And Pete “we are this close to a ban?” Seriously?

Biden needs to step down.

If you can’t bother to be minimally informed, stop talking.

It's a fine theory, except that he did worse in 2012 than in 2008.

I have google too.

Do I need to explain why this doesn’t refute my assertion?

Objection: Relevance.

Don’t offer the retort it makes a fine doorstop, or you can wallpaper a walk in closet with it.

Beto’s a clown. He makes Trump appear intelligent.

I didn’t watch, but Warren and Pete have more brains than the rest combined. He’s too normal and moderate and green to get elected. She’s too serious about real change.

WTF are Biden’s people doing putting Hunter our for an interview? He admitted Burisma’s offer to him was sketchy. Now the media has to walk back the “nothing to see there” story on him.

2, and he is so internally inconsistent (except when viewed through the lens of his business interests and which strongman he likes), e.g. saying he is withdrawing the troops from Syria b/c he wants the U.S. out of the Middle East, while increasing our presence in Saudi Arabia.

As I mentioned earlier, I care. So I will actually offer some constructive criticism. Here is what I imagine when I see the words you wrote above. I imagine that I have accidentally stumbled across the Instagram page for a failed salesmen who is trying to re-cast himself as a motivational speaker. Under his screen name, where his bio info should be, is the following: "Student ~ Teacher ~ Speaker ~ Listener - Thinker." His latest post is a posed picture of the guy, whose name is Ryan, standing on stage with a wrap-around microphone on, pretending to speak to an audience. Behind him is a screen on which is displayed an oversize image of the wannabe-motivational speaker as he appears at that moment on stage, and this creates a kind of hall-of-mirrors, infinite douchebag effect. His loud checked shirt is open one too many buttons. And while he thinks his comically disheveled hair and two-day beard create the image of a man who is too hard at work to worry about appearances, they actually just betray his all-consuming cocaine addiction. His eyes are sunken and dull, and his smile is hollow. At the bottom of the post, superimposed over the picture, are the following words, in all-caps bold Helvetica: "Stupid and smart are measured in results. Nothing else counts."

Do better.

Damn. You paint exactly the image I had, except that I imagined his shirt open two too many buttons and you could see that he hadn't been able to get the yolk-and-grease stain off the shirt from the breakfast he ate at a dive three blocks from the hotel because the hotel breakfast was too expensive.

This whole make-them-pay-for-our-military-or-at-least-bribe-me thing is like a bad 80s sci-fi where the world is run by mercenary olligarchs. Can someone float the idea of hiring immigrant soldiers rather than putting them in tents and then profiting off selling their services to Saudi Arabia? At least that would lighten up things at the border, especially if we start using child soldiers.

I'm not sure why you think Obama's opposition helped him, except for the fact that you love being a contrarian, but your assertions aren't helping.

He doesn't always explain himself very well, but I don't think he would have sent the troops to Saudi Arabia if he thought there'd be combat.

You guys are harsh.
