I'm surprised Michael Moore wasn't invited into that freak show.
Anyone who would give credibility to those celebs about political issues would have to be outstandingly stupid.

Michael Moore is smart enough to know not to get involved at that level. He predicted Trump would beat Hillary and he predicts that Trump will get re-elected. He might lean far left, but he is knows that the Democrat Party has a strategy that sucks.
Trump voters don't care if he grabs women's crotches, or rapes them, or shoots somebody on the street. In fact, the more the left criticizes Trump's sins the more Trump's base supports him.
It truly is the economy stupid and the dems forget that. How come Bill knew that, but Hillary didn't? WTF, Hill?
The middle class used to be primarily white and they voted democrat. As a voting block they could keep the minorities on the bottom of the economic ladder. In the not too distant future white's will no longer control the middle class -- if they still do? The trend now is that there will only be rich and poor. This is the demographic shift the Democrats seemed to have missed and Trump grabbed onto. Vast wealth disparity caused the French Revolution. The Rich and their children should be worried. Why do you think there is talk of Universal Basic Income. It's a pacifier to keep bread in the mouths of poor. Hungry people turn violent.
Capitalism is the best system for creating wealth, but the purpose of capitalism is not to spread wealth. Creating a system that levels the playing field for making sure everyone has economic opportunities is the job of government. Who can compete with Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and Google? In cell communications, Sprint is hanging on by a thread. Verizon was born of NY Bell and GTE. When AT&T was a monopoly their only serious competitor was GTE. So Verizon is basically the most valuable Baby Bell combined with their biggest competitor.
Contemplate this for a minute: Jeff Bezos lost half his wealth in the divorce. He is still the richest man in the world.
Like I said, it truly is the economy, stupid.
Poor white males don't give a shit about the stock market. They can't afford to own stock. They probably have never had a brokerage account. What they care about are jobs. They will vote for the person who will help them get back the jobs that were lost to South and Central American migrants. The belief is that if you get rid of the migrant problem then more jobs will be available to white lower income people and at a higher wage than migrants are willing to accept. Migrants are willing to come to the U.S. and work low paying jobs because it is better than what they were getting in their homeland. They will keep coming to the U.S. even if it means having many people living in a small apartment and working multiple minimum wage jobs. They do it because it gives them hope.
It's all about hope. Remember Hope and Change? That got a half black / half white man elected president of the U.S.
What "HOPE" is Biden dishing out? I "HOPE" he doesn't win the nomination! How's that for some HOPE!?
The book "The Dhando Investor" tells the story of how a poor, but senior member of the Patel family of India came to the U.S. and bought an old mom and pop motel off the beaten path that had lost market share to the big hotel chains along major highways. The Patel family would live in one unit, make all their owns meals, clean all the rooms themselves, and rent the very modest rooms cheaply. Their return on investment was much better than they would get in the stock market. They bought the run down motels dirt cheap. Everything was a write-off. This meant their taxes were very low and their return on investment was high. They could then sell the property or repeat the process. In just a generation or two, the Patels have become the largest hotel owners in the United States.
How many Americans born in the United States are willing to do what the Patels did? That's part of the problem. Some migrants are prospering, and while other migrants are not necessarily prospering, they're doing better than they were while they were in their own country where crime is rampant. Meanwhile individuals who were born and raised in the U.S. are getting left behind.
But I digress.
Hillary jumped into bed with Goldman Sachs for a half a million dollar speaking fee and that was the kiss of death for her political career. She had no credibility. You can't take money from banks and then turn around and say you are going to put tight restrictions on banks. Voters weren't born yesterday.
Bernie resonated more with liberal voters than Hillary and maybe some middle-of-the-road Trump voters who hated Hillary would have voted for Bernie and his policies. If not for the powers that be in the Dem party Bernie might be president. It's no accident that OAC and Liz Warren are getting lots of traction. Bernie had a shot, but Warren probably took away his voting block.
Biden is DOA. He is more out of touch than Hillary.
Before tonight's debate happens, I make Warren the favorite for the Dem nomination. We'll see how it goes. If she comes out on top and grabs an early lead, she could be the Lone Speed in a Turf Marathon. Lone F's are dangerous and a good bet at long odds.
. I was willing to give BO a fare chance after we loss 
. The No Lobbyist appointment reversal shot himself in the foot while it was still in his mouth 
. Yep another BS'er full of it... BO fitting cause he stinks on ice.
