Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        @paulkrugman I think his broader point is it is actually cons who demagogue the culture of those on the coasts - not other way

        No, his actual point is that bc a phd in econ doesn't see how elites denigrate flyover it doesn't exist. @paulkrugman

        How so? I'm saying @paulkrugman is not qualified to determine how flyovers are being treated. He's not.

        I'll also add that for some reason he's arguing abt coal jobs when only PA has coal. It dodges auto. @paulkrugman

        Well companies were saved. But therein lies the problem. It's not coal, it's also auto states that voted v Hillary @paulkrugman

        Watch tweeter pretend things are there when they aren't. Krugman did no such thing.

        Sure he did. "All recent policy disasters" has to include the millions who lost their homes to help out banks. Has to.

        Millions who lost their homes didn't help banks. Not prosecuting the banks helped banks. And you misquoted him to make your pt.

        Oh, silly. The quote is a famous quote from Treasury, not Krugman. It is proof it was an affirmative Dem policy.

        By pursuing a foreclosure policy that led to millions losing their homes over time, banks didn't go under.

        That's nonsense. That's like saying bad loans saved banks. They didn't. And not the least bit related to the discussion.
