I'm surprised how much I'm agreeing with #JoeBiden in this debate...glad he is being more centrist.
#ElizabethWarren why can't we bomb terrorism out of Afghanistan? Bombs do an exceptional job at killing terrorists...
Hey hey hey #Trump promised to bring troops home and he actually did it, didn't he? I should probably fact check this...
#CoryBooker but if we don't use tariffs how else can we pressure foreign nations on trade?
Yep I agree with #JoeBiden China's stealing of American patents is a big deal. But it's not just China. For instance, Supreme India makes counterfeit Supreme New York products.
Tweets are not trade policy, but the method by which it is communicated.
Tweet as policy: I'll just tweet something and that will fix things.
Tweet as method: Let's do this about trade.
#KamalaHarris when did #Trump's tweets undermine international diplomacy? There's a reason she's not giving examples...
#ElizabethWarren's plan of forcing foreign businesses to raise their standards is an interesting policy. It could force Chinese companies to actually cut down emissions. That's a good thing.
#ElizabethWarren: giant corporations leave America when it's cheaper to operate in foreign lands.
Which is why many of them have come back since #Trump got elected!
Wow, who knew? HBCU students cheered when HBCUs were mentioned!
#BetoOrourke: Illegal immigrants who aren't violent pose no threat.
They actually pose an economic threat.
Yes! Yes! #BetoOrouke change the immigration law! I may not like the changes, but that is better than destroying the rule of law because you don't like the laws the way they are.
So, you can't say anything bad about immigrants without being racist, huh?
#AndrewYang: Rates of business formation are larger within immigrant formation.
Are those business run by those immigrants? Are they employing immigrants? My thought is they're chains that want to capitalize on the growing demographic.
#ElizabethWarren: ICE can't tell the difference in risk between a terrorist, a criminal, or a twelve year old girl.
#JorgeJames: #ElizabethWarren, how do you deport people if you get rid of ICE?
#JulianCastro: #JoeBiden wants to take credit for all of #Obama's accomplishments but none of his mistakes!
#JoeBiden said that the deportations was the best thing that could've been done at the time.
#JorgeRamos: Were you wrong to, with #Obama, deport record numbers of illegal immigrants.
#JoeBiden: We weren't putting people in cages, we didn't do those things.

Matthew 22:37-39 is my mantra:
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
But Phillipians 4:4 is my favorite verse of all time:
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
