Are you saying we had a real, qualified president in the past 23 years? Don’t fool yourself. The only thing those guys were qualified for was campaigning. The argument that Trump is worse qualified than Obama is completely misunderstanding who Obama was. He never had a full time job in his life. They picked Obama off the street and made him president. If we can live through him. Its clear that our President is like the queen, a figure head. With Trump you are changing out the team behind the president. And that will be interesting.
I do like to leave the other side's rally/celebration threads alone, though. We like it when they don't crash our parties. :)

Oh no!!! Someone get my smelling salts!
“He needs the help. The man has no idea what he is saying about most of the issues and can’t remember what positions he has taken from moment to moment.”
Yeah that explains how he was able to build a 10B company while signing 30,000 paychecks on the front.
Some of these comments are Brain. Dead. Stupid.
He's an American!
Great post. Agree 100%.
Beagle8U replied: Yeah, and there were ONLY 12 other candidates on the ballot.
Yeah, yeah, I know - Honest... Ted ran out of gas. Ted... Ted had a flat tire. He didn't have enough money for cab fare. His tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole his car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T TED'S FAULT, YOU SWEAR TO GOD!
Oh, wait - Ted Cruz should have won his home state pulling away. :)
I'll point to one fact.
While Cruz, Rubio and Kasich were rehearing their lines and reactions, out of public view prior to the last debate, Trump was out campaigning. That's been the case for all the debates.
What I think is Trump has few handlers. I've noticed that Cruz and Rubio use teleprompters for many of their speeches. Trump uses a handwritten paper. The speeches of Cruz and Rubio are mostly the same. Trump, while using the same points, seems to give different speeches at every event, often times reacting to his audience.
No kidding. If the moderators can do that the candidates whould be able to do it too. Another thing - if the candidate gets just 30 seconds to answer - the moderators should be limited to 30 seconds to ask their questions.
Congress told him what to do, and he refused. Get used to it citizens..
Does not sound so good now does it?
Few things more satisfying than watching animal vids where after a huge pack of hyenas has been relentlessly preying on a female pride and the young lions....if the females are outnumbered they are morbidly vulnerable
And the male lions hear the call across the plain and coming running
Even if it’s just the patriarch by himself against 30-40 hyenas it’s a game changer
And he zeroes in on the matriarch hyena or her princess heir apparent and in one decisive crunch ends the reign and sends the clan scattered and leaderless
And he is pitiless
Then casually goes back for some fine dining or loving from his harem
That’s the real world as it would be with humans without this age of convenience and illusion of power for women
It can quickly revert to women depending on men for survival
Women forget that at their peril
Choose strong leaders....preferably male baring the rare exception
Fire away ladies
See post 124.
“As in previous debates, Fox News had explicitly informed the campaigns that candidates were not allowed to communicate with their campaign staff during commercial breaks, the sources said.”
Bwahh! Someone who doesn’t play by the rules. That’s what we need.
It’s a stinky opinion, remember opinion are like you know what....
You can buy an A from the bbb...
Their raitings dont mean squat.
Terrific thoughts.
Did you hear Joe Malone on Howie Carr the other day ?
Great conversation and basically boiled down to ‘Romney wakes up every day, looks in the mirror and is incensed that he did not win in 2012 and he’s obsessed with it’ ... surrounded by yes men, it’s basically that Romney is jealous of Trump and cannot understand why the dopey electorate would get out in droves for Trump (look at MA turnout haha) and not him.
Kind of measuring who has the larger hands.
Sometimes it’s as stupid as this. Amazing.
Of course he should.
Me*agan Kelly lied about him in her inference inside her question, and broke the rules by correcting the candidate herself, CANDY CROWLY sytle, with another lie.
Touche for TRUMP.
Kelly then no longer had available the false goods on TRUMP at her disposal. She had to announce the truth AFTER the debate, but she KNEW the truth all along.
Mitt Romknee’s running?
That’s news to me.
...and you know that HOW???...
Don't give them any ideas!
