just looked at Cory Booker's Twitter IcyPeas Jul 2019 #61
Oh my god. They're shouting Booker down. This is disgusting. nolabear Jul 2019 #32

we can do better jcgoldie Jul 2019 #105
Better? Like waiting another 20-40 years for something that could get passed? ehrnst Jul 2019 #152
I remember that the "we can do better" argument was made in 1993-1994 lapucelle Jul 2019 #157
Making "better" the enemy of "getting actual care to more people now, not years from now" ehrnst Jul 2019 #158
Yup. We let the perfect become the enemy of the good, and we ended up with nothing. SunSeeker Jul 2019 #159
It is continuing a terrific program Obama started which Trump blocked. Under Biden, it can be emmaverybo Jul 2019 #78
Sorry, but it's NOT a terrific plan. Having paid $900 per month for just myself I should know. Goodheart Jul 2019 #90
Costs must come down. The coverage is good. Premiums can be brought down. The income emmaverybo Jul 2019 #155

She got high pitched for a second or two. customerserviceguy Jul 2019 #95
Wow why does Harris have the knives out for Biden? She's almost coming across as angry -- gateley Jul 2019 #79
I expected that, didn't you? I'm sure Joe did. n/t customerserviceguy Jul 2019 #83
She is showing a kind of unseemly hostility. NT emmaverybo Jul 2019 #84
... MFGsunny Jul 2019 #108
I like the anger when focused on the right person-- trump. nt ecstatic Jul 2019 #96
OK. Booker is doing good so far. Taking the high road. nt ecstatic Jul 2019 #82

Joe grew up with a debilitating stammer that he overcame by reciting poetry while gateley Jul 2019 #112
omg I didn't know this. thanks IcyPeas Jul 2019 #114
Me either, he seems to have done a remarkable job conquering it. n/t customerserviceguy Jul 2019 #118
I think this is different, though -- like he's trying to think of a bunch of things at once and gateley Jul 2019 #124
it is an interesting tidbit about him IcyPeas Jul 2019 #139
That sudden shutting up when times up is odd, Joe. nolabear Jul 2019 #106
It's a contrast with Harris customerserviceguy Jul 2019 #113
