I would like to hear the same question asked of the Republican candidates?

"What 3 initiatives would you present in your first 100 days in office?"

That sounded like a very pertinent and important question to me.

Of course, Repubs would respond in the negative. They would want to destroy "Obamacare". They would repeal the Iran deal, and protect our greatest ally, Israel. They would carpetbomb the shit out of ISIS...etc...etc..

But they would offer nothing for the people. That's what they do.

for everything. Bomb ISIS. Boots on the ground. End Obamacare. Build a wall. On an on an on. It's an exercise in futility.

Never direct aid to those in need. Tax breaks for the rich. Loosen regulations. School choice. Etc. And then somewhere down the line, after the lobbyist and their clients have gotten a direct pay outs from the government in the millions this will somehow, someway, help the poor sap that actually needs relief. Maybe. Sorta. Years from now. Just wait for it.
