Anyone Watching the Debate? First out the door....Medicare for all. Here is how almost all of them plan to fund it...… About $`10,000 a year out of each American's pay check each year.

First out the door....Medicare for all. Here is how almost all of them plan to fund it...… About $`10,000 a year out of each American's pay check each year. Unless you are "rich" (undefined who is rich), then you will pay more (undefined how much).

I can't afford that. Who in their right mind would defend that?

I've watched/listened from the beginning...it's playing right in front of me as I write. I didn't hear anything of any sort of plan that called for $10,000 to come out of each American's pay check each year.

I guess I missed it.

well, that was an across the board (of the 10) idea.

Now they have moved to r****m. Idea is to get rid of white r****t, repreations (sp?), and changings law only for "people of color"--they would have separate laws and sentencing. Women would be exempt from prison….

We must be watching two different debates, though Beto did mention working towards r********ns.

Sanders said 5K, Waren said more and that happened right before the guy on the far right attacked Biden's memory.

That was Julian Castro that attacked Biden's memory. I believe he was wrong, as Biden had categorized when & why it would cost or not for the plan mentioned.

no one has lingered on it. Now we are into guns. I agree with the guy on AR 15, it is a weapon of war.

No one really said how their plans would be funded, other than mandatory deductions. I want to see the numbers.

The AR-15 is not a weapon of war. Its a civilian weapon.

Unfortunately...but as usual, expected...it is rare for these or any politician to answer questions directly. Beto seems to have the audience as well as the other candidates, lauding him for reasons stemming from his response to the El Paso shootings.

I'm not sure I've seen a real debate since the Kennedy/Nixon ones in 1960. They always seem to devolve into talking points and stump speeches.

Of course, it's hard to debate among ten people.

Good luck with that (real numbers) in any staged political debate.

Probably not certifiably. But it does beg the question.
