Bill Scher

Bill Scher: The track record for late-entry candidates is very poor. You don't have time to work out the kinks when you come in late.

Sarah Burris

Sarah Burris: George Zimmerman is suing for defamation even though he wasn't mentioned by name by either Warren or Buttigieg. He's suing for $256 million.

@SarahBurris

@RawStory

Keith Pochick

Keith Pochick: In Bloomberg's defense, if he continues to push the Dem nominee through, how do you slay the dragon without a lot of money? You need to accept the paradox. Anyone who knows you can buy a favor will support Trump.

@DemWrite

Chris Rowe

Chris Rowe: I served my country once, & I'd like to do it again. I'd like to serve people on behalf of my father. I hadn't seen him for a while; when I did, he could barely stand or speak--I found out he had medical issues & couldn't afford treatment.

Steve Woodsmall

Steve Woodsmall: In the military, I'd taken several oaths to protect the Constitution, similar to the oaths our politicians take. In military terms, they're in dereliction of duty.

Nancy Flanagan

Nancy Flanagan: Kids have to have a level of trust in their teachers before they're willing to put in a lot of hard work, so that's where you start. You start with, "I have high expectations for you & I think you can do this."

@nancyflanagan

@BadassTeachersA

Bob Ney

Bob Ney: There are some moneyed Dems who've been pushing Bloomberg on Facebook recently. In my heart of hearts, I can't imagine where the Democratic constituency wraps its arms around Bloomberg...He's done some things, like stop & frisk.

@BobNey

Sarah Kendzior

Sarah Kendzior: Warren is smart & savvy enough to see the corruption at play. I think we have a shot of digging ourselves out of this massive hellhole we're in if she manages to win.

@sarahkendzior

@gaslitnation

Ron Kim

Ron Kim: My parents came here as immigrants and opened a 24/7 grocery store. Ten years later, when I was in high school, they filed for bankruptcy. That has really affected me. They believed in the American Dream, worked hard for it.

@rontkim

Chuck Collins

Chuck Collins: Bloomberg's billion has bought him not only a spot in the debate but also a constituency, which is highly troubling. Rick: It shows how starved the left is for resources that they're selling their souls to buy what Bloomberg's peddling.

@IPS_DC

Joe Sanberg

Joe Sanberg: I think we'll eventually get to single-payer because there's only one industry that benefits from the current situation: the insurance industry.

@JosephNSanberg

@BusinessM4A

Devin Pandy

Devin Pandy: It is truly shameless the way Trump has treated Lt. Col. Vindman. It affected me emotionally the way Trump treated someone who was combat-wounded who was doing his job. If this is how he was treated,why would anyone else stand up against Trump?

@DevinPandy

@NDLB2020

Renato Mariotti

Renato Mariotti: We shouldn't paint all of Trump's [judicial] nominees with the same brush. They are cut from different cloth from Trump & he may not get the loyalty he's expecting. Rick: I hope you're right--lifetime appointments are a looooong time.

@renato_mariotti

Hassan Martini

Hassan Martini: Tomorrow is the last day to register to vote in FL. Get out & get registered, make sure everyone you know in FL is registered to vote. We need Florida!

@Hasyr84

Helaine Olen

Helaine Olen: I think Trump will keep the economy going through the election.

Mia Mason

Mia Mason: I'm a fan of a flat tax for businesses. I'm also concerned with retirement income taxes--retirees move to different states for the most affordable living.
