It's not that they don't have the guts. They'd rather ask one question and then go on a monologue for the remainder of their 5 minuets.

And Jim Jordan is the worst. I keep thinking, "Dude, there's an obvious follow-up question. Instead of launching a monologue, ask it."

He's got a Fox camera in the rotunda that he'd rather go to.

Why should they wait for the federal govt to assist?

Walmart if they want to, can go right ahead and pay what they think workers should be paid, and if that means they have to raise your standards for employment.. so be it.

Supply and Demand at it's best...

Yep, and there's a reason why there is a "worker shortage." The answer isn't that there's no one who wants to work, it's that no one wants to take those jobs at the pay rates those companies want to offer. Instead of those businesses just saying "well that's how the free market works guess we better pay more" they whine, complain, run chronically short staffed, just to keep from paying what the market is demanding to do those jobs now.

That's why i will always be a fan of Ted Cruz.. yes once in a while he gets caught up monologuing.. but more often that not, it's rapid fire question/answer compared to everyone else up there going for a photo-op.

I don't think Bernie is stupid, but I do think he is extremely dishonest.

He thought the USSR was nirvana in the 70s. He's a socialist in America. He's stupid.

The Dumb S doesn't realize that not even the USSR wanted to remain socialist. Unfortunately, they still remained dictatorial and calling it a presidency.
