Re: Issues 2020: Medicare for All/Public Option
My understanding is that this regime has cut back the private Medicare Supplement by billions. There are several poison pills where a lot of Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid has lost a lot of funding in this budget. I believe that was the budget proposed by Trump, not what what was just agre...

Re: Issues 2020: Medicare for All/Public Option
to Lani, RS and Mike. I’m pro-public option. While I’d really love to see it, IMHO we’re not prepared fiscally or culturally yet for Medicare for All. Insistence on that as the only possibility risks not only giving Trump a second term, but losing the House as well.- Wed Jul 10, 2019 2:50 pm

IANAL but IMHO, Flynn no longer expects to get a light sentence. He's angling for a pardon now.

Re: Pete Buttigieg 2020
I agree with Lani, Stern and RV. Mayor Pete's terrific but President in 2020 seems a stretch. Nonetheless, I'll be happy to vote for him whenever the opportunity arrives.
As for other experience in the meantime, how about VP?

Supposedly there's also an alternative plan. Put Tom Cotton in as Defense Secretary and have her run for his Senate seat.

The wording was "persons connected to the Administration or Congress". I don't think we know it was a member of Congress.

Re: The Democrats have to impeach him....
Trump's biggest fear is likely his fan base finding out he's a colossal failure and has been all his life. That's the only way I can explain the constant stream of how he's the bestest, bigliest, most awesome president ever ... Yeah, I’m thinking that his fan base doesn’t care that he’s a failure b...
