From a C&W song

“When the money gets big

People get hurt”

Or like the Cindi Lauper song, “Money Changes Everything.”

Agreed on most of that but Pete -> I agree that as a performer his can be impressive to some, but he's a smarmy little ... well bitch ... who thinks he's smarter than everyone, when really he's just repeating the same sing-songy rhythm in every sentence without saying anything. In some ways he's like George Will ... entire sentences designed to signal his intelligence without saying anything.

It's hard for me to judge what a democrat will like, and they have liked a lot of whackos, but I think Pete will not go far. He disdains everyone, including his possible voters - he seems to disdain the stupidity of all of mankind and as a consolation to himself has decided he can at least impress and therefore lead them (or be followed -> which are two different things.) Obama at least seemed to be able to hide his perceived separateness from (elevation above) and disdain for his followers. Pete doesn't even seem to relate to anyone. He just churns out sentences - IQ-signaling rather than virtue signaling. God help us if Lizzy the Virtuous had a kid by Pete the I'mSmart. That kid would not just get bullied, he'd be mobbed and torn to pieces in grade school.

Anyway - not disagreeing with you much -> I just think Pete's a novelty who'll be soon forgotten or maybe be like a Ted Cruz or Rand Paul ... a quirky sometimes contributor to his party from the sidelines, insufferable not just to many voters but his colleagues too.

Pete is a glib, bull-shitting dim bulb whose signature accomplishment is being a Rhodes scholar. Completely downhill from there. Even Bill Clinton had the political chops to become governor of Arkansas.

Credit where it’s due, but Bill Clinton would run rings around all of these clowns. He was really good at what he did, that’s why they called him, “Slick Willy”.

i’m glad these leftist bastards are feeling the same pain that I felt when we had Mittens Romney as a candidate.

Liberals have an exalted view of themselves... this food fight must have been hard for them to watch.

LOLOL! Most fun I’ve had for days! I laughed all night. I’m actually going to record SNL in anticipation of a hilarious opening. Gosh that felt good. What a bunch of idiots! Trump will eat any one of them alive. CHOMP!

Vote Bernie in the primary.

He is the best hope for a Trump landslide and getting the House back.

Watched two Dems on Fox News comment after the debate. They were very dispirited by the candidates having fully engaged themselves in a circular firing-squad!

Best debate ever—learned so much about the Bloomberg NDAs, Amy’s contradictory stories about why she didn’t know the name of the Mexican president, Bernie’s explanation that lots of folks have Vermont second dachas, etc.....

The D debates stink because the D candidates stink. If the commie- Nazi- leftist NYT says the debates are failures it really really underscores just how rotten the commie Nazi leftist D candidates are. This is why I’ve been predicting a surprise new SALABLE candidate will be unveiled - but it hasn’t happened so maybe at a brokered convention?

Notwithstanding Democrat disarray; the fact of so many protoCommunists who don’t even know they are useful idiots is alarming beyond all concept.
