I have a quirky problem with my browsers. I get very little sound out of Chrome and Opera but IE works fine. Some kind of conflict I suspect. Chrome is the only browser that has a casting feature so I have to watch streaming on my computer screen. Unfortunately, my grandson is watching YouTube cartoons so I am shit out of luck.

They're taking climate change seriously . . . and the other side? *Crickets*

**Norton** · 13-09-2019, 09:27 AM

Break time. So far Beto impressed me most.

**Norton** · 13-09-2019, 09:28 AM

Seems we have a minor disturbance.

...Mayor Pete sounds the most calmly articulate to me...a shame he'll never be elected as long as Pentecostals rule the hinterland...

**Norton** · 13-09-2019, 12:38 PM

All did enough to get to next debate. Not sure that is a good thing.

Agree. His best performance to date.

Castro managed to alienate just about everybody who is forgetful with age.

But they'll probably have forgotten that by the next debate.

**Klondyke** · 13-09-2019, 07:52 PM

As if it does matter how cleverly they speak and bash the other ones...

Why it should matter who will get in? The POTUS is no dictator, is he? He just transposes the will of the people.
And who are the "people"? (please no names here...)

With the broad executuve powers (things he can do without congress approval) and the ability to appoint Supreme Court judges, a pres is in many ways a dictator.

Ever since Sept 2001 with the passing of the war powers act, the pres can and has many times since committed troops to war anywhere he pleases. Time to scrap that abortion act and go back to when a congressional declaration of war was required. Last time that happened was 1942 but the US has been at war somewhere ever since.

Biden is over his head in a way. He's there b/c Wall Street is backing him. The only two on stage who are not funded by corporate America are Bernie and Warren, which is the way it should be if the US wants to call itself a real democracy, not a corporatocracy. But any of these leaders would improve the US a 1000% right now. Pete B. is always impressive. And so was Cory and Beto. I'm not sure about Klobuchar and Yang though. Yang is a libertarian Republican, not a democrat, and has no business being there.

But what is so concerning is the length of these primaries. Is this a marathon race, to see if someone makes the smallest slip, to be pounced on and set afire? I think one more debate would give the vast majority of us enough of an idea to vote. There's a time to move on and I think we are there.

Plenty of time to get them "funded" (if they get elected - mistakenly...)

There is effectively nothing he can do without congressional approval because anything can be taken to court.

And he only nominates Supreme Court judges, the senate has to approve them.

It's just that this particular president has a suck up senate and an arsehole of a speaker.

Hopefully the voting public will realise that this is a bad thing.
