Biden floats an idea: What if we just gave Trump a free second term?

[Hawg]

A 78 year old Democrat with signs of dementia with a Republican running mate? cmon dawg... get him outta here.

[SuperNoah]

If a Republican candidate floated the idea of picking a Democrat for VP, it would destroy their campaign

[bigneon_glitter]

Dems on Biden: "Electing Jefferson Davis as VP will heal the Union."
Dems on Sanders: "bErNiE iS nOt A dEmOcRaT!!!"

Listening to Adam Green banging on about how important it is that Sanders supporters need to respect Warren's achievements, all I can think of is how much I miss Krystal Ball's input.

[stuffbrianlikes]

What we aren’t respectful of is Warren’s ill-conceived political calculations and lack of courage.

[rickesping]

We need to remind Mr. Green, a lot I mean a lot of Bernie's ideas and laws he has passed are ignored and left out. Warren's few and far between fade in comparison. Bernie has taken his name off bills in order to get them passed. That is fact.

[paineite]

Missing Krystal, but new respect for Ryan Grim on being able to offer intelligent questions and some thoughtful analysis. That said, "I WANT MY KRYSTAL BAAACK !!" LOL !!

[peternyc]

Ryan Grim's definition of technocratic, at 7:50, is absolutely spot on. Making changes to improve people's lives without confronting the power that lies behind the problems. In other words, treating the symptoms, not the causes. [Technocratic change is cowardly (my words, not his).]

[nesteph]

Good god that bald guy just sat and lied for several minutes.

[robing]

Ryan Grim is no Krystal Ball ☹️
No pushback AT ALL on Adam’s ridiculous assertions that Warren has somehow been a progressive champion and that the wealth tax was “her idea”. 🤦🏻‍♀️ KRYSTAL COME BACK!!

[Kasman]

Joe's next big idea, he is going to nominate his son Hunter as his VIP!

The medicare for all bill is only about 100 pages (S1129) and can be understood easily

Please, continue to tell me that Biden is the front-runner, and I will continue to disbelieve it.

[Blue-kefu]

This show isn’t the same without Krystal

[MSSIAH-]

Biden should pick Mitch McConnell! Lol!!!!

[del]

Warren steal Bernie talking points all the time. But this guy only cares when it happens Warren. Grim is a Warren champion.

[chuckwilliams]

Couldn't get Warren herself, had to settle for this mouthpiece, Adam Green?

[jts]

I love both Warren and Sanders but to suggest Warren deserves as much credit for moving the public debate to the lest is ridiculous.


She had a chance to stand for social justice is '16 but she chose to get in line with Clinton and her corporatist agenda.

[chetzmom]

There is a GIANT difference when Krystal isn't here to bring the rational TRUTH. Saagar feels a bit rudderless.
The amount of Establishment & Fauxgressive CRAP is nauseating.
