That's a bad sign for the Republicans. Look for their voter suppression efforts to be massive come next November.
Voter suppression efforts?
Have there been any?
Sources and links, please. Thx.

Voting is, of course, easier than anytime prior to the last 5 years when a few places have really extended absentee voting. Registration is much easier than it was a decade ago. Democratic silly blustering is at an all time high.

Anything that can make Them get off the couch and go to the poles, the Democrats will resort to any tactics. Or at least have Someone else vote in Their place since No ID required in many places.

Sorry, we don't run our debates like you do.
We try to focus on issues. And solutions.
The only issue that was common among the cadidtates involved the word "Free". Too bad they didn't offer any solutions on who was going to pay for all this "Free" stuff.
WORDS/PHRASES THAT WERE NOT SAID A SINGLE TIME IN THE DEMOCRAT DEBATE:
LIBERTY
PATRIOTIC
STRENGTH
FOUNDING FATHERS
NATIONAL DEBT
ENTITELMENTS
ABORTION
FREE MARKETS
INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS
LOVE
***(Specifically in the context of loving America, or love for God or fellow human beings. Clinton did say, however, “I love Denmark”)
GOD
***(Clinton referred three times to "God-given potential, but said nothing about God in the sense of belief, and none of the other candidates said God in any context at all.)
WORDS SAID ONLY 1 TIME:
CONSTITUTION
FREEDOM
WORDS SAID A LOT:
WALL STREET- 25 TIMES
MIDDLE CLASS- 12 TIMES
TUITION (as in free, or in state for illegals) - 11 TIMES
Quote:Not once did they offer real solutions to the problems facing America. Only one of them, Jim Webb, seemed to have any shred of common-sense (he did, at least, used to be a Republican), but even that was limited.
Instead, all we heard was how everything needs to be free and the rich absolutely have to pay for everything. It doesn’t seem to matter to them that taxing the rich out of house and home wouldn’t be nearly enough to pay for everything they want.
We heard a lot about how all of them aren’t afraid to stand up to special interests, yet none of them can seem to stand up to Planned Parenthood.
They can rip the NRA (you know … that evil organization that teaches people how to defend themselves) to shreds, but they can’t even mention Planned Parenthood killing children.

The only solution They have is take from You and give it to some BS program They control the purse strings to maximize Themselves getting re elected by whatever means They can get away with. Nothing more.Create an endless supply of people totally dependent on the Democrats. All about the Freebies.

It got Obama elected...TWICE...maybe you guys should give it a go
Maybe so.
Then again, Obama has been such a failure, voters have turned the US House, US Senate, as well as multiple gov mansions and state legislatures red on his watch.
