The only real question for them is how long that chopping block remains a metaphor.

I believe the metaphor will become operational truth sometime after the next Election when Mrs. Bill or whomever the chosen of Hussein turns out to be is "elected," assuming Hussein doesn't stay. Moslems don't use "chopping blocks," though. Large Moslems use swords in the open air. Weaker Moslems use knives.

I wouldn’t vote for Fiorina for dog catcher. Even though she has some natural aspects that would make her better at it than most.....

I thought that FL Jebbie did better than in the three earlier gatherings, especially No. 3, but most say he failed badly again.

Definitely. Trump and Cruz. Cruz for VP to give Constitutional ballast to Trump’s muscle and nerve.

I totally agree although I’m torn about who should be Attorney General. Cruz would be so good.

I think of being pulled over by two cops, one male and the other female. The female is always trying to be the Marine looking to take down an enemy . The male wants to write a ticket.

He was going along fairly well, and then he hit that answer where he just lost his words...deer in headlight look...he shrugged, “you know what I mean” or words to that effect, there was nervous laughter and the debate went on.

Honestly, would the media be pointing that out today if it had been Trump or Cruz?

I can’t find where ‘chopping block’ was discussed. Can you help me out?

I think a lot of women just aren’t comfortable wearing the ‘costume’ of power; it never becomes natural.

There are probably lots of reasons for that, and not only ‘nurture’. Women are different from men; but there are also many different types of women, and I’m sure many don’t have this issue; but for others, the possession of worldly power and authority just aren’t things they particularly like or want, deep down; and don’t adjust to.

In other cases, they may not have the competence required, and develop unpleasant tactics to cover for incompetence.
We see that in men as well as women...

Cavuto interviews are the best out there. He does an exceptional job with follow up questions. Since cutting the cable, Cavuto is the only Fox personality I miss.

The best are on Fox Business. This doesn’t mean they don’t make mistakes.

Cavuto, Dobbs, and Varney can all go to the heart of an issue.

If you can point me to it, then I’ll be glad to respond. If it wasn’t really intended for me, then know that I’ve done the same thing, and that it’s no big deal. It happens.

she has become aggressive rather than assertive.

Well put. Small people usually turn to this tactic.... see the current WH occupant.

IMO, a good leader is assertive: "We're going to do this."

A small, trivial person is aggressive: "We're going to do this because I say so, and I'm the one in charge, here."

Biiiiiiig difference, people generally follow the former and mock the latter.

“Evangelicals who are supporting him solely because they think he’s a Christian and who think they’re “voting biblically” by doing so need to reconsider their opinion on the matter.”

I agree with you 100% on that. Many democrats disguise themselves as devout Christians even though their party leadership is downright satanic.

“He has an outstanding resume as one of the world’s greatest doctors ...”

I hope his primary rivals afford him the same respect.

At the very least we should embrace Carson as someone who could fill the ‘Bill Cosby’ gap. He speaks for morality and against race-baiting.

That’s why I say he’s part of ‘the team’ no matter how this primary shakes out.

“If he needs knocking, the “violent teen” history is plenty for me.”

A reasonable claim, but I’d take him or Trump or Cruz over some wolf in sheep’s clothing any day of the week.

I think all three of those candidates are genuine patriots and humanitarians.

I doubt the conservative credentials of some, but we should not eat our own. They’re in a contest, and one will win it, and the rest will not, but that doesn’t mean they should be destroyed.

Agreed. Cavuto, as exec VP, has done an exceptional job of attracting talent.
