Watching the early debate.

Carly Fiorina first to launch a tactical nuke about not getting calls from Bill Clinton because she doesn’t give money to Clinton’s foundations.

I wouldn't get my hopes up too much about your Saint Cruz debate tactics.

I hope you supporters know the moderators are going to try to trip up Cruz because they know (unlike you Cruz supporters) he's never said anything negative about Trump. He's only been negative about GOPe members...And Obama. They don't like that.

I don’t know how much you know about Cruz growing up, but...you are spot on.

I’m pretty close to people who knew him very well in his high school debating days. They said after every debate...especially if they didn’t win...he and his partner would pull an all-nighter and go through every single utterance and determine if they could have done better.

So your point about how he has ALREADY anticipated the questions and fashioned his answers is not conjecture.

It is

literally

true.

Lindsey Graham basically declared that climate change is real.

He said he isn’t going to debate the science but will seek solutions.

I turned on the TV, and it was on Fox, so I just rewound the DVR while my iron heats up.

LOL, debate WHAT science?

Poor Rick Perry...it looked like he was trying to sort of strike a tough pose when he was introduced.

Perry is whining about not being on the big stage and bashing Reagan.

On the live thread, South40 said Perry called Reagan “Ronald Raven”. He replayed it to make sure.

Sheesh

Perry is struggling.

Some times you just gotta realize that you’ve reached your own peak.

Perry is struggling.

His presence in this race is about as irrelevant as would be that of Mitt.

Yesterday is gone

You know, when the TEA party first started Walker spoke at rallies. He talks about Reagan as his inspiration. He has governed very conservatively and at the same time successfully. We should give him some room based on those real accomplishments.

“7. He’s unnerving. “I remember him as a scary, driven machine who fought a protracted, bloody land war for total victory,” Niblock said.”

Exactly what we need a WARRIOR to smite the bastards.
