    1. *HEADZ UP: TONIGHT ON CNN FROM 8PM-9PM JOE BIDEN HAS A TOWN HALL MEETING ON CNN & THEN FROM 9PM-10PM WILL BE ELIZABETH WARREN A’IGHT?! COMIN’ SOON TO YOUTUBE, MAYBE!!🆗✌😂😂😂*

    1. @Fake News CNN Lost to Nick Sandmann No that is the GOP…gang of pedophile….right in their name, plus if you look at past members you will see its pretty much true also…dennis hastert to name a big one, but there are others also that have been caught as well 😉

    2. @William H Music 2020 No, but it has to be humiliating to be a racist troll and try to divide the US when your home country sucks so much under putin doesnt it ;)….. did you see that vid where they hung his pic up in an elevator and the reactions to it…he is a laughing stock behind his back….ahhh dance the bear

  1. I too, am a survivor of the Bernie Bros.
    I have regained the ability to walk, but standing more than a few minutes at a time tires me easily.

    1. I lost my whole family to a vicious pack of them, I barely escaped with my life. Needless to say, I’m deleting Twitter now

  2. Hello, can you shout out District 145 in Waverly, Nebraska? My class loves CNN 10 and we watch it almost every day.

    1. @Whistleblower actually this is the primary, he is not wasting anything. This is when you actually can say your preference without consequence. Now come November, it needs to be blue no matter who till the trump-ites are all out.

  3. And like what happened to Costa Rica.., US Samoa gets left off his listing of them🤔 why, why does the US seem so weird like this..

    1. Sanders, is a longtime evangelist for a socialist ideology that has caused more human misery than any other idea in history.

    2. @ThE DuCk no duckie poo (said in a joking manner not a insulting manner) religion did that far before socialism..plus do not blame all of socialism for communism. Communism is but one form of socialism…there are over 30 different forms of socialism, some of which even use capitalism ;)….and if you want to yell about communism you need to specify also since there are 4 or 5 different forms of it there also. Just trying to add clarity to a confused world.

    3. @Dale Hartley Socialism is the enemy of charity because it outsources all compassion and altruism to the state. In an age when most Americans worry about and mourn the erosion of civil society institutions, socialism wants to supplant them all — to leave people atomized, dependent upon government from cradle to grave for material, intellectual, social, and (although it does not recognize them) spiritual needs.

    4. @ThE DuCk no it doesnt, it does not stop any charity, which come in many form. What is YOUR definition of socialism? there are over 30 different forms. which one are YOU thinking of?

  4. Little known fact Tuesday is my favorite day of the week and I tend to call every Tuesday super Tuesday. With that being said I’m very undecided about my future and my direction in life ☮️

  5. I voted-by-mail early in my state’s primary. No lines, free postage. Took three minutes. Signed up for free ballot tracking so they sent me an email that my vote was received and counted.

    1. Because Fox, MSNBC, CNN, Politico and the rest of the big ticket players are where all that campaign money ends up once the Madison Avenue hacks take their slice.
      The more contentious the election, the bigger the money, the more they charge to puff piece a paying candidate or air their ads.

  6. Every one of these videos reminds me of a teenager who just discovered the concept of uploading videos to YouTube. Except he’s an old man and for some reason people are paying him

  7. The media is playing the game of the Internal Light of the Spotless Mind with Obama’s legacy. Showing Trump as bad and Obama only as a saint.
