Jeb! Bush:

You support amnesty and Common Core, you won’t undo the Iran sellout of Israel on your first day in office and – as we always expected – you’ve come out in support of more gun control. Since you have adopted Hillary’s platform, why are you running as a Republican?

It's a damn good question.

“Who’s more badass, Captain Kirk or Picard?”

Capt Kirk, no doubt and no question. . .women want him and men want to be him. . .Picard is a whiny emotional wreck, agonizing over any and all decisions.

Boxers or briefs?

Will you commit to ruthlessly annihilating liberalism wherever you find it? More specifically, will you commit to destroying all federal government employee unions? [/snip]
And Walker just did -- the writer is just a Scottbot.

If this is his only knock on Cruz, this concern can be addressed.

“I think you are a genius lawyer and a true conservative, but you are off-putting to people who aren’t movement conservatives and I fear your candidacy would be Goldwater II...”

Of course it’s Kirk. Some of these Republican Candidates are wishy washy morons, some may betray US citizens by siding with illegal invaders... but choosing Picard? Maybe some would choose him at the democrat convention.

Of course Kirk is the correct answer, but would Pataki pick him?

I don’t see where he throws anyone a softball. However, since Scott has stated he would, perhaps that is the softball question. Which came first though, his question, or Scott’s pledge? Since today is the first time I have heard about his pledge, I’m thinking he formulated the question before.

I was a fanatical fan of Star Trek TOS. From the first two part episode, I called TNT “star trek for women”. It was truly pathetic and I didn’t watch it much.

Would love to hear these question answered by the candidates..

Questions that each would not expect..

Question to TRUMP was extremely weak.. and only one question.. I can think of at least five.. more germane..

"but we conservatives don’t want normalcy anymore. We want vengeance. "

THIS. After being forced to watch the gang rape of my nation for 6 and a half years, I want the perpetrators mashed into paste. I want their slimy enablers frightened about what's coming down the pike for them. I want sustained, unrelenting offense. No delaying actions, no defense only, game management crap. I want my president to punch the left in the satchel EVERY DAMN DAY, like their Marxist wannabe god king has been doing to us for 6 and a half years. Anything less is NOT just not enough, it's insulting.

Good catch.

Not to mention the fact that although state public employee unions are high on the list of every state’s fiscal problems, federal employees unions are not up there in terms of causes of federal over-spending. That distinction lies with the politicians themselves.

Which means that Walker’s big issue isn’t so big an issue on the national stage... which might be one of the reason why his candidacy is sinking fast.

Right, so, media shill.

"let me just ask you this: Who’s more badass, Captain Kirk or Picard"?

Neither. Both Star Trek characters were designed as a mouthpiece to spout social progressive (marxist) propaganda.

Who is he shilling for? He seems to be attacking the majority of the candidates in an undeniably sardonic manner, whereas he does not attack Scott in that fashion. Instead he merely asked him a question, and a rather fair question for him at that.

I'm assuming you are for Scott Walker, though of course I may be wrong in that assumption. Could that be why you are exhibiting antagonism towards him?

I don't know anything about the man except what appears in the article about him, which is:

Kurt Schlichter
Kurt Schlichter (Twitter: @KurtSchlichter) was personally recruited to write conservative commentary by Andrew Breitbart. He is a successful Los Angeles trial lawyer, a veteran with a masters in Strategic Studies from the United States Army War College, and a former stand-up comic.

I will say this though, he is all wet with regards to this statement:

Why should I vote for you and re-fight the gay marriage battle that we’ve already decisively lost

Thus I take a lot of what he has said as jokes. If they are not jokes then I question his lawyer abilities. Because the Supreme Court ignored the Constitution when deciding the same-sex marriage question. Which leaves us in a Constitutional quandary. who decides when the Supreme Court makes an unconstitutional ruling? Who knocks down an illegal law by the Supreme Court when their functions do not include law creation?

Only in the eyes of a non-cultural conservative is it lost. One man one woman marriage is basic to the survival of America, the family the very fabric of society, anybody, any candidate, who surrenders the fight - as Kaslin apparently has - is a gutless coward.

In the overarching battle of good vs evil, the real battle, for those of us who have read the back of the book (Revelation), we know who is the winner in this fight.
