Nah. someone just posted a photo of Trump with Cruz. Old I guess? Trump just landed.

So Trump already went on at 5? What are they doing the rest of the night?

Besides a certain segment of the population that might fit in baskets, is Trump coming really a good thing? Is this circus really going to motivate a mainstream conservative to go vote?

This. This is the "I voted" social media effect. Let's hope we got enough of em registered.

Translation: Thank you sir, may I have another. What a joke of a person.

The staid BBC, ladies and gentlemen. This is why this rally is a little bizzare and tells me Cruz feels at risk of losing. It's going to remind everyone of what him and Trump said about each other, that Trump never apologized, and that Cruz is a pussy. They must be desperate to rally the base if they're willing to take on that risk.

People are saying the illegal caravan of rapists and child murdered will be going straight from the border to the polling booth. Build the Wall! /Trump

Whoever wins, Texas will have the Senator it deserves.

I'll fairly optimistic as well. I've just seen him pull in too many people who had up until now been politically apathetic.

Begun, the banner wars have.

There's a good chance multiple people will die at this Trump rally.

One of the most exciting things about this race is if Cruz loses, I think he's pretty much done politically. How great would that be?

Greatest GOTV ever is a real possibility. Also, Cruz is really unlikeable. I can't imagine there's a lot of enthusiasm even among supporters. That combined with the lack of other competitive statewide races may mean Repubs stay home. But the nationalization of the election will probably make that wishful thinking.

It seems like the momentum's shifted back in Beto's favor with the fundraising announcement, debate, Cnn townhall and start of an historic GOTV push. Then we have the circus in town on Monday, which I think carries some risks for Cruz, in addition to rallying a certain moron base. It will be interesting to see the next round of polling.

Gonna get this thread back on track. New Linklater spot. This one about traveling to every county in Texas/Iowa. They should put this one on TV. I would donate.

The fucking study you cited does exactly this and found a net savings. Jesus Fuxking Christ.

https://amp.businessinsider.com/bernie-sanders-medicare-for-all-plan-cost-save-money-2018-7 A new report from the libertarian Mercatus Center found that Sen. Bernie Sanders' "Medicare for All" plan would cost the federal government an additional $32.6 trillion over 10 years. But the Mercatus report also found that the national health expenditure - the total amount spent on healthcare in the US by the federal government, states, businesses, and individuals - would come in below current projections under Sanders' plan. So while the price tag for the federal government would increase, the total cost of healthcare would go down, and more than 30 million uninsured Americans would get access to healthcare, according to Mercatus' model.

How much do we pay for the current system? You can't look at costs and not savings. And Sanders has one idea. There are others like adding a public option to the ACA. We need to have the debate and republicans are impeding it.

Could be cheaper for people than the system we have. To start with it would create a mechanism to control costs. They're not babies and that's a woman decision. Did I pass? How hard did you laugh? Fucking dumbass.

If only there was some way to prevent people from gaming the system, a mandate perhaps. Maybe an individual mandate. You could enforce it with a penalty....err...tax.

These people will eventually die off right? Maybe 20 years?

That Houston Chronicle endorsement includes scathing criticism of Cruz: "Ted Cruz — a candidate the Chronicle endorsed in 2012, by the way — is the junior senator from Texas in name only. Exhibiting little interest in addressing the needs of his fellow Texans during his six years in office, he has kept his eyes on a higher prize. He's been running for president since he took the oath of office — more likely since he picked up his class schedule as a 15-year-old ninth-grader at Houston's Second Baptist High School more than three decades ago. For Cruz, public office is a private quest; the needs of his constituents are secondary." "There's one more reason O'Rourke should represent Texas in the U.S. Senate: He would help to serve as a check on a president who is a danger to the republic. Cruz is unwilling to take on that responsibility. Indeed, the man who delighted in calling the Texas senator "Lyin' Ted" all through the 2016 presidential campaign, who insulted Cruz's wife and his father, is bringing his traveling campaign medicine show to Houston next week to buoy the Cruz campaign. The hyperbole, the hypocrisy and the rancorous hot air just might blow the roof off the Toyota Center." Worth reaflding the whole thing.

Cruz is tweeting his debate closing with him in the shadows. So fitting.

Enjoying her GoFundMe accounts and Soros bucks. Duh. /GOP moron
