Yes. And when you make comments about Trump being my guy... and the republican party being my party, you are talking about me - not policies.

When you say I "can't figure out how to buy insurance" - you're talking about me.

In both cases, you're so wrong it's a little scary. If I said Trump was your guy - it'd be a bit more accurate as he has clearly supported policies that you strongly support.

Here's a policy for you... you just supported having bread lines over capitalism. You're as dumb as Bernie... and that's quite sad

In the past you were a staunch supporter of (R) and still espouse many of the same social conservative policies . Many people smarter than I are of a mind that 50 years of conservative thought and PR have led to Trump
Instead of revisiting those ideas that spawned Trumpism, people of your political persuasion have railed against Trump. The person
Not sure how pointing that out is a personal attack

When you say I "can't figure out how to buy insurance" - you're talking about me.
I say that in response to your claims of outrageous insurance hikes. Then drawing the obvious conclusion when you and you virtually alone have such exhorbanant rate hikes
there must be something else. Doesn't make you dumb or stupid -
Not sure how that becomes a personal attack

Yes, there are a number of policies Trump and I agree.
But my political leanings and the movements I have supported over the past 50 years did not unchecked create the anger and discontent of the Trump Movement. Anti Government, Anti Poor , Anti Immigrant -Anti Anti Anti...
That is being documented as we speak

We have a disagreement here. I think feeding people when there is food is mandatory (not optional) of a civilization. You seem to take the stand that hoarding by the wealthy is more virtuous.
Makers v Takers I guess
There are words available that define that form of behavior and I could turn that into a personal attack.
But, I won't

here is jsut one example of how you and your fellow travellers have created Trump.
I read where the inner cities are the mess they are in because of unions or race or ...
I say the profit motive is what hads destroyed the Rust Belt.
I will take for granted that when America was "Great"
This jacket was made in the textile mills of New England or Mid Atlantic States

What are these social conservative values? I am pro gay marriage (more appropriately, I'm pro "get government out of marriage and let two people do what they want". I'm pro drug legalization/decriminalization. I'm anti-abortion - yet I would never base my voting decision based on abortion because I know it will never change and it used a polical rallying call for both parties. I currently support a pro-choice candidate for government.

So curious which social policy you're referring to.

You can call them claims... you can call it outrageous claims. It is a fact my insurance premiums have nearly doubled over the last 3 years. We can argue as to the cause, but a fact is a fact.

If you're claiming I'm on the only one in the country who has seen health premium goes up, you're more delusional than I thought (and I thought you were the most delusional person I know already)

Anti Government, Anti Poor , Anti Immigrant -Anti Anti Anti...

Anti-poor? Anti-immigrant? Not me, pal. As I've said countless times, Trump is not my guy... I think he is frightening. I am anti-government... You may have notices, as the government has gotten bigger, we've gotten more people in poverty. The welth income gap has gotten wider. Our civil liberties are under greater attacks. And the war machine marches on. Perhaps less government would be a good thing for the poor. That's how I see it. I know you disagree... but to suggest I'm "anti-poor" is in unhelpful and ignorant analysis of the libertarian position.

We have a disagreement here. I think feeding people when there is food is mandatory (not optional) of a civilization. You seem to take the stand that hoarding by the wealthy is more virtuous.

I can't even take this seriously. You'd rather be food rationing than ample food for nearly everyone. I sure ain't wealthy and yet I'm able to eat. Unlike Bernie and his ilk have complained, Americans are richer on every level than they were. The rich are richer. The middle class are richer. The poor are richer.

Have you noticed that as government raises the minimum wage, automation seems to appear more and more for those low-skilled jobs?

Coincidence? Not at all. The minimum wage incentivizes and accelerates automation. The minimum wage is an unemployment generator. It is purely destructive.

In other words, if the minimum wage is $20/hr, but you don't have the necessary skills or productivity to earn that amount, no one will hire you. Sure, in a free country, you'd be able to offer your labor for less than $20/hr, but this is the new America. Government has decided that you're better off collecting unemployment checks.

Just as you don't like to overpay for anything that you buy, neither do other people. You're not unique in that respect. No one likes to overpay, and if someone is forced to, they'll only do so until they find a workaround.

Here's the key - there's always a workaround. The minimum wage incentivizes workarounds. It causes those who are entrepreneurial to get to work on creating workarounds.

No one overpays, no matter what the government says. People merely adjust. It's during that adjustment that government's laws always end up hurting those who were supposedly getting the "help".

One way that employers adjust is with automation. A machine becomes so much more attractive when government comes around with its minimum wage mandates. A machine will always be on time, will always do the job right, and will not demand "healthcare" or "access" to contraceptives! A machine won't steal, or get sick, or demand three months vacation.

How attractive do you think a robot becomes when government says that businesses must pay someone $20/hr when they're not worth it? It becomes very attractive.

And so we watch as one low-skilled job after another gets turned into a computer screen. Kiosks, robotics, and various types of automation are the pushback against the bully government.

There is nothing inherently wrong with robots or automation. After all, they free up people to perform other tasks. However, people who are laid off need a free society so that they can quickly find other work. Options exist in a free society. You don't have to jump through hoops, and neither do employers.

Sadly, America has shifted away from a once free society to one where the hiring process has become a nightmare. Not only does the minimum wage prevent people from finding new jobs quickly, but there are oceans of red tape and "regulations" that making hiring very cumbersome. Rarely can you walk into a place and get hired on the spot with just a handshake. Government has destroyed that.

Let us also not forget that government's debasement of the currency (via the Federal Reserve) and the inflation that it creates are the reason that people are having a harder time making it on lower wages. The Federal Reserve is the source of "Always Higher Prices".

So the next time you order fast food on a computer screen, or airline tickets, or any other job that people used to perform, thank the minimum wage.

It's the law that forces the employment of robots over people.

Polls have closed in Wisconsin. Sanders already projected to win. On the Republican side, while too early to call, Cruz has a lead in early polling.
 
Cruz's strategy to balance out his unfortunate looks is now apparently to just put a good lookong dude behind him.
 
Haven't done one of these in a bit. Wisconsin winners and losers.

Winners:
Ted Cruz: To use a sports cliche, tonight was a must win situation and he won. Appears he won in fairly decisive fashion.
Bernie Sanders: Six wins in the last seven states.
Chances Of Contested Republican Convention: The odds went up tonight

Losers:
Donald Chump: Perhaps could have put things away tonight. Nope
Hillary Clinton: How is this happening?
John Kasich: It's all for show right now.
 
Kasich is in it to go to the contested Convention. He will almost certainly have the party's backing at that point.

Bernie got the decisive win he needed, but with Hillary's Super Delegate Advantage, he cannot afford to lose NY or California.
 
Bernie just needs to keep winning states

the super delegates will change sides just like they did in 08 if that keeps happening
 
But that Socialist that says bread lines are good are a good thing is not the front runner and presumptive nominee.

I take it you have yet to see the context of Sanders statement . Like so many (D) that didn't see the context of "unqualified"
