One can visit Russia as a young man and be right about Trump being a Putin puppet, because he sure the fuck is.

I could do the following with just about every straw man argument and contrafactual hallucination in your rant, but I refuse to do more fact checking for your pulled out your ass polemic than this…….

So all candidates raised their hands affirming they’d have a plan that would offer coverage for immigrants in the country illegally. But the question did not directly ask if coverage would be free.

Buttigieg specifically said people would buy the coverage, and that it was "not about a handout." Biden in his answer spoke about the contributions of immigrants in the country illegally — and said that if they had health care coverage, they’d be reducing the cost of the overall health care system.

Our ruling

A Trump re-election campaign ad said Democratic presidential candidates "support giving illegal immigrants free healthcare at our expense."

This is misleading. The claim is based on a raise-your-hand type of question in a June debate. Candidates were asked if their health care plans would provide coverage for immigrants in the country illegally. All candidates raised their hand. But the question did not ask if the coverage would be for free. Two of the candidates who were able to provide context — Buttigieg and Biden — did not say it would be for free.

"I was a Democrat for years. But, Reagan said it best. "I did not leave the Democrat Party, they left me".

And it is happening again. There are many moderate Democrats that will say--""I was a Democrat for years. But, the Democrat Party, they left me. I just cannot vote for Bernie Sanders, because I do not see how we can pay for what he says we want".
