No true conservative would vote for Trump this cycle given his fiscal record. Either vote libertarian, or turn in your conservative badge.
He’s a fuck of a lot closer to a conservative than Bernie is to a democrat.
You’re mixing labels here.

Considering how fiscally irresponsible conservatives have always been, I'd say you're not a true conservative if you didn't vote for Trump.

If it locks in the business expense forever then I’m all for it as a businessman. Still not a fan as a consumer, putting that faith in the government.
Completely agree. This would be great for companies. In general, healthcare insurance is a portion of employee compensation that never gets cheaper. Employees usually pay more in premium portions or copays in order to curb the company's increased costs. Shedding that from the compensation package would be huge for companies. They would just shift the current cost of insurance to wages and be done with it.

So in the last week Senile Joe has claimed that he was arrested in South Africa for trying to visit Nelson Mandela, said that his son was attorney general of the US, and told voters to vote for him in his campaign for US Senate.

Someone in his family needs to step in and end this. It's elder abuse.

Biden apparently never told the story before. Didn't mention it in his memoirs. No one remembers hearing it, including Andrew Young, former congressman & mayor of Atlanta who was the U.S. ambassador to the UN from 1977 to 1979 that had traveled with Biden, including to S Africa.
He also spoke publicly about visiting South Africa after Mandela died in 2013. Via HuffPost:

In a 2013 visit to the South African Embassy in Washington after Mandela’s death, Biden talked about a 1977 visit to the country. He reportedly said he had met with anti-apartheid leaders there but did not get to speak with Mandela, who was serving what would ultimately be 27 years in prison. Biden did not appear to have mentioned being arrested.

The Times claims it contacted his campaign for comment no less than five times, wanting to give him every opportunity to set the record straight in case it had the facts wrong. No reply.

Just an observation....it's always candidates who are playing from behind want to start an argument about who is the most racially woke.

I really do wonder why it is that Democrats allow someone who is not a Democrat run for the Democrat Party nomination for President. I mean, seriously, it does seem to me that someone who wants a Party's nomination for President should be a member of that Party.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Warren destroyed Bloomberg again. It's beautiful, man! Bernie, Bernie, Bernie!

My only worry in this debate is that Biden seems to have a pulse. I don't want him hurting Bernie's momentum!

That had to be the worst debate so far. CBS was a complete shit-show. No moderation, turned into a Q&A session instead of a debate, they couldn't time things correctly, and it was an insanely biased crowd (you had to pay $1800-$3250 for a ticket).

Warren asks Bloomberg to release his tax returns...and the crowd boos at her? WTF? :lol:

Also it boggles my mind anyone likes Pete. He only interrupts, antagonizes, and has long-winded responses that amount to no real policy. I'd rather vote for Bloomberg than Pete at his point, and I hate Bloomberg.

Also somehow Pete becomes more unlikable by the day. I'd rather vote for Bloomberg than Pete at his point, and I hate Bloomberg.
It really is amazing that the Democrats are going to screw this up twice against Donald Trump. It's a remarkable feat.
