Republican debate (Page 6)

I realized why no one agrees with me in these debates.  I'm the only non-old person on here. Everyone is an old white male. 

and for the record THANKS ALOT for screwing everything up so much for us young whippersnappers.  Now let us fix it before the polar bears die and the government takes all our fun drugs away...........

That's not it.

The true motives to your support...  haha

yeah mannn, my son is like, so fast mannnnn, its like super rad duuddde. pass the cheetos

HA!

No....it'll be more like:

friend - "hey, where's your husband?"

wife - "see that little boat out there under that cloud of smoke......he's been out there for days and won't come in" 

Mrs. LB - "Yeah, he does that a lot too......his whole life revolves around smoke these days. He built a big humidor.  It's full of cigars and bags of weed.  Our freezer is full of meat he is going to smoke.  If he's not on his boat he's always smoking something.  He doesn't talk much these days, he just smiles a lot."

Four years....mark it down!!! 

Oh come now.  I'm not THAT much older than you.

I'm Jeff and I APPROVE this message.

His behavior in the Senate has been interesting.  The stuff he does is pretty commonplace in the House but the Senate has always "held itself to a higher standard".  Purely from a conservative standpoint the Senate Republicans have been a dismal failure and done nothing more than rubber stamp Obama's agenda.  So, this will likely play well with the conservative base that really likes Cruz, but for the masses as a whole I agree that it won't play very well.

I've been trying to figure out his whole campaign strategy because he's been extra chummy with Trump.  There's been a lot of speculation that he's already been selected as Trump's VP if he wins the Primary.

So, I don't think he's anywhere close to being through.  I think this will actually help him in the conservative edges of the Republican Party.

I have made it clear that I would never vote for Hillary Clinton because she has fat ankles.  I know it's shallow, I don't care.  

In the interst of fairness, I could never vote for Christie either.....although until now I couldn't really articulate the "fat ankle" reason, or a facsimile that caused me to feel that way.  I now have visible proof of why Christie is also a non-starter for me.

I warn you.......and I am going to drop it down so you have to scroll to see this, or not....they're your eyes and your choice.......what has been seen cannot be unseen!!!!

I didn't know you were such a fasionista LB, I know he wore white after labor day, but sheesh!

lol LB, you're so shallow.

I tired to watch but it was causing me physical pain

Because you didn't realize how much you agree with them?  hehe

THE BS LEVEL, ITS OVER 9000!!!!

Rubio did well, but he'll never get any traction in this political climate.  iCarly did well, but she had her moment in the spotlight and everyone realized they don't like her (including myself).  I would pay money to see her debate Hillary though.  
Christie did well, but similar to Rubio he's just way too far gone in this climate IMHO.

I think the big story of the night is how poorly Carson did.  He came in with a supposed lead in Iowa (still don't get that), but fell pretty flat.  Pretty much all of the conservative blogs were not very positive.  I saw several online (non-scientific polls) that had him near last place so I'm curious how that plays into the upcoming polls.  I suspect it will help Cruz the most if he starts falling.

Trump did well enough to the point that I didn't see any of his support dropping.  I still don't see anyone toppling Trump at this point unless he does something really whacky

I think most of the questions were tough, but fair questions.  The ones that really got out of line were questions like "Donald Trump, are you a comic book villain?"  and there was a fair amount of quoting things that one person said towards another and trying to force the other candidate to respond to the attack.  The debate was billeted as an economic debate to talk about economic issues (CNBC), but there were many times where the moderators were simply trying to get the candidates to fight.
Either way, the way they went about it helped the candidates tremendously because one of their big arguments has been that the press is out to get conservatives. In this particular venue they were able to quite successfully point the finger directly at them when caught in the act.
As for Obama's, I think his point is valid if everyone running is getting tough questions, but when you have the media outwardly rooting for one side and only asking tough questions to the candidates they don't like it becomes a concern.  Remember, the press isn't there to be a cheerleader for the DNC, it's meant to be an accountability mechanism that's equal and balanced for all.

As for the race overall I feel it's all but a lock for Trump and I couldn't be happier about it.  Jeb is completely toast and has zero chance, iCarly is toast, Rubio is the flavor of the month, but he's not going anywhere either.
