the warmth left the body. They would have it on a spit, don't ever think some of them don't want it. They do. What we see now is their pathetic game of smoke and mirrors being exposed, like the lie that they are 'strong on the military' or 'want smaller government'. Lies.

Their biggest numbers are from about 38-44; and 62 and up. It's fun to talk trash but do you know what would happen if the Republicans put half their base on cat food. SS is the third rail of American politics.

It didn't take a genius to know they'd do one of two things with an offer to cut SS from a Democratic president; either say yes and take the cuts, or say no and ride it right into the elections.

"It didn't take a genius to know they'd do one of two things with an offer to cut SS from a Democratic president; either say yes and take the cuts, or say no and ride it right into the elections."

...it doesn't take a genius. Everyone knew they were going to "say no."

As for the elections, there is enough time to call these "politicians" fraudulent assholes, that is unless the plan is to help them with their talking points.

they don't fool Warren, Sanders nor Grayson, and a slew of others, and this Democrat has for sure never trusted them.
