Wrong. Trump was a dumb democrat when he was doing those sinful things. So what we should take is that democrats are dumb, and sinful.

The issues with what you're proposing is that only the rich could afford college. Grants help a lot of students from lower SES as well as minorities get a chance at college. Not all of them graduate, but making higher education more attainable is necessary if you want people to have some mobility. If you limited college to only those who could afford to pay for it before beginning, you're narrowing the pool by an immense factor. As for your second point, I'd argue that you're asking 17-18 year olds to make a prediction on the job market 4-8 years in advance for whatever degree they end up getting. Graduates have a right to be upset if they work towards a degree only to have it not be used like they imagined, or have the job market become extremely tight. Frankly, getting a good paying job as a young graduate is becoming increasingly difficult. I'd agree with a focus on trade schools, but I think more students should be pushed towards community colleges as they aren't as expensive to attend so they can lessen the burden for the future.

Don't forget healthcare. It's been my view for some time that the agent for socialism is going to be frustration with how healthcare is handled in the US. Millennials are still young, but they have older family members, and can recognize that at this rate healthcare will be a huge crisis once they age.

The president is posting Simpsons memes...

It's disingenuous as hell to suggest that we have to separate and detain kids or else we're a country of lawlessness. There's no reason to do it other than wanting to be cruel, especially since it costs more to do this.

She's definitely trying a little too hard to get that Fox money, but damn that's too good of a self-own to pass up.

Kaitlin Bennett is the Kent State girl who took graduation pics with her guns on campus.

I'm sure Texas has no problem taking either of them...

Seems like getting rid of it would harm authorized immigrants more than unauthorized ones. Unless you added protections for the children of authorized immigrants.

What is your reason for eliminating jus soli?

The number of accelerationists on this board always surprise me.

Welcome back!

Zero sunshine. Welcome to the 40 acres, Adimora.

There was a candid moment on twitter a very long time ago between two political journalists. Trump had said something controversial about immigrants, they had reported it objectively, and were berated with calls of dishonest media. To cover Trump objectively is effectively covering him in a negative light, was the gist of the conversation between the journos. I think you're falling for the "both sides" trap here.

I think Obama was genuine in his desire to compromise. He did bend over backwards many times to appease Republicans, but I don't think he had another choice. Your rhetoric coming from Obama would've destroyed any chance he could've had at getting bills passed. It didn't end up mattering because the republicans still blocked everything, but he never gave up in his attempts to compromise. If it truly was about ego, I think you would've seen him snap early on in his presidency.

Especially in the SEC, where Auburn/Bama/UGA/LSU are all going to get elite recruits year in year out. Fisher's a decent QB developer but the rest of the roster has a ways to go before they match those teams.

I'm interested to see how this plays out. Will other potential Dem nominees echo her statements or will Gillibrand be the lone candidate? During the Dem primaries, this is definitely going to get asked.

That's been the hallmark of Trump's run in politics. He doesn't deal with any controversy, he just creates a new one and jumps to that.

I'm not sure where else to put this, but it was a fascinating bit of polling: Democrats Are Wrong About Republicans. Republicans Are Wrong About Democrats Really goes to show how wide the chasm is when it comes to guessing the other party's demographics.
