Larry Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 (edited) I could see a thread about the Dems. Lord knows there's enough about Trump. (Which is understandable, since Trump and the R's are the ones who are going to be actually, you know, doing things worth talking about. At least for a while.) It's the off season, and we haven't had the draft, yet. Maybe call it the "Mr. Irrelevant" thread? Edited February 25, 2017 by Larry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogofWar1 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 They should form a Triumvirate. But no big war over control of Rome this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny21 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Think this article was posted somewhere, but the compensation part of this excerpt struck me as pretty ridiculous, especially from a Tea Partier. Maybe I'm looking at it wrong... Scott said Sunday that he used the lunch to press for principles he has pushed publicly, such as financial compensation for states that did not expand Medicaid under the ACA and the importance of providing competition and cutting required benefits to allow people to “buy insurance that fits them.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/a-divided-white-house-still-offers-little-guidance-on-replacing-obamacare/2017/02/26/3981bb8c-fb8c-11e6-be05-1a3817ac21a5_story.html?utm_term=.2f4de7271713 I hate to say it, but I'm glad Trump listened to Kasich, though he still seems brazenly clueless about the subject.

Captain Wiggles Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Rugs are Oriental. People are Asian. Joe Manchin is full of it. Of course he cares about being elected. His track record going back well over twenty years proves it. The politico article mentions a number of such instances. Though I do love the fact he's talking on his phone in front of a portrait of himself. Classi... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm quoting Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) on MoJoe: "I would much sooner get health care reform right than get it fast." (Yes, take a couple seconds to read it again. Now shake your head really hard, side to side, and read it again.) Anybody feel good about how Republicans are attempting to get their points across to the American public? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the only Democrat that could get elected in that state. You tolerate him breaking with the party on 10% of issues so he can stay in office. If the Democrats want to move left in the Senate, then do so in safe states like California and New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta agree here. Not a fan of feeling forced to toe the party line when you have to deal with constituents that have different views in various parts of the country. Although I disagree with Manchin in some areas, the centrist, open minded stance is something that's becoming rarer and rarer in today's politics. Think about how you (general "you") feel as a liberal about Graham and McCain and then consider that Republican voters probably feel similarly about Manchin. Don't like a lot of their policies (maybe any, lol), but I know they're generally decent people that I can have some respect for.

@DCGoldPants Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Wish I believe Kasich was right. I used to think the same way. People like to say they are independent. If they really were, I think we'd see a lot more non-two party people running and getting elected on at least the local level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
