She used to be a Pub iirc

yeah, she was a garden variety 'pub when her children were in school, so it seems pretty on brand. the weirder thing to me is sending your two children to different schools. i'd like the campaign to explain that, but they probably think saying anything just keeps the story alive longer.

Oh. Well knowing that she was a 'pub at the time makes it less funny. Thanks guys.

It's not weird at all. I'm sure money came into play when her son went to private school. She was a law professor at UT and had been for a couple of years when her son started private school. Her daughter was also already in high school at the time, I'm sure she decided she was good at whatever Austin area high school she was at, I'm sure it was a good one.

Ya know, the fact that billionaires are coming out of the woodwork to run against Trump makes him more attractive for reelection.

Katdaddy, you do know that Trump himself is a billionaire, right?

Every billionaire is a scum of the earth type that only care about other billionaires keep making money. They somehow feel Trump is a threat to their lifestyle.

He literally gave hundreds of millions in tax breaks to line their pockets with those tax cuts.

I don't know what threat(s) he poses to these billionaires, but it's enough to get them to run against him.

They're running against him because they think they can beat him because he's a lunatic. It has nothing to do with him being a threat to their lifestyles. It has everything to do with power/ambition. Bloomberg entered the race out of fear of Bernie/Warren and progressives that would tax the crap out of him.

Read American History for the period starting around the 1900's. You will find out that the presidential races were fixed by the ultra rich, and in reality it still is.

This ad just came on. Of course like everything else having to do with Pete, his critique is insincere. The proposal they are speaking about is free public education for all, how many children of millionaires are attending public universities? I'd bet a very small percentage and most of those are in the south and midwest. His television graphic says "free public college for 80% of students." Is that 80% of all college students or 80% of all students enrolled in a public college or university? If it's the former, that's all public university attendees, as far as the cost goes there's no difference. If it's the latter, he's excluding a hell of a lot more than millionaires from attending college for free.

steve dave · « **Reply #3864 on:** November 29, 2019, 03:05:56 PM »

It appears that a disturbing percentage of our population:

a) believe people worth $10m+ send their children to public universities.

b) it would be a problem if these people’s children got to go to public universities for free if they decided they wanted to for some reason.

Pete sucks. This is just another example.

memphis · « **Reply #3866 on:** November 29, 2019, 03:50:02 PM »

So Pete thinks Iowans are putzes who think that's a valid reason why Pete would be the right amount of progressive to govern? Or is that like really a thing people say as an argument against the viability of free college?

i think there are probably tons of millionaires whose children attend public universities. moving the cutoff to 10m probably thins the herd enormously.

Seems right but Bullock seems very low and Bennett seems very high. Since Bullock received the endorsement of the Iowa AG, he's been all over the airwaves. I don't recall a single Bennett ad.
