I hope you have seen Dollar Donald for what he is and x'd him as well. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь
Ben Carson would be at or near the top of my list if he weren't a True Believer Fundie. I just can't vote to make someone president that believes in magic and miracles. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
Fred,I'm betting it will be on YouTube by the morning. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
I don't know of a Jebby. Jeb Bush though was guvnah of Florida when Terry Schiavo was allowed to die of thirst. I think he was also guvnah when Elian Gonzalez was taken by jackbooted SWAT team members from his family in Floriduh.
http://www.drudgereport.com/now.htm **DRUDGE POLL** WHO WON THE FIRST REPUBLICAN DEBATE '16? BUSH 2.59% (4,684 votes) CARSON 10.25% (18,531 votes) CHRISTIE 1.44% (2,605 votes) CRUZ 15.54% (28,105 votes) HUCKABEE 3.52% (6,361 votes) KASICH 4.97% (8,987 votes) PAUL 9.52% (17,215 votes) RUBIO 9.76% (17,659 votes) TRUMP 37.84% (68,433 votes) WALKER 4.57% (8,288 votes) Total Votes: 180,868
JEB played it safe and looked uncomfortable when stating things he did not believe. Does that make sense:) I missed the earlier debate. Was that on PMSNBC? "When Americans reach out for values of faith, family, and caring for the needy, they're saying, "We want the word of God. We want to face the future with the Bible.'"---Ronald Reagan
I think Cruz, Kasich and Rubio did fine. Huck got in a few good lines to remind them he was still there. Walker did a good job promoting his record but was a bit somnolent. "When Americans reach out for values of faith, family, and caring for the needy, they're saying, "We want the word of God. We want to face the future with the Bible.'"---Ronald Reagan
True. But he steadily refused any urging to run third-party and explained it was futile, given the built-in advantages the two parties create for themselves to exclude third parties. A third party faces big hurdles just to get on all the state ballots and much of their money and time is spent on that while the bigwigs pour massive funding into the two parties, increasing their advantage further. Not endorsing your party's nominee is not the same as running third party after participating in a party's nomination process. And for all the whining over Ron Paul not endorsing the Stain or Romney, do you think it would have made any difference? Of course not. You're just whining to hear yourself whine over something you know full well would have made no difference in the 2008 or 2012 election.
Jeb recited answers. His team obviously made lists of every possible question and drilled Bush on them, right down to the exact phrasing he should use. Bush delivered his lines like an amateur actor, mostly in a flat voice. You could tell he was reciting. It had all the drama of a bad amateur theater production. Bush was a total snoozer. On FNC at 4pm CST in the same hall.
Fox moderators really wanted to knock out Trump early in the going. He got the toughest treatment given he has a big mouth.

Under the camera light I got the impression Rand has a tupee. Can't confirm this.
"When Americans reach out for values of faith, family, and caring for the needy, they're saying, "We want the word of God. We want to face the future with the Bible.'"---Ronald Reagan
Mrs. RLH crossed off Jeb after she heard his name mentioned along with common core. His answer trying to wiggle out of it doomed him with her even more. Mrs. RLH is president of my son's school PTA:) Interesting to get her perspective given she hates these debates. "When Americans reach out for values of faith, family, and caring for the needy, they're saying, "We want the word of God. We want to face the future with the Bible.'"---Ronald Reagan
Ok yes Trump started out terrible but had some moments where he was 100% correct. One was that the moderators wouldn't be talking about illegal immigration if he did not make a stink about it. He's right.

C'mon. A self-selected PollDaddy poll? You don't recall when I demonstrated how easy it is to slam PollDaddy polls with Bash scripting, back at LP? A very fine expose on how easy it is for techie types to manipulate self-selected online polls. I think Trump hurt himself. Maybe a 5% drop in the polls. I'd say that Cruz recovered some voters from him. And Huck helped himself with Iowa voters, especially the Fair Tax voters that loved him so much in 2008. I think Rubio lost ground and is wishing he hadn't given up his senate seat to run for prez. Rubio may be heading for the JV debate next time around. He's great at soaring Peggy Noonan speeches at a convention but not good at a debate. Paul was a wash (helped himself with younger voters, probably lost some older voters), Walker mostly a wash and a little boring, Kasich a yawn (but probably helped himself a little), Christie thinks he did great but I thought he looked like a bully again. I think Trump was the night's biggest loser, along with Rubio and Bush. Carson and Huckabee and Cruz (and Fiorina) were the biggest winners and move up and get more fundraising. The rest didn't hurt or help themselves much either way.
Walker is going bald too early in his political career. He won't survive SNL in the general election:)

Cross them all off the list Pete. They are all Christians who believe in Christ and His miracles. It should tell you something that the smartest man on stage is also a believer. There's always Hitlery. She's not a "fundy.":) "When Americans reach out for values of faith, family, and caring for the needy, they're saying, "We want the word of God. We want to face the future with the Bible.'"---Ronald Reagan
Cruz has been hardline on immigration throughout. So Trump was bombastic and got a lot of media attention but immigration would definitely have surfaced, even without Donald Trump raving about Mexican rapists. Trump took a major hit from each of the moderators. Baier hit him right off with the third-party question. Wallace hit him with his bankruptcies. Kelly tried to hit him with the you're-mean-to-girls crap and he mostly brushed that off but she definitely got him good when she asked how long he has been a Republican (which he dodged and weaved but never admitted his registration as a Republican only goes back to 2009. I noticed that in the Hannity post-debate interviews, Trump's hair had lost its 4-way combover plastered with industrial-quality hairspray. His hair was falling all over his forehead in cute bangs, making him look like an old, blonde and angry version of Twiggy (not that you're old enough to know who she was). Trump was thrown way off his game. He was sputtering, almost incoherent by the time he gave his closing.
I thought someone said Chris Matthews was a moderator at that one. "When Americans reach out for values of faith, family, and caring for the needy, they're saying, "We want the word of God. We want to face the future with the Bible.'"---Ronald Reagan
I think his general style and personality carries him past his little Hair Club For Men problem. But I could be wrong. I know a lot of GOP women like Rubio for no reason they can articulate. And, other than the quarter-size bald spot at the back of his head, he looks good with his new combover moussed look. But I recall that both Dan Quayle and Paul Ryan were supposed to be total chick magnets and how that didn't work out so well.
Yes women don't miss those terrible comb overs. The Mrs. pointed it out immediately in the Hannity segment.

No. Martha Blondelowcut and Bill Hemmer. They seemed a little lightweight to me but did okay, I guess. However, Carly Fiorina apparently left her victory at the 4pm debate and went on Matthews' show and tore him to shreds. Maybe we'll have some video tomorrow. No need to wait, HA has it up. HotAir: Video: Carly Fiorina’s attack on Hillary leaves Chris Matthews speechless
They kinda ganged up on him with Common Core. Bush was ready but not ready enough. His wooden rote answers sounded weak. It was one of the few moments where I thought Bush seemed remarkably lifelike. Otherwise, a robotic corpse.
It is being replayed on CNN and Fox News. The one who really did well was Fiorina in the early debate. She scooped up over 80% of the first place votes. I just heard on the radio that Fiorina left her debate notes at hotel and winged it. Fox (GOP central) has been dumping on Trump. He appears to be dominating a poll at Drudge. His performance could go either way. Megyn Kelly went out of her way to make things difficult for Trump, but had some difficult questions for all. I thought Cruz, Kasich and Walker did ok. I thought Rubio would do better. Jeb and Rubio seemed too scripted. Christie and Paul did not help each other, and Paul should have left Trump alone. Carson had a good closing. Huckabee had some good laugh lines.
She shut Matthews up. He cut and ran.
I'm not sure he ran but he knew he'd met his match. She didn't fall for his gotchas, went on offensive against Hitlery and was relatively immune to the usual PMSNBC War On Women attack memes he was trying to peddle. She's no half-baked Palin. She is much improved as a candidate since her 2010 Senate run.
Another self-selected poll. Worthless.
Or so they claim for career purposes. The difference is that Carson really and truly believes. It should tell you something that the smartest man on stage is also a believer. That even smart people can be wrong? Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
He's not used to sharing the limelight or having to justify what he says. Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
She handled him amazingly well.

Missed the main event . Carly Fiorina showed that she had a strong command of foreign policy as well as economic issues ,and that she belongs at the adult table . Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
I would take that as a sign he either doesn't really know much of anything or he was lying his ass off or both. Ahhh yes support the nimrod that the establishment nominates, where has that thought process gotten this country in the last 80 years?? Where did you pick up that $5 word at? :) 8 years of O'bunghole... and maybe even a Shitlary Clinton. I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Yes she did !! Good for her! Si vis pacem, para bellum
I was impressed with Carly Fiorina, as well. Not only the debate itself, but the way she handled Chris Matthews. My only concern - when she ran for the Senate in CA, how did she lose to perhaps the only woman in politics stupider than Nancy Pelosi (i.e. Boxer)? If she WERE to be the nominee, she would be running against the worlds SMARTEST woman, doncha know? (sarcasm tag /off)
She's a staunch Methodist and a believer who has a Bible Study circle. Pete will have to cross her of his list too.
That's pretty close to my observations as well. "When Americans reach out for values of faith, family, and caring for the needy, they're saying, "We want the word of God. We want to face the future with the Bible.'"---Ronald Reagan
Why are you so convinced Ben Carson is wrong about his faith? "When Americans reach out for values of faith, family, and caring for the needy, they're saying, "We want the word of God. We want to face the future with the Bible.'"---Ronald Reagan
Where did you pick up that $5 word at? :) Archbishop Stepinac HS in NY:) Had a buddy on the basketball team who always slept in AP History class and that word came up quite often from a Fr. Quinn. "When Americans reach out for values of faith, family, and caring for the needy, they're saying, "We want the word of God. We want to face the future with the Bible.'"---Ronald Reagan
Pete will have to cross her of his list too. I would love to attend one of those Bible studies:) What exactly is a 'staunch" Methodist these days? I'm sure she is not the original Wesleyan Methodist. "When Americans reach out for values of faith, family, and caring for the needy, they're saying, "We want the word of God. We want to face the future with the Bible.'"---Ronald Reagan
