THEY SHOULD QUIT

Tonight’s debate will feature a number of real presidential contenders, and a greater number of people who should drop out already. There are six candidates in the Republican primary who deserve to be there for various reasons.
Donald Trump, because he’s a giant political kaiju, tearing through Tokyo with abandon. While ultimately vulnerable, until he’s brought down, he’s tremendously powerful.
Jeb Bush, because love him or hate him, he’s still got fat stacks and a big network.
Marco Rubio, because he’s the greatest natural politician in the field, and if you think calling him “the Republican Obama” is an effective insult, you should go work in retail, not politics.
Ben Carson, because he’s the superego of the GOP to Trump’s id, and while his “campaign” isn’t much to look at, he’s a safe harbor for a lot of GOP voters right now who are sick of D.C. but can’t go the full Trump. (And you never go full Trump.)
Ted Cruz, because he’s got resources, and speaks the language of the intense conservative demo Trump hits, with slightly less cray.
Carly Fiorina, because she’s thrives in the spotlight, she’s still the most compelling voice against Hillary’s record, and her froideur is great TV.
Six would be a big enough field. Those six have to keep earning their place, but there are also nine other people on the debate stage tonight who don’t deserve to be there and shouldn’t be there.

I must admit that this was the first time in my life I’ve ever seen the word “froideur”.
Yeah, an exquisite turn of a phrase for a liberal rag!
Rick. Wilson. Ugh.
Just no.
No Carly.
She’s not been the subject of any news (good or bad) for over a month. She should be dropped from this debate.
Bilbo’s nephew, I think.
Carly does not belong on that stage.
Agreed these 9 now than Rubio and Jeb can go next month.
I can’t believe I’m agreeing with The Daily Beast, but the debate should only have those 6. It would be much better.
I know there are varying degrees of admiration/contempt for these 6, but they really are the only ones with a pulse.
Go Sen Cruz!
The Libs like Fiorina and Rubio.
Says all that needs to said about them.
>>(And you never go full Trump.)
I’m reading “ The America We Deserve” which he wrote in 2000, before 9/11, the crash of 2008, and the Uniparty coming out of the closet. It reads like a book of prophecy. We better go full Trump!
I love the smell of Schadenfroideur in the morning. ;)
Me too. 10 points if you can pronounce it without looking it up.
I must admit that this was the first time in my life I’ve ever seen the word “froideur”.

Same here - I had to look it up. The first time you see Carly, froideur might be an “asset” when you compare her to some of the other bumblers mucking around in the campaign .... after that, it is “off-putting” .... big time.
Froideur: an attitude of haughty aloofness; cold superiority.
Sorry Rich Wilson, Rubio is a loon. He didn’t spend 1 minute in DC before he jumped right into the beltway establishment hell-hole.
Sounds like: One who makes cold...eg a refrigerator.
You peon. karly has froideur or fodder or toenail fungus or something that a peon like you would never understand. {I hope a s/off tag is not required}
That’s the most effective ad the Democrats would have.
Show those nine faces and say “Do you really want to be a part of THIS?”
My sentiments exactly!
