You just said they're split on universal healthcare. That means they are literally not a bloc.

Most people here have been negative towards a possible Winfrey run, so I don't really know who you are talking to.

If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

Nor did the former really, people didn't dislike Trump because he was a reality TV star with no political experience, they disliked him because he's a lying unscrupulous little shit.

The right opened the door for this and you shouldn't be complaining if the left does something like this.

Suggesting the left as a whole is ok with it is disingenuous.

I say, with Oprah giving away free cars to the people, perhaps the road is open for the GOP to make some comparisons with Hitler of their own.

He was a first year senator with little experience. But yeah, he's not a reality TV star even though he sometimes seems to think he is.

It does indeed, because there's so much money in it.. the ratings, the advertising.. election reform is possibly the single thing that could clean up politics the most.
