GOP Candidate "I had cancer, I don't anymore because of our great healthcare in america, I won't let the government ruin healthcare." Dem - "Your health insurance, is a state run program, dumbass."

As a foreigner let me get this straight. The Republicans essentially ran the US into the ground, now they are about to be voted back in because they are selling themselves as 'not the same republicans'?

"We need scientific leaders. They might be awkward. They might be silly looking. They might not have such nice smiles and well delivered zingers. They might also actually dedicate themselves to the constant improvement of society, instead of ‘building an image’."

"Fox News is now essentially a Political Action Committee."
