Has someone been slipping Paul Krugman paint chips?
You can tell us …
What in the wild wild world of sports is THIS nonsense?
Today's column tries, among other things, to make the point that Republicans are way to the right of the public on economic issues, and even most Democrats may be a bit to the right 1/ https://t.co/aDUONkGJMd

Democrats are a bit too far to the right.
On what planet?!
Good grief, he’s fanboying over Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, isn’t he?
But in that case, why are Republicans politically competitive? Because of identity politics – white identity politics. Modern Democrats aren't willing to cater to the significant number of racist big-government supporters; Rs are 2/

Republicans play identity politics.
REPUBLICANS?!
You know the face you make when something is so absolutely bizarre and unbelievable that you think MAYBE Ashton Kutcher has brought back the show, ‘Punked’? Yup, just made that face.
I keep coming back to this chart, which shows voters' political orientation on social v economic issues. There are a lot more voters on the left than the right 3/ https://t.co/7khmiDMEOC pic.twitter.com/gzd73meXLQ

Well sure, there are always going to be more Pauls than Peters when you promise you’ll rob Peter to pay Paul.
What this suggests among other things is that Dems should welcome Republican attacks on "socialism" and all that. If the debate actually ends up being about economics, Ds have the upper hand 4/

D’s have the upper hand because of socialism?
Yeah, we’re asking a lot of questions because this is just absolutely and completely batsh*t, even from Paul Krugman.
I think the problem is that the words liberal & socialist have been demonized to the extent that no one even bothers to listen to the facts.

Sure, THAT’S the problem.
It also seems to imply that if Dems make social/identity policy the cornerstone of their campaign rather than economics, they're going to have a much more challenging time getting to the oval office.

That’s what the Left DOES. Everything is about color, sex, creed, preference, ability, persuasion … when was the last time you heard a Democrat actually talk about an issue WITHOUT making a reference to identity?
Yep, people like free stuff.

And then they realize nothing is ever really free and start voting for Republicans.
You’re delusional.

Beyond delusional.
23 trillion in debt, 200 trillion in unfunded liabilities, 200,000 illegals coming in a month & 10,000 ppl / day retiring, US dollar purchasing power since 1971 is down 90% or is it 95% yet?
There’s literally no cemetery you haven’t whistled past.

I love how someone who claims to know anything about economics is pushing socialism. Prof you are completely clueless and useless.

And clearly lost his marbles.
Trump may have finally actually driven Paul crazy.
