    Yep. It's a factor. When a candidates family isn't backing you, what does that say about the candidate?

    Criticism like this?

    Odd, you block people from researching your past posts. And odd, you defend trump routinely here, but I will give you credit if you oppose his latest executive overreach to get his vanity wall built...

    I would ask anti-wall advocates to get the facts from the people who know, the border patrol agents who say they welcome Trumps “vanity” wall.

    If you weren't such an idealogue, you would see that I've never felt Trump was above criticism. But to the OMBS (Orange Man Bad Syndrome) sufferers like yourself NOTHING Trump does is right and everything must be criticized. I might as well be speaking to this person:

    While I am certainly a vocal critic of trump, you only need to search back as far as... yesterday:

    You can search his or anyone else’s past posts. Just go to advanced search and search posts by username.

    I was surprised after reading the intial press release and seeing numerous articles that it took about a day for someone to start a thread. This is a great move by the Trump administration and should receive much more attention.

    lol. "It's not about cost, it's about investment." I think we see a consistent trend emerging . . . .

    It's not only now emerging. It has been running rampant in administrations since Reagan. The current administration is the least responsible when it comes to decreasing deficit spending.

    It isn't necessarily a problem. If the economy is doing poorly it can jump start the economy into doing well. It helped us get out of the great depression. But when the economy is doing well, that is the time to reduce the deficit spending and work on paying down the debt.

    It actually isn’t a problem IF the US’s credit is still highly rated. Dems have always been so weak when they pressed as they always are by the media with deficit spending investments.

    The GOP just added over a trillion to the deficit for a tax cut to the rich and corporations. The Dems have to know the public is behind them (even if the corporate owned MSM is not) and answer the question in order to move on.

    Just say yes... initially adding Medicare expansion will increase the deficit by however many billion. That’s still far less than GOP Trump tax scam, and in the long run, we do quite well. And if you are worried about the Deficit, you’ll be happy to know that one of my first acts will be asking Congress to repeal the GOP tax cut for the wealthy, adding a wealth tax for people making over 10 mil, which will pay for this initial deficit spending.

    That’s not that hard to say, and it will have wide support with anyone not reciting GOP billionaire trickle down talking points.

    A question for any African Americans on the forum. Is Kamala, the privileged daughter of two tenured professors from abroad, Jamaica and India going to be supported by the vast majority of Black Americans.
