Krugman: Any Democrat, whether Warren or Clinton, better than GOP

[Adrahil]

Good column from Paul Krugman. I find I agree with him on almost everything:

It Takes a Party

[Stardust]

1. I agree--K and R!

...any Democrat would, if elected, seek to maintain the basic U.S. social insurance programs — Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid — in essentially their current form, while also preserving and extending the Affordable Care Act. Any Republican would seek to destroy Obamacare, make deep cuts in Medicaid, and probably try to convert Medicare into a voucher system.

Any Democrat would retain the tax hikes on high-income Americans that went into effect in 2013, and possibly seek more. Any Republican would try to cut taxes on the wealthy — House Republicans plan to vote next week to repeal the estate tax — while slashing programs that aid low-income families.

Any Democrat would try to preserve the 2010 financial reform, which has recently been looking much more effective than critics suggested. Any Republican would seek to roll it back, eliminating both consumer protection and the extra regulation applied to large, “systemically important” financial institutions.

And any Democrat would try to move forward on climate policy, through executive action if necessary, while any Republican — whether or not he is an outright climate-science denialist — would block efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions.

3. He's right

but he usually is.

4. Exactly!

This should be a no brainer.

5. Totally agree and he is talking about the general election not the primary.

[Adrahil]

6. Yes, of course, I agree.

Support the candidate of your choice in the primaries. In fact, I'd like to see Hillary have some competition. But this was mainly directed at those who claim, falsely, that electing Hillary is as bad as electing a Republican.

7. Kick!

8. The worst democrat is better then the best republican

And the best republicans have left or been kicked out of the republican party anyway!

9. one of the rare times I disagree with him

as in Mitt Romney Hillary Clinton I don't see a difference

and if he wants to irritate me like Rahm did go ahead but She owes things to the Oil companies the PX companies you can't be Liberal if your anti Environment pro 1 % as Middle as Obama is, Hillary is to the right of Obama and on most things (not foreign) she's to the right of Reagan and major thing above all I don't trust her Bill I trust heck Michelle Obama I trust. but not Hillary so she'll have to fight to earn that trust back. and well speaking of Mittens She keeps playing that and she'll lose

10. K&Rugman!!!

He spells it out clearly and to the point, as usual.
