Cruz is hot trash

Only reason he won is because Texas loves Trump

as they should

Trump is gud

I heard Beto was not ruling out impeachment so that was his fault

That as well as rolling back the aggro ads and apologizing

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-46428579

but if Beto lost to Cruz due to Trump, it means Beto won't stand a chance agaisnt Trump himself

Its a sign of weakness to apologise for stuff like that

Yeah in that sense I can see what you mean

Bernie though

*oof*

He would DELETE him in a 1 on 1

tbh i don't see Bernie as that great a candidate in a "rep vs dem" debate

i recall that debate about healthcare he had with Cruz

He talks nothing but policy policy policy

Bernie was shit on it

Which is good

Umm I watched that debate Bernie did fine?

He hammered his usual points

yes he retreated to his "we must take on the 1%" level of arguments

The only points of contention where Bernie would be weak is immigration

Bernie is too nice for it

Is Bernie not right on that issue though?

depends on what factors you wanna go on

the 1% isn't like Scrooge McDuck where they just shove all their money into a big bunker and swim around in it,

the money of the 1% is whats swirling through the economy

I think if Bernie emphasised strong borders and small government only for small businesses and lower to middle class people

He'd be bulletproof

Nah, that Seattle incident shows he's too "nice"

he'd just step back in silence

I agree tbh but still

That alone doesn't discredit everything he's standing for

Its worrying for sure

But conflating confidence with competence doesn't end well

It doesn't discredit him,

But it makes him a stepping stone, meaning any of his "good sounding policies" would just be pushes aside by the democratic party that would've backed him

Im certain he wasnt confident in dealing with that situation

Not to mention, many flyover states are simply die-hard republicans

Bernie would have a hard time winning them over

But he's damn sure far more competent and sticks to his values harder than any other politician I've seen

He got a standing ovation from Trump supporters before and its not uncommon either

I think he has a great shot

He might've in 2016,

but Trump has proven himself to be one of the better presidents in modern history, if not THE best

Nah big disagree
