We are already paying for it.

When someone gets a little sick and ignores it, we pay for it when they infect others. It affects productivity, it affects school attendance, it affects work attendance. When those people who were a little bit sick get worse and become very sick, they go to the ER. They can't afford it. We still pay for it. Even if you have insurance you like--you know those high premiums for a plan you may never need to take advantage of? Those premiums are paying for the people who do need to take advantage of their healthcare plan.

We all pay for each other's healthcare in one way or another. It's all interconnected.

If we get some semblance of a functional healthcare system in this country, we would all at least be paying a little bit less toward it.

There's a terrible Harry Potter one too. Warren Stans have some real weird ideas about the "Lisa Simpson" candidate.

Warren would be Stannis Baratheon. Good ideas but poor instincts and swayed by terrible advisors. Willing to sacrifice kin for victory only to lose.

Yang is Rob Stark. Looks pretty promising for a second, and then suddenly gone forever.

Trump would eat Biden alive. Watching Biden try to go back and forth with Trump would be sad.

I guess you haven't been paying attention for the last 4 years. Trump is a showman and his supporters love it. The same way no one was excited to vote for Hilary would repeat all over again with Biden and probably worse. Biden has the charisma of a rock.

Biden and Sanders are no different, if it comes down to who can out Trump Trump then neither can win, although of the two Biden is the better of the two, Bernie is excruciatingly dull, at least people like Biden.

The next election isn't about winning Trumps 40%, its about winning all the rest that are embarrassed and ashamed, or even frightened of Trump, for that all Biden has to do is look Presidential

That's the thing though. Trump has his votes on lock. People are excited about voting for him. The Dems have no one to get excited about. Bidens a walking meme. Trump will probably slaughter him.

No one's excited about Trump, his drooling yee haa's love him but that's barely 40%, everyone else despises him, if the economy was going great maybe they'd stay home but by November we are going to be deep into a recession, I agree the Dem's could screw this up but there is not a thing Trump can do to win it, he lost it when that first bat soup got served three moths or so ago
