Yes, I sat through both the JV and the Varsity games.

“I haven’t said anything about me being the only one to do anything, so let’s try that.” Carson –said. “I’m the only one to separate Siamese twins. The only one to operate on babies while they were still in their mother’s womb. The only one to take out half of a brain, although you would think if you went to Washington that someone had beat me to it.”

“It seems like this election has been a whole lot on a person who has been very high in the polls, who doesn’t have a clue about how to govern, a person who has been filled with scandals and could not lead,” Huckabee said. “And of course, I’m talking about Hillary Clinton.”

“God has blessed the Republican party with many fine candidates. The Democrats can’t find even one.”

“...it’s sad to think right now, but probably the Russian and Chinese government[s] know more about Hillary Clinton’s email server than do the members of the United States Congress...”

“You know, I was asked once by an NPR reporter why I don't talk about race that often and I said it's because I'm a neurosurgeon.”

So, who won the debate? Who cares, as long as there was plenty of butter on the popcorn.

I heard that the DemocRATS are planning a “debate” between Hillary Benghazi and a “Cecil the Lion” look alike in an effort to get the college kiddies to put down their “smart” phones and focus on Hillary’s coronation.

Not a new idea here but Carly just might make someone a fine VP, both in the election and in office.

And that points to the disqualification of Ben from being President. Yes, he's a fine surgeon. And how does being a fine surgeon prepare you to be Commander in Chief of the US military? How does being a surgeon prepare you to negotiate with Congress to get your agenda passed? How does being a surgeon prepare you to deal with unfriendly foreign entities?

How would being a surgeon even qualify you to run a cabinet-level department with tens of thousands of employees like Health and Human Services?

Scott Walker has the required executive experience. Donald Trump has experience running large organizations and being able to tell when he's being bullshitted. Ben Carson doesn't.

Carly and Jindal should move up to the main event next time...

They can lose Christie, Bush, Kasich, Pataki for good or to the 2nd string..

Yeah, I thought Jindal was at least as good as Carly last night.

But the GOPe want to get the one woman on the stage more than the Indian guy.

It prepares you a bit better than being a "community organizer"would, I suppose.

“”It prepares you a bit better than being a “community organizer”would, I suppose.””

That bozo didn’t have ANYTHING going for him except the color of his skin and that was the only reason he was thrown into the ring. He has made sure everyone around him MAKING THE DECISIONS has the same agenda he does and the same way he made his cabinet picks. Ben Carson on the other hand has the intelligence and brilliance to have the RIGHT people advising him on the most important issues with NO DESIRE to bring down the country!

Totally true: the punch lines were priceless. If these gentlemen wrote their own- & I’m pretty sure they did, all would be excellent dinner/ golf/ cocktail party companions. Not a lame line in the bunch.

Jeb Bush, presidential? Not a million years. The poor man is still mired in the shadow of his brothers & father with pitiful self esteem. It’s painful to witness. Say what you like about the Clintons, but the Bushes are dysfunctional in the extreme. They’re like a family full of Gatsbys. (Willy & Shitlery are ‘’just’’ plain old sociopaths).

Be careful with Carly Fiorina & scrutinize her record at HP (& what’s the other one? news to me) VERY carefully. Hell hath no fury...

Yeah, but Ben Carson "acts white" so he's not a legitimate "black" candidate. /s
