need to be called out over their blatant bias toward rump and their ratings-driven model of news coverage.

Just like they pounded away, repeating his messaging and “kind of catapulting the propaganda” as dubya would say.

Lots of free water-carrying the media did for trump last time around. Not just CNN. They ALL did. Treated him as a kind of curio. Something to be laughed at.

And who’s laughing now?

better known as the Iraq War. Seems whenever it comes to breaking things and killing people, no price is to high. Actually improving the lives of most Americans? That's just tooooooo expensive.

It astonishes me that she is willing to put out rediculous cost estimate based on unrealistic assumptions, all because she is unwilling to admit that this plan will need increased taxes on the middle class to pay for it.

for it, and why it's worth the money. Getting angry about being asked for that information, or making snarky replies, is a sign that the person isn't prepared to do one or both of those things.

She cant pay for her plans. Her explanations are about as realistic as saying Mexico will pay for it.
