Mon Jan 1, 2018, 07:32 PM

Jan 2018

Though there is a candidate in Fla. who's still waiting for him to show up as he promised in 2016. And of course, I have to wonder if we will ever see those tax returns as promised. Get back to me at this time in 2018 and we'll see if his big talk has been walked.

No, not everyone was there. SunSeeker Jan 2018 #100

Ridiculous. So you seem to think the TPP was a good thing or ... KPN Jan 2018 #104

No, saying you'll work with Trump, while millions are in the streets, is counterproductive. SunSeeker Jan 2018 #113

You are making stuff up when you say Bernie KPN Jan 2018 #121

He said it on Monday, 1/23/17, the main Women's March was on 1/21/17, but marchers were still out. SunSeeker Jan 2018 #135

You are showing your strong bias KPN Jan 2018 #155

I am not aware of any other "reasonable...progressive Congress-person or Senator" who said that. SunSeeker Jan 2018 #160

Nancy Pelosi has said the same thing KPN Jan 2018 #163

No, she didn't. Neither did Schumer. SunSeeker Jan 2018 #164

Okay, I'll acknowledge it. Why not ... KPN Jan 2018 #165

Hmm. Excellent point, thanks. As some here have already said (me included)... George II Jan 2018 #112

So sick of Sanders' vapid bluster. DavidDvorkin Jan 2018 #17

Please quote something he has spoken up for, or against, as "vapid bluster" LiberalLovinLug Jan 2018 #22

Names are important. They matter. You're either ALL IN or you're not. politicaljunkie41910 Jan 2018 #24

I get it LiberalLovinLug Jan 2018 #29

You presume that as Democrats we all agreed on the same issues during the campaign politicaljunkie41910 Jan 2018 #47

No you didn't, your post does NOT say "active", but you knew that. Tell us, on what do you base.... George II Jan 2018 #78

Okay.....just plain "politician" I only used that modifier to emphasize the difference. LiberalLovinLug Jan 2018 #142

When did Steve Bannon become an "active politician" or simply "politician"? And Rex Tillerson? George II Jan 2018 #146

"Credibly debunked" by you and a handful of other Bernie bashers. LiberalLovinLug Jan 2018 #154

"Small OP"? How do you rate an OP, i.e., "small", "medium", "large"? George II Jan 2018 #156

MY GAWD STOP LiberalLovinLug Jan 2018 #171

There are two polls that have found him to be "the most popular politician in America"... George II Jan 2018 #77

Both of those polls were jokes and do not prove anything Gothmog Jan 2018 #138

I consider dragging out his "Medicare for All" to be such. ehrnst Jan 2018 #169

So when does any politician ever bring it up? LiberalLovinLug Jan 2018 #170

Happy New Year to you as well! ehrnst Jan 2018 #174

I agree LiberalLovinLug Jan 2018 #177

Then how do nearly all the other developed nations do it, if single payer is the only way? ehrnst Jan 2018 #178

It's because of the divisive actions taken by him and his people at the Convention and after politicaljunkie41910 Jan 2018 #23

Just making factual observations KPN Jan 2018 #87

You're not making factual observations. You're making insulting assumptions. SunSeeker Jan 2018 #102

Are you really that easily insulted? KPN Jan 2018 #105

So you admit it's an insult. Good. We're making progress. nt SunSeeker Jan 2018 #109

Wrong. Exactly the point of my question. Your answer simply verifies. KPN Jan 2018 #111

Wrong, KPN. Telling someone they're silly and butthurt is an insult. SunSeeker Jan 2018 #114
