    The fact that people think you need to be dispassionate about debate has been the greatest gift con and bullshit artists have given to themselves.

    I thought it was funny and you can take the cartoon the other way, too.

    I would imagine they're worried about Bernie, given that he went through a debate as frontrunner with barely a scratch.

    Not trying to be argumentative here, but what is the other way to read this?

    And the cartoonist is a Trumper.


    My cartoons come from a right-leaning, libertarian perspective...

    or a libertarian-leaning, conservative perspective — which ever you prefer, lol!

    The Dow was rising steadily all the time Sanders' performance in the first two primary contests briefly made him front runner.

    Betting markets give Sanders eight times the odds of Warren, so it's odd that one market reflects something another doesn't. If you're right, there's money to be made.

    We'll know more after Nevada.

    If Warren gets first place, she's obviously the frontrunner.

    If she's in the top three, she remains in contention.

    The markets are not worried about Sanders, because they know he won't beat Trump and they will get 4 more years of tax cuts and no regulations.

    The markets are not reacting to Warren or Sanders. Most likely the impact of the Corona Virus.

    Also Paul, I'm not a Sanders supporter, but every poll has Sanders beating Trump.

    Betting markets are a different thing than the stock market. If the stock market reacted to Warren being the most likely to win, we would see it in the betting markets where someone who bets a dollar on Warren being the nominee would get an eight dollar payout.

    Yes, because right now both Putin's cyber army and the GOP are still treating Sanders with kid gloves, hoping he will be Trump's opponent. But if Baggage Bernie really becomes the candidate, oh boy...

    Eh, don't apologize. This thread is for debating and arguing. If I wasn't ready to prove/debate/discuss/etc. a post here, I wouldn't make it.

    Trumpers say McCabe got his card because media.

    Non-Trumpers say he got the card because he was not guilty.

    It's still a funny cartoon. I largely post ones I find funny, even if it mocks the side I most agree with.

    And it got us talking. Another aim for political cartoons.

    Here was my runner up this week, FWIW:

    You manged to hit a bullseye on nearly all of the conservative talking points.
    Giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you are fo real I would strongly urge you to step away from conservative media and do some fact-based research regarding all of the concerns you listed. I can honestly tell you that in most of this you have your facts wrong. You don't have to beleive me but please if you feel so strongly about them, go to the effort to research these things.

    They will do the same thing no matter who is the nominee. Make up a false controversy and with the help of the media, keep hammering them with it. Maybe even through in a fraudulent Senate investigation. Sanders, Warren, Biden. Buttigeg, won't matter. It's how Trump operates. Look at what he has already done with two non-stories. Warren's Native heritage and Biden's don. Even committed treason for the last one.

    Paul is just reaching to justify his opinion he based off nothing. There’s exactly one poll Warren is winning in and it’s for MA which is her home state. Unless literally every metric dramatically changes in about a week, she won’t be viable Super Tuesday
