1. Um, no...

The only people who have been actively aggressively eliminating good paying Union Jobs are the Republicans since Reagan and the Air Traffic Controllers.

Name one policy promoting good paying union jobs by any Republican in my lifetime?

The gaslighting needs to be pointed out. The lies can not stand. They aren't false statements. They aren't refusing to endorse. The are flat out lying and prevaricating.

And Ted Cruz should worry about his role in the Seditious Conpsiracy and incitement to insurrection.

[StClone]

3. Good job of delineating this-Cruz is not much good at anything, in fact his education was a waste.

[DENVERPOPS]

4. The are flat out lying and prevaricating.

That is the only way RepubliCONs can do anything.......That is their entire platform.........lies and deceit.......

[SleeplessinSoCal]

7. and completely embraced by a brainwashed bunch of hate ridden voters.

[DENVERPOPS]

9. The only humorous part is

that their voters don't even begin to realize how screwed over they have been by this lunatic party.....

Actually, it isn't humorous, it is pathetic.........

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. Nah...it's kinda humourous, too.

Pathetic, but funny, to those of us with that kind of sense of humour.

[DENVERPOPS]

27. How about a joke

Trump has already purchased a cemetery lot for himself.
The Cemetery has already laid concrete over the entire area......
After Trump get's planted, the Cemetery fears they will never be able to get grass grow anywhere near his grave.....

28. A British sense of humor?

"Humour" -> The Queen's English

"Humor" -> American Bastardized English

2. Pete did very well. n/t

26. Taking on Pete B in real time is a bad, bad idea.

For almost anyone, let alone someone with no skills.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

5. Ted Cruz attempting a Gotcha question on Pete Buttigieg?

The learning curve grows longer every year with the unkempt Texan.

[czarjak]

6. Stand strong with the working class? Republican specialty since The Civil Rights Act.

[BootinUp]

8. Its hard work dragging half the country forward. nt

[Historic NY]

10. Ted how many Canadian jobs should we protect.

To bring their oil to a post in Texas to be sold elsewhere.

[canuckledragger]

23. Most Canadians don't want the pipeline either.

knowing that it transport the dirtiest, most corrosive crap they've pulled out of the ground here, Tar Sands bitumen. It's not even oil when they pull it out, has to be treated with MASSIVE amounts of chemicals and water to be upgraded to oil.

[Mr.Bill]

11. The first thing Pete should have said was

"Well, Senator, It's good to see you go on the record as strongly supporting unions."

[Rebl2]

18. Yes that

Would have been a good answer.

[Miigwech]

12. He looks prekeggers ... about 6 months? LOL

[SheltieLover]

13. K&R!

[oldsoftie]

14. These headlines are always so lame. I dont see anything out of the ordinary.

Just my opinion
Munster asks a question and Pete gives him an answer. This looks like 90% of the hearings we see with aggressive questions & answers between opposite parties

[HUAJIAO]

15. And we see Ted and Pete for like 1 minute and the rest of the video is that guy foaming at the mouth

gesticulating..... like all his other 'videos.

At least he could have a tree in the background.

[oldsoftie]

21. I wish we could put the laughing smilie in the title line!

[SunSeeker]

16. I like Brian Tyler Cohen's reponse better. Buttigieg was being too nice.

But then again, Buttigieg was trying to get confirmed, not win an argument. He's no dummy.

[SCantiGOP]

17. Pete is going to Sec of Tranportation

Shouldn't this inane question have gone to the Sec of Energy candidate?

[marble falls]

19. The Keystone XL is a major infrastructure project - that benefits Canada and and a handfull ...

... of US millionaires.

Let the Canadians refine it. If only their environmental laws would allow them.

[oldsoftie]

22. Well, the oil will still come. Just by tankers & rail cars. nt

[marble falls]

24. Have you read about tar sand?

https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/what-are-tar-sands


And why does tar sand have to come to a net exporting oil producing country like the US is?

The Canadians have cracker plants, let them refine that dangerous poop. We don't need it, we aren't buying it: we're just refining it for Canada because their environmental laws won't let them refine it.

[oldsoftie]

29. Yes, I'm familiar with tar sands oil. It was the next "big thing" several yrs back.

And they cant make a profit at $40 a barrel prices either

[marble falls]

30. So Keystone is scheme to make what they could from someting no one in Canada wants or ...

... able to refine.

And we haven't even begun to address the technical and dirty process of getting this environmental nightmare to Houston, Corpus, Baytown, and/or Beaumont.

[marble falls]

20. BTW Ted, all those sweet union jobs will be gone in a couple of years, the disaster waiting ...

... to come will be here decades. Dipshit.
