DEBATES: Socialism on full display

After watching the first two Democrat presidential debates (it was painful), I’m convinced that it’s no longer a Democratic Party, but woefully a socialist party. It seemed to me ALL the candidates are of the same mindset. When asked to raise their hands if they favored giving illegal immigrants FREE healthcare, up went ALL hands! I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

We’re watching the Democrats transform our country into an ideology that’ll make FDR, Harry Truman and JFK turn over in their graves. It all started with Barack Hussein Obama’s reign and is now gaining ground by leaps and bounds. (reference “The Squad” for hard proof)

The question I have is, WHY? We are now the greatest country the world has ever known but Democrat candidates are hell-bent on changing us into something resembling Venezuela, Cuba and other countries adopting socialism as their way of life. Many of these Democrat candidates have become rich from our capitalistic system! I gasp when I listen to their chants for open borders, fossil fuel elimination, free everything from cradle to the grave (for starters) and no candidate mentioned our $22 trillion national debt or how much their pie-in-the-sky pipe dreams will add to it!

Oh, I know: Tax the rich. The top 10% already pay 80% of all taxes. But no worries — in 10 years we’ll all be under water. Folks, I don’t plan to watch these socialists in Round Three. Maybe I’ll watch an old “Mission Impossible” movie instead.
