The Repub Debate


Recommended Posts


The more I think about it, the more Trump appears to be in this for the long haul.

 

Fox News has the largest viewership of any media outlet for the past decade. They've spent the last seven years building Obama up into this terrible, scary boogie man, alarmist stories every week. Donald Trump is just taking the audience Fox created with that fear-mongering and telling them what they want to hear, what they've been conditioned to hear, for the better part of a decade.

 

I thought he was in it for the long haul when he announced. Now I believe there is a tremendous possibility (God I'm even starting to sound like Trump) that he will run a third-party candidacy after that attempted political assassination. Apparently the word came down to execute Citizen Trump because that hand raising question, followed by Megyn's "why are you a misogynist?" style question, was a naked attempt to burst Trump's bubble––and no one learned anything they didn't already know by staging it.

 

Other than that, I thought the moderators did an excellent job with questions in that debate. They completely avoided climate change, student debt, income inequality, and campaign finance reform (except where Trump made an open declaration that the corruption not only exists, but he was party to it along with most of the candidates on the stage). But I'm a forgiving sort of person when you have ten candidates and a little under two hours to let them all say something.

There is also increased chatter that Trump is doing this to help out Hillary. I've seen more and more reports detailing how close Trump has been with the Clintons in the past, he had high praise for Hillary in 2012, and has really limited his criticism of her so far in this campaign which is odd. He and Bill also talked before Donald announced his candidacy. I know there are always conspiracy theories out there, so not saying this is definite, but the man has had many very liberal positions in the past, and it seems odd he would wake up in the past couple years and now be just the opposite.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist either. My guess is Clinton never once told Trump to run. He's too smart for that.

 

What he probably did do was indirectly encourage him by feeding his narcissism. "You know, Donald, they just don't respect your ideas like they should." Kind of like pointing a Frankenstein Monster in the direction of your enemies and letting him shamble on over there by himself. It doesn't matter if he implodes in a week or wins the nomination; either way it ends up working for Hillary.

 

And pretending Bill did intend this––which we can't prove, but say he did. What does it say about the Republican Party that it worked? You have to tip your hat. If Bill poured honey in Citizen Trump's ear, it was a masterful strategy.

Well that's the only way the Left wins the presidency. They don't even have a good candidate. Trump won't win the GOP nomination, but he will pry end up running independently and take votes away from the GOP nominee, giving Hilary enough to win from the rest of the people who will vote just because she's democrat.

Trump got his ass handed to him big time by Fox(Fascist) News, and that's saying something right there. He and his campaign mngmnt are evidently too stupid and arrogant to realize it. I never thought i'd live to see the day when I would be backing up Megan Kelly(and her xtra heavy mascara laden eyelashe), who I, until the debate, figured she--and many others from F(F)N--was a direct descendent of Hitler's Youth. She, for just a slight moment, appeared 'liberal' and almost human. It's good to see a Republican get eaten by his own and to see the racist, misogynist, narcissistic, megalomaniacal, ticking timebomb, bankrupted-himself-to-the-top, blowhard Trump get exposed for what he really is. If you like Trump, well, I suggest you check yourself before you wreck yourself.

 

Carsen should give up the political thing and go directly into standup comedy. Can't say as I've ever scene or known a black man who appears absolutely clueless about racism, but Carsen seems to be a 1st. No, Ben, racism doesn't exist merely 'in the brain'.

 

Paul(named after Ayn Rand): I back him 100% on his stand for the 4th Amendment and BOR and that's about it. The flat tax thing has be shown to be a disaster in the states where it has been briefly tried.

 

Rubio: seems like the most informed and prepared on most topics and is the only Repub to come anywhere close to Obama's level of oratory ability. In regard to the latter, the Repubs are sorely hurting.

 

Graham will 100% send your sons and daughters back to war in the mideast(add boots on the ground to the current war(s), that is), seems to be the basis of his platform, and therefore he basically commited politcal suicide the other night.

 

Christie basically lies whenever his lips are moving--well, he doesn't have a prayer anyway.

 

Walker is the Koch Bros/Ayn Rand 'aw shucks' Mayberry RFD boy and says everything they (hugely)pay him to say as his IQ of ~100 doesn't allow for much in the way of original thought within his cranium. "I dunno", is an 'informed' answer from Scott. He and his sponsors(handlers) are the destroyers of Labor, so if you care at all about Labor(I realize that's a stretch 'round here), forgettaboutit.

 

Fiorina: I'm really not seeing the hype here. I don't see that she brings anything innovative to the table. She's playing the business person card and, well, that's nothing particularly new.

 

But, in general, they're all mostly interchangeable--the idea of 'great variety of candidates' being laughable--offering the same ol' same ol' Repub(corporate) propaganda/agenda, and of course I would never vote on the Repub side, but I commend F(F)News for actually asking some tough and pertinent Qs all the way around. Also, the usual right wing obligatory invocations to the Christian God were kept to a bare minimum so the show remained watchable.

Ya. 4-5 of them.

 

If you think the Democrats actually have a shot at the Presidency you are purposely being naive. The ONLY way a dem gets in, is if Trump runs as 3rd party and splits the Rep vote. Thats the best the Liberal Socialists can hope for. Cripes, Obama might have a better shot at getting a 3rd term than the Dem's winning.

No, not really. Wanting something doesn't make it true. I'm guessing you thought the same thing 4 years ago and 8 years ago. The race, whoever the candidates are, will be around 50-50.

Don't bother. Most people don't trust statistics unless the statistics defend their own opinion.

No actually I knew Obama would beat McCain in 08. Also, the GOP had no good candidates in 2012...so I knew Obama would get his second term.

 

Just the fact alone that if Hilldog gets anywhere close to half the vote, then this country is gone so far down hill its beyond repair.

It doesn't matter how you feel, though. The candidates don't matter. People are so brainwashed it doesn't matter who they are. It might sway 1% of the vote. Other than that people vote for their party when it comes to the presidential election.
