    Here in America's Hermit State of California they have an open primary.

    I'm a registered Republican but the Democrats say that it doesn't matter.

    I just might vote for Tulsi in March during the California primary.

    If Democrats can do it, so can I.

    Yes, as a Californian who supports, CalExit.
    The open primary although very "positive" sounding
    denies Political Parties the opportunity to put forward
    their "choice" candidate to compete against the others.
    Political Parties should be able to maintain the purity of their primary.
    Then we witness a choice on the ballot.
    Too many times California ballots, courtesy of the Open Primary look
    like some sovietsky / russky elections.


    Si?

    I don't have a problem with anyone making money either, except Bernie made millions from his positions in Government. That's what I have a problem with.

    lol@failed. You are concerned with how other countries feel about us?

    ETA: If our healthcare is so atrocious then why are people coming here from all over the world for procedures?

    Indeed, I realize we exist in a global marketplace — it has what has made the US so powerful.

    It was also a trump presidential campaign lie, but we can ignore that because — well — he’s a liar.

    Why was our standing so important when Obama was president but now it’s suddenly not?

    edit: pathetic dodge btw

    She qualified for this upcoming debate, but not the last one.

    Not trying to sow discord, just trying to point out that there is actual diversity of ideas in the Democrat party-and it gets stifled.

    Romney's Trump bashing virtue signaling is a clear example of why he is a cuck.

    Is that tacit admission that our Capitalist system is superior when compared to other forms of government?

    What campaign lie?

    And what standing during Obama?

    If it were a dodge than it may be pathetic, but I didn't dodge anything.

    It works great in some areas — where there is choice and competition. Not so well when there isn’t.

    I wasn’t aware that Obama was openly laughed at and mocked on the international stage by our allies, might have missed it.

    Neither party but instead the people, ranked choice voting and removing political party from ballots would be a great starting point.

    You said everything was working just fine, I showed where it wasn’t, you dodged every point.

    If Gabbard boycotts the debates, I'm not sure that anyone would notice.

    I see your point! I generally never pay attention to a Democrat but she gets my attention every time. There might be a clue there to why the Democratic party go deaf when this Lady speaks!

    Not sure how boycotting the debate is going to help her much.

    Capitalism promotes choice and competition. Other forms of government do not.

    Trump has been wrong before and what I love about him is he not only says what's on his mind he also listens to council. His views on several matters have been corrected and I love him for that.

    And Obama was routinely laughed at and mocked by the entire world. But I didnt like him before anyone else was laughing at Obama. You choose what you see.

    China made Obama get off the back of air force one....

    Leader of the world’s largest economy disembarks from Air Force One through a little-used exit in the plane’s belly after no rolling staircase was provided when he landed in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou for the G20. The incident is being interpreted as a calculated snub from Beijing.

    You stated opinion, those things you bemoan as failures, like opting out of the Paris Accord, I champion as great and hallowed victories.

    Just because you say something dumb doesn't mean I'm obligated to respond to it directly.

    Can you link to a couple of these superior polls? I'm curious now.
