    ours is the best by far, doesn't mean I support the bad and do not think we could be better

    I suppose you support the gangs, murder and violence or o you think we could do better?

    we have always had much immigration, do you support that?

    point is, you do not have to agree with everything this country does, Trump sure doesn't, he has broken America's word many times sense taking office

    Of course we can do better, not electing democrats would be a start. That gang violence is largely in democrat inner cities.

    We haven't always had much immigration. At times we did, at others we did not. It depends on what suits the US. And I certainly don't support illegal immigration.

    No but he had a foreign first name and easy to misprounce while growing up in American so adopted an American name, while Robert Francis has an easily pronounced name and he too could have been called Bobby but decided to adopt a foreign name. Does the difference escape you?

    Robert O'Rourke is just a fad. He's not intellectually deep.

    The principles of economics are like the laws of gravity; they don't care what color you are.

    There is nothing racist about capitalism.

    Okay to give yourself a nickname if you have a name the majority of the country doesn't understand. I call that fitting in and not cultural appropriation.

    On the other hand much more skeptical of Beto since it is obviously not needed for Americans/Texans to understand his name better. I am skeptical that he would be using that nickname if the amount of Hispanics in the USA was extremely low.

    Bobby Jindal would have probably stuck with his original name if their was a massive amount of Indian Americans in the USA but that is understandable since under those circumstances more Americans would be used to hearing Indian sounding names.

    Bush and the Republicans didn't raise it anywhere near what the Democrats raised it what are you talking about?
    We could do a lot better if we got rid of the free spending Democrats and RINO's and put more fiscal conservatives back in.
    Which Democrat presidential candidates aren promoting less spending and cutting deficits?

    we should be solving for actual economic phenomena; capitalism's natural rate of unemployment can solved for easily with existing infrastructure via unemployment compensation in our at-will employment States.

    When this cat claimed he wanted to defeat climate change, he lost any credibility as a honest intellect. Just another confidence man relying upon the low IQ voters in his pursuit of power.

    you must be kidding, sense Bush the debt has rose about 1 trillion a year, Bush set that in motion with his 2 10+ year wars and his tax cuts for the rich

    nothing the dems have passed sense then have cost that much, the Affordable Care act was the biggest things dems passed and it hardly increased the growth of the debt

    I know, just think, the dirtiest campaign in modern history was probably Hillary v Barrack, this primary season will be just like that. Liberals like to eat their own. I can't wait, whoever wins will still be a joke...
