Really want to turn those red or purple state blue: Do like Nevada. Legalize pot.

How about legalizing pot and passing 10% tax on it and funding a public option health insurance with the proceeds?

Estimates were way low in how much the states that legalized it would raise from the taxes. Those states are flush with tax cash. Could this be the answer to funding health care insurance for where Medicaid was not expanded or in place of Medicaid expansion for the newly insured?

Did it occur to anyone that the mere request for voter rolls data is an act of voter suppression?

How many potential voters will now not register believing that their information will be shared with the alt-right and the most evil administration of our lifetime?

Someone please string together all those videos of Trump calling for and inciting violence for Sara

Huckabee Sanders to view. Then place a video of her lying ass at the end of the string. I don't have the talent for doing it or I would.

So Repubs don't you to sign up for gun registry to buy a gun but giving voter info to Trump is ok?

If folks can give this info for no reason, they can certainly give it to buy a gun.

So, has all this "unorthodox" trade negotiation by Trump bought us any better trade deals?

Just because Trump uses his thus negotiation skills with foreign leaders from China, S.Korea has it resulted in any real benefits for the US. Same question regarding Canada and Mexico. I haven't heard of any results. Did I miss it?

Joe, don't blame lacking infrastructure policy and action on Trump. The fault is AN OBSTUCTIONIST

CONGRESS that did everything in their power to thwart anything and everything President Obama tried to do start a jobs program focused on rebuilding our infrastructure. The GOP Congress along with their anti-Obama corporate pigs and bigoted business CEOs who refused to release the money they hoarded off-shore to finance the actions needed to start the ball rolling on jobs are to blame for America being behind China and Russia on rebuilding infrastructure.

This shit didn't just start with Trump. It started with Mitch McConnell and John Boehner and perpetuated with Ryan and others in GOP position of power!

i won't have it being ignored that the GOP is largely responsible for the shitstorm we are facing right now.
