    Centrist politician=bought and paid for by billionaires and corporations.

    A recent Koch funded poll showed 55% support for "government run healthcare." It usually polls at 60% or above when listed as Medicare for all. The same Koch study showed 65% supported the 15 dollar minimum wage and 66% supported free public college. You appear to be misinformed.

    Cruz vs Beto

    While not highly regarded the civiqs poll now has Beto ahead 48 to 47. Last month he was behind 48 to 46.

    What is that supposed to mean? Liberals, moderates and centrist conservatives are among the 60% of the population that support the platform of AOC and Bernie. It is social democracy not socialism.
  5. RayDog
    I hope you realise that there is very little difference between Beto's and Bernie's platforms and their main platform ideas have around 60% public support.

    It is funny that the reporters think a 2 to 1 lead among rural voters is good for Cruz. Rural voters went 3 to 1 or better for Trump in most rural counties. If Cruz gets 10% fewer votes in rural counties Beto will win easily.

    About 60% of Texans vote in midterms as the last presidential race. 9 million voted in 2016. 65% is typical in other states so that is possible if there is a high Democratic turnout.

    Turnout could be as high as 6 million, so 200,000 to 240,000. I expect the race will be within 100,000 either way.

    538 is estimating 52 to 45 with Carter having an 80% chance of winning. The main sites list it as likely Republican except RCP which has it as safe. Interestingly their prediction is about the same as the Trump v. Clinton 2016 race in Wilco including the Libertarian getting 3%. There are about 60 races that are more likely to flip on most sites, so if TX31 goes Democratic that gives us some idea how many seats overall will be flipping.

    When Pence decides to make his move he will have a few allies and be able to sell the vp slot as well as a couple key cabinet positions. The Kochs and friends will buy a few more and some just hate Trump. There are estimates that as many as 14 senators were ready to vote against him as of June. I think the Senate will get to 67 in under 8 months.

    The dems have enough of their own small states to win the Senate particularly if DC and PR get statehood.

    I wish fans in the stands would start taking a knee too.

    Politico did not bother to put anyone else in their survey. But anyone answering the poll about a random Democrat would have somebody in mind such as Sanders or Warren.
  14. RayDog
    I don't get why the mainstream media keeps trying to push Biden. The Politico poll showed a random Democrat is a 13 point favorite over Trump but Biden was a 7 point Biden. So, anybody but Biden was 6 points better than Biden.

    I still can't get over walking over the chalk outlines of bodies on the maidan.

    I am aware of that, and it is entirely possible that a final m4a bill would retain some or many of those options. I don't know about trends continuing as I think Bernie will win in 2020 and have a Democratic House and Senate, so I expect to see some sort of m4a bill passed in 2021.

    Which part? 44 million are on Medicare, 70 million on Medicare and Chips, and 9 million on VA. About half of the US public has their primary health insurance through their work, or business, including those that are self employed. Medicare would benefit greatly if they could tax and cover the healthy working majority.

    And as you can see he is so good with children. I liked the idea of it so much that I donated $25 to help pay for the casting,

    If you read Bernie's proposal it certainly seems achievable. For employers with few high dollar employees they can even save money after giving employees a raise to cover the deductions. A raise in the minimun wage will ensure low wage workers are covered. You also have to keep in mind that the Federal government already supplies healthcare to 123 milliin people between medicare, medicaid, Chips, and the VA. Health insurers mainly cover healthy people who are employed and their families since that is where they can make the most profit. Bernie's proposal primarily includes a 6.2% payroll deduction, a 2.2% income tax increase, and taxing capital gains and dividends as normal income.

    This is the same statue they tried to install in Oklahoma. Most of the supporters are non-religious.

    People relate to needing healthcare, education, and a living wage. Corporate Democrats don't even carry that message.

    New poll has Janz even with Nunes 47 all.

    2.7 million people die each year, so the net loss of Republican voters each year likely exceeds a half million voters.
