Anybody Watching Republican Debate?

[vitterd]

I'm with you on Rubio. He was very good last night. He's been impressive in both debates. You are probably correct with needed Kasich to get Ohio. Fiorina could help a ticket I think. She handled the abortion issue about as well as you can coming from a pro-lifer. Honestly, I'm looking forward to cutting the fat. They need to get this down to 5-6 people to have a more meaningful debate. 3+ hours and 11 candidates is a total circus.

Still iffy on Carly....taking 100 million while firing thousands.....is not good.

If I was the head of Republican Party I would try to get these guys and gal all in one room and explain to them electoral math and why we need certain candidates. Have all drop out, except for chosen one, with promised positions in the administration.

but with all the ego's I know that is unrealistic. Because when it comes down to it.....I don't think most of them care who wins...if it isn't them.

Her HP legacy is certainly a negative. It all depends on how much people buy into the tech bubble bursting.

Yeah, getting these guys to drop out ain't easy. Have to wait for the well to run dry.

Except for the fact none of those things resonated or registered with voters relative to Trump dominating the debate.

I guess you thought it was cute how Carly kept interrupting to get in her rehearsed 30-60 second sound bites.

Probably Fiorina is coming in 2nd to Trump at Time & Drudge is because of sympathy support. Trumps very true
remarks about her looks may have been a social blunder & she was given a softball to defend herself & she did,
whoop-de-damn-do. Her rehearsed sound bites were dull 'we need to beef up to 36 marine brigades on and on
about her military expertise as though she was a modern day Douglas MacArthur. She always had to be stopped
from babbling on by Tapper.

The best line of the night besides for a few of Trump's was when she took a real shellacking from Christie, when
again she tried to interrupt him. '"Carly, listen. You interrupted everbody else on this stage, you can't interrupt me,"
Fiorina's face after that was priceless.

 

[vitterd]

Isn't his favorite charity the Clinton Foundation? Or at least until it became politically beneficial to "dislike" his good buddy Hillary?

Lol

amazing the dynamic Trump has created. The audience would be cut in half or more without him.

For all the conservatives who blame low information voters on the left......you have to be low information to buy Trumps sound bite bluster.

any of the guys you supported in 08 and 12 would have lost by a much larger margin. The further right the candidate.....the further away from the White House. It's pretty unbelievable that you wouldn't know this by now.

What's unbelievable is how the GOP allows these ridiculous left wing theories to smash them election after election.

In addition to every vote garnered by President Dole, President McCain and President Romney, a genuine uplifting Patriotic Economically Libertarian Christian Conservative will bring out every libertarian in the country, every conservative in the country, every God-fearing Bible thumper who clings to their guns and religion, every last hibernating Reagan Democrat in every town and city, as well as millions of true stay-at-home 'independents' fed up with politics as usual - losers ruining the country in every way.

A real conservative doesn't need to know "electoral math" or political speak because his or her message and common sense vision for America will color the electoral map red.

Youre wrong. Your thinking is completely outdated. What you're saying may have been true in the 80's and before but it's not anymore. The landscape of the country is very different now. The majority of people who look and sound like you.....are under ground.

Newsflash: America is still a Christian country.

It's why Kenyan-born Hussein participated in Rick Warren's "value summit" and lied his ass off about who he is and what he believes on national television - good-hearted salt of the earth Patriots who got caught up in the Hope and Change hype and were willing to give the foreign traitor the benefit of the doubt, while "war hero" John McCain sat there like a log and took it praising him as "a good man".

Then, in 2012, the GOP outdid itself and nominated...a Mormon. face)(*^%

"electoral math" ointer:

That's even funnier than your sports book balance.

For someone who spends all his time on multiple internet sites and social media.....it's shocking how little you know and understand about elections and campaigns.

America will never elect a far right Christian conservative. Those days are over and have been for a long time.

Electoral math is what counts in pres elections. How can you not know this stuff?

" I built a six figure bankroll"-- Sheriff Joe

 

[SheriffJoe]

We all remember Pastor Warren's value summit, don't we?

"I believe marriage is between a man and a woman"

"Answering that question is above my pay grade..." (said the baby killer who orchestrated the defeat of the Born Alive Infant Protection Act)

I'm a Christian"

America is paying a TERRIBLE price for believing this false prophet.

All this man (whoever he is) did his entire life is lie.

The guy makes the Clintons look like amateurs - how frightening is that?

 

[JDeuce]

It is like that, but how else would you want it to be?

I'd rather the candidates have to engage each other on issues where they have a clear disagreement much rather than drone on with no opposition. I like that push and pull aspect to the debates. They get plenty of time to talk uninterrupted during speeches.

10 candidates is a debate on steroids but it is what it is. Not really CNN or FOX fault.

Not suggesting it's anyone's "fault" per se. My point was that Tapper tool repeatedly tried to get Jeb and Trump to take off the gloves with each other, which is why the time was so unbalanced between all the candidates. Like I said earlier, I almost forgot Scott Walker was even there several times. What could any viewer have taken away from that? Nothing, IMO.

I don't know if there's an "ideal" way to do this with so many candidates at once. But what happened last night can't possibly be it. I'm not reading too much into any post-debate polls since I think a lot of people have already made up their minds. In other words, they think Donald "won" because they already plan on voting for him...not necessarily because he had the best night. I really don't know what's in his heart of hearts and how badly he wants this job, but there is some real panic coming from both sides about his candidacy. It isn't hard to figure out why.

Donald owned Jeb several instances last night, btw. My favorite?

Jeb: Apologize to my wife.

Donald: Fuck off.

Jeb: Yeah, you're right...we still cool, bro?

This is exactly how Jebbie would deal with Democrats, illegal aliens and other special interest groups who don't have America's best interests at heart.

I myself did not watch the debate because it was advertised as a sequel to WWE Raw and from what I’ve read, it didn’t disappoint.

As long as there are 11 candidates on stage all saying their rehearsed talking points, the debates will continue to be nothing more than a carnival act.

Make sure you get highlights from the correct debate because the debate our friend Arpaio here watched certainly wasn't the same debate I watched.

 

[MantisToboggan]

Both Trump and Cruz will still be standing at the end of this marathon (unless Trump bows out because he doesn't want the job?).

On Sept 17th 2015 the race is STILL Trump's to lose. Hurts, doesn't it?

Bummer, dude.

I came here in 07. 3 years later you showed up.

I have 17k posts, you have over 23k and all of them are redundant.

Why don’t you tell all of us how Acebb is 0-3 and Joe is 0-2 again for the hundredth time.

You have at least 300 baby pictures and other dumb picture shit. Now that's redundant.

Acebb is 0-3

Joe is 0-2

just think....if they weren't such losers and posted more picks.....I could update their records. They are mush gamblers just like you.

Not surprised that you and Joe have a difference of opinion.
