2016 Republican Primary

[SDHornet]

Carly and my brown brother Rubio proved themselves to be the smartest of the bunch last night. They crushed it.

Trump gets credit for fending off all the attacks with the bias questioning, and for face stomping Bush when he tried to get an apology out of him. But, as expected, he reinforced that he is just a dog and pony show and has zero ideas on how to actually solve anything (he was all crickets when Carly and Rubio were crushing the foreign policy questions).

Paul pwned Christie again on Fed vs State's rights regarding the MJ question. I liked the irony of Christie saying how he would enforce Fed regulations on MJ but also turned around and said how he implemented MJ laws in NJ. So which one is it fat ass? Good on Paul for calling him out on his BS.

Lol at fat ass Christie saying no one cares about Carly and Trumps backgrounds after he bragged about what he did in NJ. He can go away now. No one is voting a fat ass for POTUS.

Herd needs to be massively thinned soon. Too many candidates that bring nothing to the table are still hanging around.

I don't believe Christie is against medical marijuana. He's against recreational marijuana.
That is what is screwed up about these debates. Not enough time to clarify something that should have been understood by people, including Paul. But he seized the opportunity to stick his fork in Christie.

[HI54UNI]

BTW, did one of the candidates near the end say "when Reagan ran against Ford"?

Didn't watch the debate so I don't know if it was said. Are you questioning whether Reagan ran against Ford? Because Reagan did challenge Ford in the 1976 Republican primaries.

So he didn't enough time to clarify that he's a pro-federal government nanny stater when it comes to weed?

Well there you go. I was 9 and I don't recall that one.

I was 5 so I don't recall it either. But I've read about it.

Scott Walker is fading faster than a cheap dime-store selfie.

[LeadBolt]

The field needs to get down to somewhere in the 4 to 6 range before I take it too seriously.

The Dems are easier to understand at this juncture. I would love to hear Jim Webb make some noise over there along with Hildabeast, Joe-Joe and Bernie.

Scott Walker is fading faster than a cheap dime-store selfie.

Yeah. Disappointing. Both him and James Webb have let me down.

Fiorina is doing better than I expected her to though- thats probably a function of the fact that she faced down Trump better than the others

All that said, this GoP field has two that would be better than anything the Dems can offer (unless Webb decides to actually campaign)

And since when exactly has being the "Better" candidate ever actually mattered..?

well being better than Hillary doesnt exactly set the bar high

we may well wind up with a Trump-Hillary election

and we will deserve them

Well, for the entertainment factor alone - I actually kinda hope we do
I can't even begin to explain how much I love Trump

I've come to believe that HE is exactly what this country deserves (and needs)
A President that is as completely full of sh!t as our Foreign Policy and Financial Sector

He is PERFECT

Is there no end to your cynicism? I guess the question answers itself.

I come by it honestly

I'd like to see a Rubio vs. Biden election. The Christmas Past-Christmas Yet to Come debate image would be awesome!

And his 50 remaining supporters have jumped on the Huckabee bandwagon.

Walker was a Turd in the Punch Bowl from the get go...
After he made alarmingly false claims about is work in Wisconsin he was flushed

Most of this is sideshow, and in Trump's case, a larger sideshow. Lots of candidates, but the only real ones are Bush, Rubio, Walker and Paul, and maybe in that order. One of those is the nominee and quite likely the VP nominee is in that small group as well.

You'll be able to make the same post another two times - I named four guys who could win, and I was going to be ultimately wrong on three of them. The Trump-phenomenom will have caught everyone off guard if it carries him to the nomination. I don't see any shame in being wrong if that happens.

Carly and my brown brother Rubio proved themselves to be the smartest of the bunch last night. They crushed it.

Trump gets credit for fending off all the attacks with the bias questioning, and for face stomping Bush when he tried to get an apology out of him. But, as expected, he reinforced that he is just a dog and pony show and has zero ideas on how to actually solve anything (he was all crickets when Carly and Rubio were crushing the foreign policy questions).

Paul pwned Christie again on Fed vs State's rights regarding the MJ question. I liked the irony of Christie saying how he would enforce Fed regulations on MJ but also turned around and said how he implemented MJ laws in NJ. So which one is it fat ass? Good on Paul for calling him out on his BS.

Lol at fat ass Christie saying no one cares about Carly and Trumps backgrounds after he bragged about what he did in NJ. He can go away now. No one is voting a fat ass for POTUS.

Herd needs to be massively thinned soon. Too many candidates that bring nothing to the table are still hanging around.

Thats like being the smartest kid on the short bus.

He'll still beat the shit out of Hildabeast if he gets the chance.
