    I take it I will have to give the report since nobody else will watch LOL. Some things I'll be looking for are, will Clinton out left Sanders? She is moving in that direction. Besides stopping Sanders support perhaps she's making a difference between herself and Biden in case he enters the race. So, in a way, Biden will be there. He would no doubt support current administration actions. Will Bernie nail her for changing positions even though he doesn't really go after opponents? Will Sanders appear electable? So just who is Martin O'Malley? I'm very interested in foreign policy since IMO it's been a mess for years and years, and years. Will there be new topics not discussed so far during the campaign? Or if not, which ones will appear to dominate the Democratic policies? Gun control, social security, wars, immigration, college, race issues, global warming?

      Please do @tropicalshox:. I would love to hear their ideas on Social Security (I'd like to hear EVERYONE'S). I'd also be interested in other real world problems like foreign policy and immigration.

      Unless they defend the 2nd Amendment, admit the global warming panic is a hoax or apologize for making a mess of whatever "race issues" are and bankrupting the country with this college loan mess, I really don't care what any of them have to say on those issues.

      But I would love to hear what your opinion is, as a person that leans a little to the left, on each of their stances on the important topics. Thank you

        As good Liberals, they are going to propose record spending and more programs than you can count.

        I just hope someone calls out Bernie for how he intends to find $18 TRILLION to pay for it.

        I hope they fixate on gun control and global warming. There may not be a bigger gap between the political class and the average American than those 2 issues.

            I don't know a thing about Webb or Chafee other than they were both Republicans, correct? Of course Sanders has always been independent. So the long term Democrats are out numbered.

              I'm sure I haven't see every poll on these topics, but I don't believe you are correct. What I remember on global warming is a large majority believe it is occurring and majority believe humans are a cause. If they think he it will harm them in their life time the number drops.

              On gun control, when asked about some specific ways to control guns, like assault weapon bans, a large majority are in favor. When its put to them if their constitutional rights are more important than gun control than a small majority (52 to 46) say their constitutional rights are more important.

                I don't think that most people understand that automatic weapons are already banned. Perhaps some want large magazines banned. An assault rifle isn't really any more dangerous than a hunting rifle.

                  Yes I believe large magazines was another the majority were against.

                    These assault rifles are little more than dressed up hunting rifles. You can do far more damage modifying a Remington 870 than with an AK. You can extend the magazine, shoot incendiary rounds, shoot small explosives, deer slugs that can decapitate and more. What can be done with that shotgun is truly frightening.

                    There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

                      Information about the Remington M870 12 gauge pump-action shotgun - as used by US Special Operations Forces.


                      You can do all of this with the most dependable shotgun ever made. Uninformed people cower at the thought of an "AK" nobody will ever speak of banning a little pheasant gun. In close quarters, I'd rather take my chances against the AK.

                        While we're mentioning gun control, I have a question. Let me compare purchases of guns to purchases of alcohol.

                        If I go to the liquor store and provide ID to prove my age, then I can buy alcohol. If I then sell that alcohol to someone who's not 21, then I have committed a crime and can be prosecuted.

                        If I go to a sporting goods store and pass the background check, then I can buy a weapon. If I then sell that weapon to someone who could not pass the background check, have I committed a crime?
                        The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
                        We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

                              Here's the debate in a nutshell:

                              "I want to give average Americans more than the other person here."

                              "No I will give you more!"

                              "At least we all can agree that all our problems are the fault of the GOP and we will make the Rich hater Republicans pay for it all!!!"

                              "Here here!"

                                Oh goodie, red meat time. Or probably more appropriately, seasoned tofu time:

                                Up next:

                                Global warming, green energy and weed. Anderson just called everyone in the room a pot head. Good stuff. In fairness, they do appear to be that stupid.
