That's extremely weird phrasing that lets Republicans off the hook. Economies don't "focus," administrations do and Congress is supposed to. The simple truth is that Republicans don't give a shit about the people who are hurt by their policies, but Politico et al. are too cowardly to say it.

Presumably you're paying for a supplement with Kaiser? Because Medicare plus a supplement looks good but Medicare alone only pays 80%.

As someone who'll be going on Medicare starting in January, I can say unequivocally that it is entirely insufficient by itself and anyone who thinks otherwise is ignorant.

In the elaborate fairy-tale world they've constructed for themselves, they are somehow the base of the party despite their demands to be "inspired" before they deign to turn out to vote. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Swing voters: We hate the healthcare system!
Also swing voters: Don't you dare change it!

The Republican primary had supposed moderates like Rubio in contention and Trump curb stomped all of them. The lurch to the far right was rewarded by his win in the general and has not yet been punished by the electorate. I doubt it ever will be.

Political gravity would normally have made GHW Bush a loser in 1988 and instead he won the electoral college by a mile. Then his popularity soared after Desert Storm. So Democrats were very much on the defensive in '92 but still ran on UHC and raising taxes on the rich. Hardly right of center.

Yes he can and he did.

Beautifully stated.

The concept of blowback from a foreign entanglement is way beyond the capacity of American media to present coherently and way beyond the ability of most Americans to understand.

Evanston is my wife's hometown so I'm especially aware of and offended by this fraud's attempt at carpet bagging.

Only people with no understanding of how anything works take her seriously. Thanks for identifying yourself.

She's relentlessly full of shit.

Bullshit. So sick of these fcking liars.

Fantastic! I hadn't known about her. People are so ignorant about what an absolute shithole that part of the world was under the Ottoman Empire.

Stupid and certain to get other people killed with their stupidity. But we're supposed to respect them.

True since 1/7/21.

Bright green ran strong but faded down the stretch like Donald Trump at sundown.
