    Except in my opinion they should be focusing limited airtime on real issues like ISIS and our economy or our national debt not whether or not rosie odonell is a fat pig. It was a childish line of questioning.

    The Rosie comment took literally 5 secs. Stop exaggerating. Everyone answered about Isis. And they talked plenty about the economy. Stop trolling.

    I watched the seven dwarfs get out of the clown car yesterday afternoon in the prelim, unpack their seltzer bottles and proceed to unleash a spray all around the place while they merrily tripped over each other. Some of the funniest moments where when Lindsey promised to unleash a full-scale ground war on Iran, Syria, and parts of Iraq aided and abetted with a NATO-like coalition of ME countries )including arming the Kurds), who are more or less, sort of our allies. 'course, this would take massive numbers of U.S. troops and support personnel leading the war inside Iran. This is supposedly to inform Iran that we didn't like that agreement about halting their development of a nuke and support for assorted terrorist groups. No idea how any of this would be paid for (I'll guess $2 trillion plus). Nobody disagreed with him.

    The there was Huckabee who believe the Supreme Court should read his Bible (because God said...) before they take the next case on abortion (probably gay rights too) and any other cases involving social issues or ones with which he disagrees. The other five weren't any better.

    Watched about 1/2 of the big clown car so far. Loved how Trump, right out the box, whipped it out and hosed down the moderators and every other candidate. Later refused two direct questions from Chris Wallace about "proof" that the Mexican government was directly sending thieves, rapists and murderers to this country. Refused to back down from stupid when it was pointed out that most of those Hispanics now are not coming from Mexico.

    More later after my stomach settles down.

    Like, Kasich, whom I liked, looked like a gutless wonder when he had a chance to confront Trump.

    OK, give us the ideas for defeating ISIS that the Republucan candidates presented in the debates.

    I found it funny that Bush still is trying to defend his retard brother on Iraq. Bush signed the deal to leave Iraq and somehow it is Obama fault. lol. Plus it seems these idiots are talking about starting world war 3. Fluff questions and they had pick who would respond to keep the crazies in check

    Well, to call Trump an idiot you'd have to prove he's been to 57 states, does not know in which hemisphere Hawaii is, thinks Austrians speak Austrian language and cannot properly pronounce corpseman.

    And yes, he's the only one who call illegal aliens illegal aliens.

    The more I'm looking at the field, th more I like Trump precisely because he makes me believe he'll do what he threatens he'll do. That must be a scary thought to the Liberals :)

    Fiorino was the big winner.
    She went right after Hillary and stayed on point.

    Yea, but she is a fat pig. So, there.
    I think asking him about women was stupid all the way around. Even his ex wife endorses him. So he cant be that bad a guy towards women in general.
    And like he said, and its obvious. Many statements were for entertainment effect and joking around.

    True. May want to get them lobes trimmed.

    There is no doubt that all the political hacks on both sides want Trump out of there because he is seen as a loose cannon who cannot be owned and operated by the established machinery that presides over the destruction of our way of life. Even with his flaws Trump is still seen as the only candidate who really means what he says. Fox joined the liberal media with that buffoon Luntz but it may not work.

    Kasich appeared as if he were a politician who had accidently wandered into an overcrowded shared waiting room for desperate job-hunting morticians and a discount talent agent's casting call for some spoiled brat's sixth birthday extravaganza - most of whom would eagerly accept either position.


    [​IMG][​IMG]


    Give that the GOP will go with (surprise, surprise) White guys, they could do far worse than putting Kasich on the ticket.



    Of course, the big winner was show biz impresario Rupert who appeared ecstatic

    [​IMG]

    over yet another shlock blockbuster whilst seizing control of the political wing of the Republican Party and putting it under control of the ascendant ideological entertainment media cartel.

    They came out to vote in droves for Obama, good luck getting them to turn out for Hillary. 2010 and 2014 proved that.

    I love this line from Rubio - "Well, first let me say, I think God has blessed us. He's blessed the Republican Party with some very good candidates," he said. "The Democrats can't even find one."
