Medical costs haven't changed in any meaningful way and continue to be the big elephant in the room. Insurance premiums have supposedly slowed which is good until you realize the OOP maximums have shot up along with copays/coinsurance etc. You're right to be against Obamacare.
Do you have a link or any research whatsoever to back up this claim? I'm under the impression that total costs (premiums + deductibles + copays + etc.) have soared for the middle class.
She's old and confused. Was she wearing her Harry Caray glasses when she made that comment?
They're all over the Internet. Here's one from last year:
http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2016/03/02/why-my-health-insurance-going-again
My health insurance (PPO with United Healthcare) went up almost 40% for 2016. And I work for a major US firm/corporation that subsidizes at least 50% of it.
I did! He lost. We move on.
We need to keep this thread focused on the important issues, like who's alias account belongs to who, and who voted for Romney last time around and left the board in disgrace.
I hope this carries over to the general. Nothing is written in stone yet, but it is encouraging.
The only thing is, Ministry of Pain has lots of black friends in South Beach, and they're all voting for Trump.
It is, very much so. Democratic midterm disasters in recent years - giving us your friendly neighborhood do-absolutely-nothing GOP Congress - seem to have been the result of decreased African-American turnout, at least in part. I didn't think this would be too much of a problem in 2016, but it's nice to see the evidence to the contrary thus far. Long way to November, of course.
You think they are energized now, wait until after Trump is named the nominee and attack ads are run with him saying about the Ku Klux Klan:
Also, as I've pointed out previously, wait until the Central Park 5 hit the campaign trail and talk about how Trump took out a full page ad calling for their execution without due process even though it turned out they were innocent. And then, just a year or so ago, criticized them publicly again when they received a settlement for their lengthy wrongful imprisonment, calling them "no angels." One of them is Hispanic by the way, can't imagine that will help Trump win those voters back either.
Brush this under the rug, doesn't fit the narrative the left and the media (same thing right?) want to run with.
I think Byrd works for Strom Thurmand comps, not Duke.
Yeah, not so much, it turns out. But it cheers me that someone would attempt to rebut the David Duke mess into which Trump recklessly stepped with allegations of Clinton's relationship with (gasp!) Robert Byrd. In fact, I think GOPers should run with that precise line of attack/defense from now until November.
Don't you think we would have heard about this already if it were going to harm Trump...Why wait until Trump wins the GOP nomination...Doesn't make sense.
The judge in NY state court just shot down Trump's motion to dismiss. He could be deposed.
"Brief"????
In 1946, Byrd wrote a letter to a Grand Wizard stating, "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation."[21] However, when running for the United States House of Representatives in 1952, he announced "After about a year, I became disinterested, quit paying my dues, and dropped my membership in the organization. During the nine years that have followed, I have never been interested in the Klan." He said he had joined the Klan because he felt it offered excitement and was anti-communist.[13]
Hypothetically, if Duke came out and apologized for his association with the clan, would it be OK for Hilary to praise him publicly as a mentor? Just wondering where we draw the line.
I was just pointing out how ridiculously uninformed the 'brief' statement was. 6 years including establishing a chapter and recruiting hundreds of members is about as far from brief as possible. It was only when running for office, he started to lie about it and denounce it.
One of them has a history of shady real estate deals, sports an authoritarian streak, and is kind of funny looking. The other is Donald Trump.
Hey-o!
