"The U.S. should be more like Europe.  Except that plurality of parties and coalition government stuff---basically the basis for their representative democracies.  But the whole democratic-socialism thing, the U.S. should do that.  Except have it administered by one party, my party.  And not even so much the Democratic party...really just parts of it that I want to help lead."

"...in a world Medicare Part D wasn't championed and passed by a Republican administration for its base with nary a subsequent solitary vote to repeal."

More guns will result in less gun violence. 

Republicans seem like they suck at math.
