Well now it all makes sense. Tim Ryan and his team are only interested in debating if they’re confident they can rig the system with partisan Democrat activists setting the rules. We have zero interest in joining a debate overseen by a former Democrat candidate for office and board member of Planned Parenthood, who has repeatedly smeared Republicans on her social media.

This is not about health, this is about honesty, it's either John Fetterman is physically capable of debating and is not debating because he doesn't want to own the statements that he's made, the radical left statements that he's made about so many issues, or he's lying about his health.

I feel like the whole gay marriage debate was a sham, when we were debating gay marriage as a country, the opponents of gay marriage were essentially saying this is going to lead to the sexualization of Our Children. It's not going to stop with just two consenting adults in a loving relationship.

When we were debating gay marriage as a country, the opponents of gay marriage were essentially saying this is going to lead to the sexualization of Our Children. It's not going to stop with just two consenting adults in a loving relationship, essentially we went from Obergefell and gay marriage to now sex changes for gay minors, hormone treatments, puberty blockers.

The question we should be debating and fighting over is how do we resolve those issues going forward? One side says I'm going to take from some to give to others. Fighting bigotry with bigotry is hypocrisy. if we remember, the goal isn't for Republicans or Democrats to win, but for communities to feel safer and our officers to feel respected.

If Republicans let us get on the bill, we can work out a process to have bipartisan debate and amendments, but if the Republican minority prevents the Senate from even debating some of these common-sense proposals, we’ll have to try to move forward without them.

I think Democrats have coalesced around the idea that if you're going to spend time debating the issue of college athletics, you shouldn't be limited to talking only about endorsement rights, my sense is that if the NCAA wants Congress to solve this issue of NIL, they're going to have to come to the table on a lot of other things as well.

If debates matter, Joe Biden wouldn't be the Democratic nominee, it is an opportunity to speak directly to the American public. So, of course, it matters for that reason. But Joe Biden is not the nominee because of his debating prowess and clearly the Democratic electorate didn't think that mattered.

It's therefore important to ensure that those with higher risks (of being infected) or deemed by doctors as in immediate need can get tested, i don't side with the view that everyone should take PCR tests regardless of their conditions.

When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it? Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist, has refused to back down from his comments arguing during Tuesday nights debate in South Carolina that former President Barack Obama had once praised the Castro regimes progress on education and healthcare. The Vermont lawmaker said there is a reticence among Americans to look back at Washingtons own history of overthrowing foreign governments and supporting dictators. It might be a good idea to be honest of American foreign policy and that is the American government helped overthrow governments in Chile, Nicaragua, and Iran, Sanders said in reference to U.S. support in overthrowing leaders in those countries in the 1970s and 80s. Sanders reference to Obama did not sit well with former Vice President Joe Biden, who claimed that his boss never embraced an authoritarian regime, while former South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg lamented that the candidates were debating about Cold War-era policies. This is not about what coups happened in the 1970s and 80s, this is about the future, Buttigieg said. Sanders comments about the Castro regime could play a large role in how he fares in Floridas March 17 primary. Sanders socialist identification and his willingness to praise leftist regimes have given his Democratic opponents ammunition to question his electability in a state with a large Cuban American population that remains fiercely skeptical of leftist governments. In Florida, where Hispanics account for nearly one in every five voters, that skepticism could present a major hurdle for Sanders in the states primary, and for Democrats hoping to win Floridas 29 electoral votes in November. According to an Associated Press survey, about a third of Cuban American midterm voters identified as Democrats. However, Democrats hardly have a lock on that vote in battleground Florida, particularly among the nearly 2 million Floridians of Cuban, Venezuelan and Nicaraguan origin. In 2018, Republican Ron DeSantis narrowly won Floridas governors mansion. While more than two-fifths of Florida Latinos voters favored DeSantis overall, a clear majority of Cuban American voters 57 percent cast their support for the Republican. Critics say Sanders needs to more strongly disavow Cuba and other authoritarian regimes. Its not just about Cuban American voters, its Hispanic voters as well, many of whom would never consider voting for an avowed socialist ....

For all the talk of the Senate trial being this very stoic, very measured, very deliberative effort, there will be just as much media focus and just as much debating outside of the Senate as of any other time during this impeachment process. The audience here is the entire American public if not the entire world.
