I like how you conveniently chose not to mention Obama's insane spending.

I didn't ignore Obama intentionally, but the truth is the increase in the national debt under Obama was mostly due to the spending he inherited from Bush. Obama's deficits never approached Bush's heights, and Obama actually decreased the deficit dramatically, getting the trend back on the right track. Bush on the other hand was handed a surplus by Clinton and turned it into massive deficits. Clinton was the last president who managed to balance the budget. Trump has thus far increased the deficit each year of his presidency, despite running on a promise to balance the budget.

Ah of course, the man added more to the national debt than all the other presidents combined, but he's a Democrat so it isn't his fault. You clowns never take responsibility for anything.

Obama's party affiliation has nothing to do with it. He was dealt a bad hand by the previous president. I don't think there is any rational person that would deny that. No matter who was president during that time, from any party, would have seen large deficit spending. Even while he was fighting this economy in crisis, Barack still managed to lower the deficit considerably throughout his presidency, which is the right direction. Again, I don't think there is any rational person that would deny that. Trump by contrast, has the deficit heading in the wrong direction. Trump is running a higher deficit than the one he was handed by his predecessor, something Barack Obama never did. The current deficit is now higher than at any point since the height of the financial crises. If you want to get upset, get upset at Trump, who actually promised to eliminate the debt. If he continues on the pace he is on, he will have added more to the debt than Obama, and without a worldwide economic crisis to have dealt with.

I'll agree that Obama was handed a tough hand created by Clinton and Bush, but there's no excuse to add more to the debt than any other president combined. The type of mental gymnastics you are doing to justify it shows this is strictly partisan and team politics.
I will agree with you though that Trump is signing too many of these terrible spending bills.

Oh yeah, both parties have completely ignored the national debt for so long, we're going to be ****ed eventually.

What is a purity test? The guy in the video mention that neither Elizabeth Warren nor President Trump took a purity test.
And you mentioned President calling Warren out for being a lying crook well apparently she's lied again. This time about wine cave fundraising.

A purity test is a term for a standard applied to someone or something on an issue which an individual or group demands a perfect standard be met. Anyone can have their own purity test they apply to others. In politics both parties have their own that are generally agreed upon by most members of the said party. The most discussed is the issue of abortion. Democrats typically support choice, Republicans oppose it. Within the parties you can have factions calling for purity on any number of issues. This is when you see the regressive nature of purity tests discussed. It is simply not possible for any one candidate to meet every standard demanded by every side, so the end result is no candidate will ever be good enough. It becomes a self defeating measure. In that video, the purity test that Elizabeth Warren is said to be failing is one she applied to Pete Buttigieg. She is criticizing him for taking money from wealthy doners, when she herself has done the same.
