  1. Even better would be a unbiased website where you plug in your earnings and see where you fall under all candidates plans.

  2. Because he doesn't care about the good of the country, at least not anywhere close to the equivalent amount he cares about his own narcissism and ego driven quest for success. Same can be said for Buttigieg for sure, and Biden, and Harris. Maybe Warren. Not Yang or Sanders tho, imo.

  3. Some of you blame the wrong person/people. It is BERNIE that has to inform the people of his plan, it is HIS job to tell us his ideas and present his plan and how it works. This is a f#&%ing job interview. It is his job to tell the interviewer (us) why he is the best person for the job. If I go on a job interview and the boss goes "So tell me, why are you the best person for the job" and I reply with "Ohhhhh wow, good question...trust me I am...you will see once you hire me how great I am" guess what...I am not getting the job.

  4. And thats the thing about the right wing, they will lie about anyone. If Biden is the nominee they will spread misinformation about Hunter Biden. If Bloomberg is the nominee they will make up some crazy number of how many blacks he threw in prison and Trumps low black unemployment. I mean he did throw a lot in jail bit theyd prob add a couple zeros to the actual number. If Warren is nominee they will talk about all her lies and embelish them big time. So whoever it is will be dealing with a smear campaign. I got to say though, one of my biggest criticisms of Sanders is that he doesnt easily spell things out for people. Hes gotten better since 2016 but you cant expect everyone to go to your website to find info. You need to make it easily for people and let them know in laymans terms.

  9. Sorry, I've been deathly sick the last 24 hours and haven't been able to do much of anything. But I'm feeling a bit better today and off work, so here goes: @BlitzFirst if you prefer polls, chew this one over: Sanders advantage evaporates in swing states. He undoubtedly does better in the Rust Belt, but he absolutely cannot compete in other purple or light-red swing states. Meaning AZ, FL, GA, NC are all out of play. These are all places that are shifting blue at differing paces (other than FL, where 2 years ago a Bernie acolyte tried to run his playbook and lost). But running a guy who fancies himself any form of the word socialist is simply going to tank our chances in these states and hurt downballot Dems running for Congress. I do think he could win MI. But as someone mentioned in the debate, once blue-collar Pennsylvanians find out his position calling for a total ban on fracking (a backbone of their economy), he's going to be dead in the water there. He's going to have to actually moderate his positions (gasp!) or come up with an argument that's a hell of a lot better than "the scientists say." That was a horrible answer even if he's correct. Not all that different from Clinton's "we're going to put coal miners out of business" quote. And as for WI here's the latest Quinnipiac swing state poll: WTH? How is WI trending this red? In short, my problem with Sanders is he creates for himself an extremely narrow map to victory. I think he pretty much has to win WI/PA/MI and all the other states Clinton won to win. Those states I listed first are just off the table altogether. And it's not like once he wins the nomination the next six months occur in a vacuum. He will no longer be playing in the minors, it will be Bernie vs. Trump 24/7. The GOP slime machine will be cranking overdrive on him. And once the discussion becomes how President Sanders doesn't tank the economy or put a bunch of people out of work or nationalize everything - believe me, that is the discussion Trump and others will try to force him to have - I think a lot of people get a lot more nervous about voting for him and opt to re-elect the doofus we have, with all his horrible flaws, because he's the devil we know. The past four+ years have turned me into a cynical old man regarding our politics, but I'm calling my shot now: This guy will get his butt kicked in a general election. And believe me, I'd love to come back and eat crow on this. It's not like I want him to lose by any means. I just think he will.

  10. All I know is the hunger and passion the fanbase has, I will be glad to be on board when we break through because if you want to see unbearable, watch what we become the first 3-4 years of real success from the viewpoint of an oppositions fan base.

  12. Yup. Winning some games will really be fuel for the fire. Likewise when a couple more top rated guys commit then I think the flood gates may open for this coming class. If we can get some wins early then the season could finish a bit better than some think. There will be one or two of those perceived tough opponents fall down (they always seem to) and the door maybe opened if the Huskers will just step thru.

  13. People would rather get their info in meme form, usually from a biased website like “Conservative Liberty Eagle” where they own libs with facts. Bernies tax plan is on a website named bernietax.com. His income tax remains the same as the system in place, where it differs is if your household makes over $250,000 a year (so top 5% of households would see an increase in income tax). It also breaks down if you would lose or save disposable income with Bernies plan. My household is $150,000 - if my family needs $5,000 in healthcare costs, I break even with years past, if it’s under $5000 - I’m losing disposable income, if costs are over $5000- I’m saving money. Worth it in my eyes.

  14. ^^^This. I didn't think our offense was quite as bad as a lot of people thought last year. Our RZ offense was absolutely terrible though. If you improve that even to to like 85% which still isn't top 50 I bet we win 1-2 more games last year. Hoping that Vokolek, Manning, Betts and better OL play improve this a lot.

  15. Unfortunately people who won't bother to learn what Bernie's plan actually says will see stuff like this and believe it. Misinformation works on those who don't care about facts.

  16. I've seen this meme making the rounds: First, Bernie's proposed TOP tax bracket is 52%, roughly the same as Ronald Reagan's first tax plan. It is for those making over $10,000,000 income per year, not anyone making over $29,000. Second, even if we assume this hypothetical was accurate, said minimum wage worker now has full health care (no deductions out of his paycheck, no premiums, no deductibles, no copays, no surprise bills, no limits).

  23. Not sure if anyone has seen these stats but he has made significant improvements at every stop. Special team efficiency rating S&P 2011 Memphis (pre-Rutledge): 115th 2012 Memphis: 60th 2013 Memphis: t-1st 2013 North Carolina (pre-Rutledge): t-31st 2014 North Carolina: 91st 2015 North Carolina: 8th 2015 Missouri (pre-Rutledge): t-93rd 2016 Missouri: 96th 2017 Missouri: t-5th 2017 Auburn (pre-Rutledge): t-59th 2018 Auburn: 41st 2019 Auburn: t-7th I think we have a major upgrade and a quiet but great hire.

  24. You are 'under'blowing his mental competency. And glossing over some very aberrant/abhorrent behavior with little girls. And even those things withstanding, he's a run of the mill centrist classic politician, which would be OK and fine enough any other time over the last few decades, but after the erosion and speed of decline ushered in by Trump, electing someone such as that would be bad for the country. If Trump took us downhill at 110mph, Biden will maybe only get us back up at 25. We need aggressive counteracting of the damage that has been done; not gracious political conceding of an ever further right-shifting 'middle'.

  28. Yep. While the lazy will still get their info via meme, even the most slightly curious will find this stuff and be better informed. I feel like most people who frequent P&R would benefit from this stuff.

  29. I haven't been able to shake this all day. $36B (a little over half of Bloomberg's 62.5B) amounts to $15,000 per month or $180,000 per year..........for 200,000 years. Is that crazy?

  31. My fear is more that it will create lesser care/longer lines-- Some of it might just be fear of the unknown but my current plan allows me to go to plenty of doctors and the coverage is good for my family. I just think going to the way extreme with healthcare reform could create a lot more issues than we know. Would prefer a gradual change.
