    on last night's Dem Debate. This artcile has to be pushing the record for most weasel words per paragraph ever. It seems the pretend progressive Warren is now their favourite..

    Elizabeth Warren came under sustained attack from her Democratic rivals during Tuesday night’s presidential debate, a reflection of the threat her ascendant candidacy poses to the crowded field of hopefuls competing to take on Donald Trump in the 2020 US election.

    Biden and Warren clashed in one of the most explosive moments of the debate, the first since she surged into a virtual tie with the former vice-president in many Democratic opinion polls. Warren also found herself the target of barbs from other candidates, mainly moderates, over her leftwing positions on healthcare, taxes and big tech.

    Surged into a virtual tie? Jesus. Talk about lipstick on a pig.

    The last line again frames Warren as this progressive superstar when she really isn't. I don't trust her at all and think she's Obama 2.0.

    Speaking of not trusting people:

    Biden, who has been dragged into the impeachment maelstrom by Trump’s unsubstantiated claims that he and his son were involved in wrongdoing in Ukraine, defended his conduct.

    “My son did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong,” Biden said, arguing that Trump’s baseless attacks revealed Trump’s fear of running against him in a general election.

    “He’s going after me because he knows if I get the nomination, I will beat him like a drum,” Biden said.

    In a marked shift from previous debates, Biden drew almost no criticism from his Democratic rivals in the wake of Trump’s sustained attacks on his family, which some voters worry have left the former vice-president vulnerable.


    Ahh the political class closing ranks when it's pointed out that they are just as corrupt as the dumpster fire that is currently in the White House.

    What a circus. Anything but Bernie is going to be no change and no hope.
