Interesting announcement from another millionaire. I've never heard of the guy & don't know if that is good or bad.

A majority of those in Congress are millionaires. However, the real money is made when they sell what is left of their souls to become lobbyists.

Last year the Daily Beast said 50% become lobbyists when they leave office. Eric Cantor (R-PA), Henry Waxman (D-CA), Jack Kingston (R-GA) & George Miller (D-CA) all hit the jackpot when they left office.

Actually &amp; more importantly factually, Trump announced his re-election campaign on January 20th one day after be inaugurated. This allowed him to use campaign funds &amp; funnel them to his various businesses, Sadly, it is absolutely legal. His re-election campaign noted these bills in their FEC filings.600k to his various hotels35k for Secret Service golf carts at his courses400k to rent Trump Tower90k to Trump Corporation for consultingThe dummies donating to his campaign are being taken for a ride. Just because you can do something legally doesn&#x27;t mean you should. What a pathetic human being.

From a strategy standpoint....Dems should nominate a white male in 2020. They already get most of the minority vote anyway.
I don't care about party and vote both sides of the aisle....conservative economically, socially liberal.
Would love a former NSA, CIA or military person to be the next president. Between Russia and North Korea we need a commander in chief with outstanding foreign policy ability. Obama was weak in this area but compared to Trump he's Churchill.
God help our IC and military deal w trump the next 3 years.

Former President Obama and those close to him are reportedly encouraging former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick to run for president in 2020.

In a https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/12/21/democrats-running-for-president-2020/95651728/ Poll from late December, more than half the Democrats and Independents who were surveyed had never heard of Deval Patrick, but, of those who had, "10% would be excited; 15% against the idea."

You will remember Barack Obama lifted his ... famous refrain of "just words" in a 2008 from a speech Governor Patrick delivered in October of 2006.

America will be almost back to the future and anyone trying to go back towards "1984" and will be wasting their money/time trying to promise the deplorables a better way!

Trump is a businessman and the majority of businessmen understand the taxpayers are their money!

My question is. What do the Dems do to help the lives of  working men and women? I can tell you the following. They use the iron fist of the US government to force/mandate each citizen to purchase health insurance. They use specific  language inside the bill to destroy our healthcare delivery system by increasing the cost to the unenlightened consumer. Nightmare for a lot of Americans as the ACA is about to blow up. How can people and families afford this travesty of a bill?

StumpTownStu · Answer

Call me crazy but I think the citizens of the greatest Nation in the world should have access to healthcare. Every citizen. The ACA doesn&#x27;t work? Come up with something better. The Republican party, and i&#x27;m not picking sides, does not care about the American working class. Donald Trump, again, not picking sides, does not care about the American working class. Look at his/their track record. Where was this support for American workers when he was buying chinese steel as American steel mills closed down. Manufacturing products overseas. Hiring foreign workers, stiffing American workers. Busting Unions. Repealing the ACA isn&#x27;t about giving Americans choices and saving small businesses. It&#x27;s about saving money for large corporations.
