet since then--hello? MADem Oct 2015 #91

HUD Sercretary for 14 months? BlueStater Oct 2015 #93

To go from a budget of 2.5 billion to a budget of 46 Billion is significant. MADem Oct 2015 #96

You need to back off on this argument. You're clearly losing and starting to sound racist brush Oct 2015 #131

Um, how about "no"? BlueStater Oct 2015 #133
