2020 Presidential Election Discussion

Why would he suspend now? He's not in the top tier, but he never was, and he's growing consistently. He's not like Kamala, who spiked in the polls for all of a week and has been plumetting since.

I didnt know he was top in the polls, which ones?

I'm happy Kamala is plummeting. She's my least favorite candidate in the entire field.

My least favorite is Pocahontas Warren.

Yang's polling at 5% in NH iirc, which isn't too shabby considering he was an unknown.

If some of the other bigger names drop out like Booker and Harris, he could grow further. I doubt he'd win, but he could leverage his popularity for a key position in the 2020 Dem winner cabinet and then use that as a platform to run again in the future, as he's young.

Beto is out of this race. It's like the race tried to give him a DUI and he fled the scene.

Beto Got Cucked.

"Q: Where do those who work in health insurance go when private insurance is eliminated?

Sen. Warren: "No one gets left behind. Some of the people currently working in health insurance will work in other parts of insurance. In life insurance, in auto insurance, in car insurance."

Can someone explain how eliminating the market for health insurance expands the market for other types of insurance?

Short answer: They don't, in both cases, because demand is what creates jobs.

Warren pretty much said they could try their luck in other insurance rackets since that's what they know and feel comfortable with. Obviously not every one would be able to make the transition, and may have to try completely different lines of work.

Sanders goes a step further and is promising federal government jobs.

So did she also say tax cuts for the rich create jobs?

No. It's just a false assumption that comes up every so often I was reminded of by Warren's comment which assumes it'll be an easy transition to go from working in health insurance to other types of insurance, and that those industries can fully accommodate a sudden influx of labor.

So Michael Bloomberg threw in his bid for President and is officially a candidate now.

Trumpers have already come out and said they can't support an elitist billionaire from a liberal coastal state, especially New York, as this type of person does not represent them or their values...

Probably the same way that tax cuts for the rich somehow create jobs.

This is what the net worth of the world’s elite would look like if Elizabeth Warren’s tax plan had been in effect since 1

In fact, here’s a look at what the net worth of these guys would be today if Warren’s plan to levy a 6% tax on billionaires had been in place since 1982: -snip

That’s plenty of money left over let’s tax them at 18% rate

I'm not liking that chart, Rob. I like my Super Elites to actually BE Phenomenally Cosmic Rich, not merely, semi-Phenomenonally nearly-Cosmic Rich.

Smells like socialism.

I applied for a job at Amazon. I hope Bezos doesn't cut my salary to pay Warren's bullshit tax.
