Election 2020

[Judge Jude]

maybe, but I did not see that vibe even a little bit in this interview.

I'd be interested in having you dig up the interview (it's the entire second half of the show) to see if it changes your wife's mind at all.

Her opinion was formed during the Kavanaugh case. It isn't about how she shows most if the time, but how most men might recoil from how she can get aggressive. IDK myself. All I know is I doubt she would have acted demure in HRCs position during that debate where Trump stalked way too close behind her. I think she would have told him to back off, and maybe that personality is actually more appealing to many, especially against Trump.

[Judge Jude]

I didn't see all of Harris v Kavanaugh, but I was very impressed with Harris in the parts I saw.

And I say this as I wonder if we are yet far removed enough from the proceedings to wonder how in holy hell her colleagues were asking him about his high school/college farting and drinking game lingo.

Hillary's NY Senate landslide was clinched when her dopey opponent Lazio walked across the room and into her space during a debate. it was quite creepy and turned a win into something even more.

Dayum, Senator Bennet called OUT 1jay's 2020 presidential pick Ted Cruz.

[Judge Jude]

yeah, I saw that

my favorite comment after seeing that video on twitter was someone who commented "I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. And his hair was perfect."

One of the most soft spoken, mild mannered voices of the body, Sen Bennet went nuclear. Some snippet was shown but it was a more than 20 minute raining down, with most of it directed at Cruz. Bennet was referring to the 16-day shutdown in 2013 that Cruz was credited with starting after he fought Democratic efforts to reduce Obamacare funding. And this is a man who would love to smack the smirk off Cruz and is not just a playing to cameras.
Govt now shut down over a medieval wall, a promise Trump made, that Mexico would pay for, but more to the point, Trump was goaded by Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh and chose madness and gibberish and didnt want to sign the bipartisan 100-0 continuing resolution.

that's the one Q that I haven't heard her handle smoothly so far.

Yeah - I saw one interview and it became clear "eliminate private health insurance" was an attempt to rebrand "single payer/Medicare for all". Again, not sure how that is going to fly. I have to think that there are some HUGE donors, er um I mean lobbyists for the Healthcare/Insurance industry that may have an issue with this.

How about union folks that have collectively bargained for good health care plans at the expense of pay? Think they are going to be happy to give up their private health insurance?

I would - insurance is a big cost for a lot of companies- if they didn’t have to mess with that then they could / should be able to pay better wages. I know where I work we always say we get paid more the our hourly wage we added the insurance on our pay.

Absolutely. When I was the COO/CFO for my local school district, it was exasperating how much health insurance bit out of our overall budget apple for public education and how it ultimately depressed wages and exacerbated management-labor strife. If health insurance were single payer and taken out of the management-labor scope of issues, I suspect everyone would be happier and more generous at the bargaining table.

Lol, we’ll see.
You going to find jobs for the 500,000 private health insurance workers you just put out of business?
