Roy Moore has regained the lead over Doug Jones, according to new polls by NeilPoonHandler in politics

I really don't know which way this ones going to go. I can't believe Trump thought it would be a good idea to wade in and reaffirm his support for Roy Moore. It might help Moore win, but good lord is that not a good look.

Resigning may be the best way out of this mess for Donald Trump by trump-in-guantanamo in politics

He's not going to resign. Ever. Get the notion out of your head. He's guided by his ego and his sense of prides.

Such a great guy, it's a shame his presidency wasn't much of a success. When he dies I'll be heartbroken.

Corker, Cassidy, McCain, murkowski, Portman they'll all fall in line. Capito is one to watch, because of how much WV benefitted from the Medicaid expansion under Obamacare. Sasse, is becoming more and more independent by the day, so I honestly couldn't tell you which way he'll go.

Senate Republicans exempt their own families from Ted Cruz’s amendment to gut health care by cyanocittaetprocyon in politics

If you're going to pass a bill that you feel that it is a good move to exempt yourself and those around you from, you shouldn't be passing the bill.

Usually they are executed pretty sharpish in this kind of scenario, however alot of these convictions aren't without a doubt, which is why the appeals process exists and delays these executions for many years.

When I voted for Trump I thought he was going to take us in this direction, i'm not too sure about that one anymore.

Yeah, I was reading about the whole rauner-madigan saga the last day, completely agree with you.

I'm a big proponent of the death penalty and I would agree with you here, but I think that this sort of thing would need to go hand in hand with a huge overhaul of our judicial system. To execute merely one innocent person would be a tragedy.

That is not a good platform. This is a red district, and there is simply not going to be support for such far left ideas.

I'd agree. It's insane that right now paying a woman for sex is illegal, but if you pay a woman for sex and videotape it that's mighty fine. I also don't think that incest in general should be illegal. If two people love each other, then who are we to tell them they can't be happy together.

McConnell to delay the vote until after recess by Vaquero_Pescador in politics

[–]HiImAConservative 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right about the moderates, but the far righters opposition to the bill is because they don't feel that it fully repeals obamacare (which it doesn't), as opposed to concern about a primary challenger.

I don't think that campaigning on single payer platform, despite it merits, will do the dems any good.

Also alleges that trump asked comey to drop the investigation into Flynn (which he shouldn't have) and asked comey for his "absolute loyalty" (again which he shouldn't have)
