Republican Debate VII

[Bawanna]

I hope it don't interrupt my Mash reruns. I try to stick to educational programs. Aw heck, gotta go, I'm missing Chip's....

Yes, I'm ready to see them discuss the issues. I just hate to see them rip each other too bad, so that Hillary comes along and knows where to hit each candidate where it hurts. It will be interesting to see how Trump handles himself when he can't set the rules, and has to play the same as everyone else. I'm thinking if a 2nd rate Hollywood actor can be a great president, then surely a successful billionaire businessman should be up to the task.

I knew Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was my friend. Donald Trump is no Ronald Reagan.

So, did I miss anything? I just wasn't motivated to watch last night's debate.

[jeepster09]

You sure did...

[JohnR]

Oh damn, what channel was that on? That's way better!

"The Donald" had a bad night. Nothing new just more of the same and it's wearing thin. Rubio won by a whisker with Cruz a close second. The fat boy from NJ did well, but not well enough. Fiorina and Dr. Carson barley had a chance to speak, but made some good points. Rand Paul made a complete ass of himself concerning national security. Kasich proved once again that he makes a good governor, but isn't quite presidential material. Bush showed improvement, but needs to show more. At least that's how I saw it

Not knowing what the nuclear triad is for Trump was super bad. It was just as bad as Carson not understanding what the debt ceiling is.

Hell, no politician seems to understand the debt ceiling.

As for "nuclear triad," I confess I don't know either. I know the US, UK, and France once were the only NATO nations with nukes, but this is a post-NATO world now.

Here's one analysis: https://www.understandingthethreat.c...slamic-threat/

Not much new since the last debate. I would say the people holding office had orders to attack Trump at every chance, plus they were going to attack him anyway as the front runner. They need to quit attacking each other and go after Obama and Hillary. I'm sure Hillary's and Sander's staff had their notebooks out, taking notes on what attacks on each candidate were most successful.
As it is, it was a bunch of he said this, and No, I said that responses. I think Cruz's statement about why they took out Quadaffi in Libya was BS. We were asked (ordered?) to take him out by the Central Bankers, for him proposing that the Muslim states adopt his gold backed Denali as their currency, which would deprive the Central Banks of millions or billions of dollars. Up until then, he was cooperating fully with US demands, and the country had the highest level of living in Northern Africa. Now it's just another country in shambles, up for grabs by whatever terrorist group ends up taking it over. Quadaffi was no angel, but there was no need to take him out, except the Central Banksters wanting his Denali to go away. Now some of the candidates are calling for a no fly zone over Syria, when the Syrian President has asked the Russians for help, including airstrikes against the rebels. Great way to turn up WWIII a notch, pitting US pilots against Russians in a no-fly zone. Who are we to declare a no fly zone over a foreign country we are not at war with, when we arm the rebel factions seeking to overthrow the government that has asked the Russians for help. We arm them either directly or by letting arms fall into their hands. Anyone wanting to let the Syrian refugees into this country, without knowing their intentions is an idiot. At least 10 to 20 percent of them are up to no good. Particularly these fighting aged men that come with no families. They are either cowards that won't fight for the cause they believe in, or coming here to cause trouble. Look at what is going on in Europe, that could be us in a few years. Parts of major cities off limits to even the Police, Fire, and EMT workers. I know not all the muslims are radical, but neither were the ones in San Bernadino, until recently. One statement that several repeated, was that we can't trust this government, and that is sure as hell true. I don't know how much electing a GOP president will change that, but at least it's a step in the right direction. I didn't see any major revelations in the debate to cause me to change the candidates I support. I did see some things that reinforced my opposition to some of them.

I didn't see anything new from any of them, just more of the same.....I do think it's high time for Bush, Kasich, Paul, Christie and Carson (give that man a cough drop) to get out of the main race as none of them has a grass hopper in a chicken house chance of getting the nomination and they are only taking time away from the front runners to really debate the issues.....I would like to see Carly Fiorina stay in and be the VP choice to get the female vote which may go to Hillary otherwise.....I am really liking Cruz as the leader and think he is the most Presidential of the bunch and would make a fine Commander in Chief.....

Trump still has the lead in the polls but give the man enough time and he will say something so off the chart to screw himself up and if not the GOP will arrange an accident for "The Donald" because there is no way they can allow him to be the nominee against HillBilly...

[DanTana]

Lets see what happens tonight.

[yqtszhj]

...nominee against HillBilly...

Hey watch it there. I'm a native hillbilly and she aint one of us. Calling her a hillbilly gives us gun toting USA loving reall hillbillies a bad name. She's a Yankee married to a cheating redneck. There's a difference but you probably weren't aware.

[DanTana]

Lets see how this pans out with no Donald Trump tonight.

[deadeye]

I'm not even going to watch it. All I hear on the news everyday is "debate". Going to watch something enjoyable as the media chosen "highlights" will dominate the news for days. Is it true that someone saw Biden's wife measuring the curtains in the White House today?
