Thank you for this information! I don’t want someone who “nuances” their positions for the moment and then “pivots” later.

In Trump’s case I tend to think he means what he says and he has changed his mind on various things - so have I - so I will wait and see about him.

Are you seriously suggesting that there have been more Google searches for Trump than for Stalin, Hitler or ISIS? Seriously, are you medicated?

Carly was the CLEAR winner in the 5pm debate. Loved Bobby Jindal as well.

Yep, agree. Maybe trade them for the huckster and Paul for the next debate.

...”What is going for Carly is that she is better than Hillary”....

That’s why the RNC has her in the race....an easy fit since she’s one of them....

Karl Rove’s relationship with Carly goes way back:

Here in AUGUST 26, 2010.....”While Republican Carly Fiorina is at a private club in Texas raising money today, she is getting ‘a boost from top Texas Republican Karl Rove’, who has unleashed an independent expenditure television ad to reward Fiorina for supporting tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas”.

http://www.lacdp.org/karl-rove-tv-ad-rewards-carly-fiorina/

And here in 2005....”Carly Fiorina: Karl Rove’s new friend to support Social Security Privatization”
http://www.lacdp.org/press/82610-release-ceo-watch-carly-fiorina-karl-rove%E2%80%99s-new-friend-to-support-social-security-privatization/

It is also why she was given the “winning” place mark for the debate....she had to win so they can move her up into the top tier...... Just ask ‘Carl Rove’ who couldn’t say enough about Carly, and in fact drew the Fox Host back to further comments after the fact...and admitted he was doing so.

Make no mistake Carly is RNC ‘establishment’.

One should ALWAYS compare apples with apples.

The searches for Trump were within a very short period, either during or immediately following the debates.

The searches for Stalin, Hitler etc. are not for a period of a few hours. Unless you have a link showing searches for Stalin within a 4 hour period were larger than searches for Trump yesterday, you are comparing oranges with apples. Never a wise or smart thing to do.

I will posit, all candidates are more or less establishment because they are all dependent on rich donors. There is not a single candidate among the 17 except Trump who can run a year long campaign without rich donors. Those rich donors are not interested in me or you or the middle class. The rich are looking out for themselves, to get richer.

Among the 16, Cruz seems to be more principled than others. He is less likely to say one thing and do another. However why does Cruz want to expand H1-b visa’s five fold and increase legal immigration each year? With 97 million adults without jobs, why do we need more immigrants? Could it be his rich donors desire the cheap labor express of H1-B immigrants?

Young Marco seems to think his performance belies mere numbers.

From his youtube channel about last night’s debate:

Marco Rubio Dominates Packed Fox News Debate
Marco Rubio 3,156 views

LOL!

I’ve already posted many times why Cruz wants HIB visas increased and so have others. Even Rubio mentioned the Global Workforce last night and people need to understand how that workforce is moving now....there are no borders in that respect.

When I say Carly is establishment it isn’t just donor contributions....she’s in bed with the RNC...Karl Rove and the rest of them....she IS one of them.

Carly isn’t pro life?

If the boss calls her an abortionist, the matter is settled. So, Carly Fiarina is by no means pro-life.

So the guy who’s been a Liberal Dim up til recent history and may just be putting on gloves to take the fall, has your vote? Well nice.

Walker has been a Conservative and has Governed and lead in such a manner. Cruz is a Conservative. Trump? Can’t trust him. Saying you can trust him because he hasn’t to your knowledge accepted any money when the egotistical megalomaniac more than likely is putting on a show? That’s kind of a rough situation to put yourself in.

why don’t you prove your initial contention that searches equal a fondness for. That’s the unproven issue in case you forgot.

I do not trust any politician under command and control of their rich donors who contribute 70% of their campaign expenses after 2010 and 2014 elections.

Republicans won House in 2010, and senate 2014.

Can you show me which conservative bills have hit Obummer’s desk and he vetoed? All talk and no action.

Any candidate who is fine with abortions after 12 weeks of gestation, will never get my support. No way no how. That life can survive outside of mother’s womb, and therefore must be given all protections necessary. The mother has no right to kill a fetus which can survive without her body. Even abortions under 12 weeks must be drastically restricted.

Walker as Gov. has Governed as a Conservative.

Fiorina was a business woman before deciding to run. Thing is, as far as I know she hasn’t stepped off her dream act wagon.

Just two examples of actual Conservative types that are running as Republicans that have never donated to the DNC, the Clintons or the Clinton foundation.

Trumps friends with the Clinton clan and has donated to them for quite some time. He’s easily someone the media will shred. He’s also someone who will basically step in as a gap measure to insure the win of a DNC member.

Trump has donated $10,000 to Walker.

Two most telling questions:

Kelly: “Exactly when DID you become a Republican?”

Wallace: “Senator Rubio, do you believe all those immigrants are criminals?”

What displays of class by the moderators.

That is why I think she talks a good talk but that’s it. I will vote Trump.

You take the top three, Trump,Cruz and Carson and you see how powerful the “tea party” faction is across the country. People are royally pissed off with establishment candidates.

My facebook news feed is burning up with anger towards FOX, exp. Megan Kelly and outright support for Donald Trump. The GOP-e took it in the shorts last night. btw, I didn’t watch the debate or any highlights(if in fact, there were any)
