If he wants to host a debate, what business is it of yours anyway?
Oh, drat....all 3 of them?
LOL, but those 3 try and make it look like they’re always the majority.
Why would Republicans want CNN and the other MSM whores to moderate one of their debates--it's baffling.
See how stupid you are, and how ridiculous your dirty diaper attitude is?
Oh, well, that settles it then. If the chickenshit liberals don't want it, why should we.
Aliens and their hybrid offspring may find their mileage varies.
Imagine that. Rush actually proposed this to The Donald recently but he kind of ducked it.
That right troopie? Tell us, compared to what he has done in his career so far, what have you done?
I thought Ron Paul was at his best tonight. In fact all the candidates were good and any of them would be 1000% better than BHO.
Mitt God bless him just cannot quite let go of even one precious agency of govt. He thinks he can control them.
I disagree
Ron Paul is more right than wrong
Never heard Huntsman referred to as a liberal. If thats what you are implying, well, doesn’t say much about your credentials. But than some just go where the wind blows. Should be a great infomercial for Trump.
Ron Paul has the same chance of winning a Nomination as Pat Paulsen did when he ran (and the SAME followers, in most cases)
I like this idea. I think it would attact a different audience - the audience of people who aren’t going to watch a debate otherwise. Those people need to hear the conservative point of view - unfiltered by the lamestream media. Plus Trump has established himself in their eyes as someone who picks winners. His fans will trust his pick. His endorsement of a candidate will mean a lot. However it ends up, Trump will make it look like he chose that person and his stamp of approval will mean votes.
It doesn’t matter if Trump is conservative as long as the questions are fair, everyone has equal time, and the candidates are given a chance to fully answer the questions. If Trump does that I don’t care about his politics. New eyeballs looking at our field of candidates is important and Trump will attract a differnt audience than Wolf Blitzer. It’s not enough that we are the only ones paying attention. The less educated need to start hearing about the concepts of self-governance, property rights, and freedom.
Trump should not be involved in choosing our candidate. There are serious issues to be discussed. Will he make them design a menu for a Trump Hotel? Eliminate the candidate with the worst design?
Why not have the Barefoot Contessa host a presidential debate?...her conservative track record is probably every bit as solid as the Donald's.
This is one big giant unfunny f’n joke.
All candidates should turn it down. It’s a really bad idea for us all.
If any one on here is part of or can send a message to other candidates’ campaigns, I hope you will consider telling them to say no to the Donald.
Right
Stay w Gary Johnson
He has a chance
Read his issues page. He certain is not a Conservative or a Libertarian.
...Government is bloated and there are other agencies that can do the same job. Their functions will not be eliminated.
Fact Trump said Paul has no chance of winning and that he is a nut or words to that effect..
...I didn't bring that up but, that's Trumps opinion.
...This is copy and pasted from your reply.
or you want drugs legal and Govt out of marriage
Well yes I would not want mothers marrying their children, men marrying dogs or men marrying little girls aged 9. Why do you not think there should be a law about that?
...Personally I have not or would not engage in those practices, including Gay marriage, but, it's not my business or governments place to tell someone they cannot using the force of a gun. As for drugs, same thing. Lot's of drugs are legal with a Doctors prescription, It's those untaxed drugs that are supposed to be bad? Horse crap! If we give them the right to do that, what's to stop them from telling you that you are now are required to do this?
As for God, Well sit down for this. I don;t go to church or read the bible so my views are not religious
...I'm agnostic so we can agree on this point, marriage should be for consenting parties like I stated before.
As for Paul, he has no chance of winning like Trump said. IMHO.
...The man is more liberal on some social and international issues than liberals and as far as he should run on the libertarian ticket not a republican one as his views as way out there.
...I would tend to agree, but, Paul is more conservative on fiscal issues than alot of the republican candidates and I don't hear any cries for them to run Democratic, except Romney and Gingrich.
...You asked me if I was drunk, no, I'm not pissed, just pissed off. I want to apologize for overreacting. My rant should have stayed directed at bigdirty for post #3. I appreciate your reasoned arguments, even though we may disagree.
“Never heard Huntsman referred to as a liberal.”
Bizarre, isn’t it?
Anybody who examines Huntsman’s record and proposals and thinks ‘liberal’ seriously needs to re-evaluate their definition of the word.
Pro-gun, pro-life, tax-cutter, huge approval ratings as governor of one of the most conservative states in America, doesn’t want the US to become overly-stretched abroad, supports the Ryan Plan, etc, etc,
Liberal? I think not.
Back on topic. Well done to Ron Paul for turning down the debate invitation. Both Paul and Huntsman are correct. No need to massage The Donald’s already overly-inflated ego any further.
