One debate I'd love see

[Doc]

Ben Shapiro challeged Cortez to a debate, even willing to shell out $10,000 to her campaign fund as incentive, but she declined claiming he was "cat calling"

Now I'm not a debate fan, just not my cup of tea, but i am a fan of public humiliation. For that reason alone I would have tuned in. Shapiro is one of the best, and she is clueless. She is young and cute, full of pie in the sky promises to those who look only at surface and don't look into how its paid for. Well when every American pays taxes rather than just half, maybe some of her ideas could come to fruition, but so long as we have the majority of our citizens paying zero federal income tax things like Universal Health Care and Government paid college tuition are not sustainable

Example: The left often touts Canada's health care system as a model. Well, the minimum tax rate in Canada is 19%. so if you make $20,000 the govt take $3,800, you make $40,000 then fork over $7,600. That's every citizen. They all foot the bill, not just "the rich" who don't pay their fair share. Ditto for england, another favorite used by the left to promote the health care debate. Japan? 15% Germany? 14% (exemption for the first 8500 euros).

Tax everybody and then discuss all these "freebies" because then people realize they aren't free.

I'll pay her $10K to debate me on national TV.

There are a ton of absolutely stupid politicians, on both sides. But this girl has to be the dumbest person on the national stage. As I type that, maybe she's just the one who is most exposed b/c she doesn't have an entourage of actual smart people around her sculpting her every word. Biden is like that, man is a complete idiot, but he has a very capable staff.

She's an idiot though. Completely. Interestingly I heard that in college she was a believer specifically in Adam Smith.

I can only presume she is just dumb and doesn't know why she believes anything and just moves around, or she's full of it and socialism sells better. IMO she's just a very shallow person with limited ability to understand advanced concepts and is somehow in politics instead of on a reality TV show.

She'd get eaten alive in any real debate. She's looked awful against softball questions in sit down interviews, forget about how she'd look in a real debate.

All she has going for herself is her smile and the idea that there are almost as equally dumb youngsters as her that really do not know up from down.
"This" is the future of America? If so, oh my God, we are soooooooo screwed as a nation when these morons do start voting en masse.

I heard on the news every candidate she and Bernie publicly endorsed in last Tuesday's primaries lost. That is a telling statistic.
