Yeah i think if he said it once he could have walked it back after and said it wasn't a swipe at Joe's age, but the repeating it louder and louder was straight dickish on his part. But i guess if your podium is on the end, you gotta take your shot.

I guess i still have an image of a school teacher trying to get the classes attention while the class bully is making everyone laugh, and I expect the media to report on zingers, and unfortunately that's all Trump needs to "win" in the eyes of the public. Plus you ever try to debate something with someone who is dumb as shit think they know it all? it's pretty frustrating lol.

I'm not sold on M4A this fast. Especially considering medicare for the seniors in my family I look after isn't exactly wonderful. They have medicare advantage which is basically private insurance that they purchase though medicare at a low cost but Medicare on its own was pretty frustrating. Now this may change if everyone is on the same system, but telling americans you're going to take something from them and replace it with the thing you think they should have is a damn near impossible sell. M4A is a good end goal, but I think a public option is a better route as far as the next step forward.

Yeah definitely. I thought about it while watching but didn't think about it again until i read this.
