Huntsman looks like Desi Arnez.
*drink*
He’s good entertainment though
I’d vote for Ron Paul for somethings, but President is NOT one of those things.
The Harold Stassen of our generation.
Ron Paul now shown to hate the great one and is so angry at Republicans he will now be a 3rd party candidate.
Yes Ron is nuts and has to hold himself up to stand at his podium.
I don’t know who Steve Buscemi is.
So nice to see and hear RR again.
A gift from God to America.
I don’t know what debate you are watching but this one is lively with the candidates who did choose to particpate.
This is unfortunate timing for Paul. He just talked about why he opposed Reagan and he didn’t do much right, and then they run a tribute to Reagan.
He may be, but I’ve always liked him and I’d gladly vote for Santorum.
“That is hogwash. Rubio and Jindal are qualified.”
LOLOLOL Yes, you are right....each are guality Conservative people with good skill sets. I judge them to have the qualities I’d like to see in a president........
But the issue is Constitutional eligibility.
Neither meets Article II requirements.
Sorry bub, but the truth is painful sometimes.
Reagan Tribute - Miss ya, big guy!
Yeah, he looked like a dork.
I think Romeny (no I don’t like him) and Perry have both done well. So far, the knockout punch goes to Newt though!
Really sick of the Hunstsman propping.
Bachmann had done pretty well too, imo. Santorum and Cain aren’t getting any screentime.
I agree...Huntsman has the creeps...bigtime.
