    Oh god I remember this…

    Did he just not know that healthcare bills cost in the thousands and the only thing people have that would equal that in value would be their house or car? Or was he being facetious and just coming up with excuses? I can’t tell the difference between “stupid” and “evil” anymore.

      She (the candidate was a woman) was noted for being pretty batshit, kinda in the Sarah Palin camp. So she could say stupid with a straight face. There was no real plan to replace Obamacare, and everyone mocked her for the bartering thing.

      Just like everyone mocked her when she told a bunch of Latino kids (confronting her for being racist) that they ‘looked kinda Asian.’

        She also said she’s been called Asian. Is she actually Asian or was that just another racist comment? I’m guessing the latter…
