    I think they still blame him for the mass shootings today because of cutbacks in federal spending on mental health care. But I think that is a real gray area as the field may have begun pushing more towards pills than putting people away. But if you say, "It's not the guns" then they say, Reagan cut back on mental health spending.

    But they do like to quote him from time to time as he was more moderate than some Republicans are today. They also note he signed a bill giving amnesty to 2.7 million illegal aliens but conveniently ignore that the enforcement arm of the bill was a total failure; the inclusion of which was key to getting Reagan's signature.

    In the end, they cherry pick what they like while vilifying him in general.

    HOUSTON — President Donald Trump’s rally in Houston next week with Sen. Ted Cruz and other top Republicans is moving to a larger venue, though it’s still not the biggest stadium in Texas.

    Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale tweeted Thursday that the Monday night’s event would now be held at the 19,000-seat Toyota Center, home of the NBA’s Houston Rockets.

    It had been scheduled for the 8,000-seat NRG Arena, but Pascale tweeted that ticket demand “has been HUGE and unprecedented!”

    My argument has always been the main change in this area was brought by the decade-long series of lawsuits brought by the ACLU (late-60s through end of the 70s) which made it near impossible to keep crazy folk off the street

    Who is the “leader” of today’s democrat party?

    Pelosi?
    Schumer?
    Maxine?
    Tom Steyer?
    Keith “abuser” Ellison?

    How anyone gives these idiots control is beyond comprehension.

    I know who wants to be.

    He is an Irishman, pretending to be a Hispanic, doing his best to sound like an African American, debating like a Scottish-German President, while carrying the baggage of an old Russian/Chinese political system.

    They all are. In many ways they are not as coordinated as we might believe. They are driven by such emotionally charged uncompromising ideals that speaks to their very being (and this is me assuming their ideals are pushed forward in good-faith; meaning it's not an act bent on inflaming those with an axe to grind against life and/or people more successful than them) that they will turn on ANYONE including someone on their own side.

    I've asked this question before, but who is going to jail for sending these voter registration cards to illegals?!?!?!

    This campaign commercial at least gets points for humor
    Elizabeth Heng’s ad shows Jim Costa walking in Nancy Pelosi’s "shoes" (Calif - 16th)

    Interesting that the Cruz ads give specific vote number and date when Beta voted for a $.24 gas tax .
    Beta's ads are pure drivel.

    Anybody initially misread this and think it would be about Jim Acosta?

    Major is a rescue dog. Someone threw away a terrific Australian Shepherd puppy
    He lived on the streets until Dallas Animal Services picked him up.
    He is a winner just like his namesake.

    I don't know what Cortez meant exactly but the idea is to rally states around singular goals to utilize all resources like in times of war. It is a bit ironic.

    I think building a bunch of tanks and rolling across Africa and Europe is a fantastic idea. I'm not sure how that helps with global warming, but hey, she's the socialist. She's much smarter than I am.

    (EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes I'm aware that she means retasking the entire manufacturing economy in the U.S. to create green energy tech. But that's too stupid to address, so I'm sticking with the "build a bunch of tanks" narrative.)

    There's a class action lawsuit against Beto for all the unsolicited text messages that his campaign has sent out. I'm thinking about seeing if I can get in on the action. I'v e gotten at least a dozen. That 12 cents I'll probably receive when he settles will come in handy four years from now when it's paid out.

    She probably thinks shooting back at the Japanese was a racist act

    Here is the Tucker - Cenk debate. IMO, this is a type of civil debate that has been missing in USA society for a long time
    Believe it or not, when I was younger, we would see partisans capable of political debate in public without the whole thing devolving into name-calling. But that seems like a very long time ago
    From my perspective, its rare to find a liberal willing to do this sort of thing today since their ideas are not easily defended. But this guy does his best (but he, of course, cannot resist bringing in a Nazi reference pretty quick)

    Anyway, it's pretty good if you have an hour

    I went to downtown Houston today and the scene is pretty wild. There are people are everywhere. And, of course, because they are conservatives, they were all in lines behaving themselves, smiling and having fun. The lines snaked everywhere. Some people arrived 2 days ago just to be sure they got in. The only thing Ive ever sene that could compare was the Astros World Series celebration.

    I saw this thing too -- it was playing disco when I went by

    I wondered why she talked about the Germans declaring us as their enemy as opposed to the Japanese. Maybe it's just easier to talk about nazis...

    Trump tonight in Houston --

    "If you want the Fake News to investigate Hillary Clinton we have to nominate her to the Supreme Court. How do you like that? Let's see how she does. If Kavanaugh had to go through what he went through can you imagine Hillary up there? 3-4 years of questions."
