At least he's good for a laugh

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

Democratic presidential candidate John Delaney chimes in

WTF?

Which insurance companies are contributing to Delaney's campaign?

John Delaney, please drop out

I'm not into having another billionaire businessman as president, and besides, I cannot look at John Delaney without thinking of character actor and voice of Piglet, John Fiedler. 

I didn't know the actor's name.  Thanks to Stephen Schwartz, I do now.

Also, please drop out Governor Bullock. 

He's probably not going to get very good press for his debate appearance last night due to the fact that he didn't put his hand over his heart during the playing of the national anthem or the parading of the American flag, but I'm more concerned about his comment that he would not take a first nuclear strike option off the table.  Now I know why:




Another person who's main concern is his own narrow interests.  Screw the world.

I may have to check in on Mr. Schwartz fom time to time.

Sometimes, you HAVE to talk around it

Matthews is trying to get her to say what she is acknowledging without saying: Medicare for All means your taxes go up.  She won't say it because she knows that's the soundbyte the Republicans would be using for all their ads against her.  Matthews knows this, too.

To pretend that the only thing that matters is whether your taxes go up or down may be the laziest, most dishonest talking point politicians use.  And they use it in every election, even though after each election, they raise taxes.

Watch Warren refuse the trap.  And make the point.

UPDATE:  Charlie Pierce has a good summary of the night.
