Re: 2016 Election
Seems like Hillary is going full Republican in her attacks against Bernie's healthcare proposals. Sounds like she's starting to worry.

I guess she's only a progressive when it suits her needs.

Re: 2016 Election
Particularly so for some very large union brokered plans. This is not a dig at unions, they are just looking out for their own. Some of the plans I've seen are very very cheap and when your whole family has been in union jobs for years you can be very unaware of what it is like for others.
I recall talking to a friend way back when I lived in NYC. The MTA subway drivers were threatening to strike, some of their demands were outrageous in terms of healthcare etc. The friend worked for the NY public library system and her husband worked on broadway, both heavy union jobs. They were utterly shocked to hear how much my group insurance cost, thought I was making it up.

Trump has paid-off and gotten court ordered silence from anybody who could possibly expose him. I'm sure Marla Maples has plenty to tell, but it would cut into her alimony if she ran her mouth.

Re: 2016 Election
Unions were amongst the biggest defenders of health insurance tied to employment when the ACA was first under discussion. This was one of the reasons why single-payer was a non-starter politically. It's going to be interesting to see how much traction Sanders gets from unions given he's pushing single-payer "Medicare for all".

Other than the fact that apparently everyone who has ever had to work with him hates his guts:

Re: 2016 Election
Cruz is a weasel with a stupid looking face and Trump's face aside from the bad hairdo even worse.
Imagine photos of either of them hanging in US embassies all over the world. Just looking at them alone should make 9 out of 10 applicants for visas change their minds

Trump is to the Repubs as Bernie is to the Dems, both a reflection of machine politics.

Phil endorses Mr Cruz because he is godly and will go duck hunting.

It amuses me that the article is on the aptly named Yahoo News.

Re: 2016 Election
Here we go another debate.
Ted Cruz: Talk about circular logic justifying gun boat diplomacy, if Americans go in to other peoples lands, and they object, we are right to invade.
Not till #6 and #7 that there is even any same person here. Bush and Kasich. Forgot about Christie, he is not insane either.
