Chiming in after missing the first part of the debate:

Why did no one say “Absolutely not!” for women being drafted? Why didn’t someone at least say “but not for combat”? Phyllis Schlafly fought a long battle over this years ago when she defeated the ERA. Everyone waffled and talked about the RIGHT of women to serve. That wasn’t the question. Jeb said confidently “there won’t be a draft”—what does he know that we don’t?

Rubio the only one with an acceptable pro-life position, and it was clearly a pro-life crowd, so don’t be surprised if he wins over that one. Of course it’s not enough for me to switch my allegiance. The others who answered waffled and went after the rape and incest boogeyman.

Overall impression: The presentation was anti-Rubio. Democrats are after the powerful candidates. Mary Katharine Ham is not a Democrat—she was OK. Also ABC kept fading out. Now I have to watch the whole thing in rerun. Well, I probably would have anyway.

Can’t wait to read all the freeper input on the thread.
