No, your argument was a straw man argument. Presidential debates are not the place for constitutional debates, but for policy debates. And you failed to name any candidates who provided us with wisdom concerning the constitution tonight. Maybe Cruz said something, but if so, it was very brief.
Name some of the great constitutional discussions from any past presidential debates.
I don't think he mentioned it tonight.
And it is a straw man argument, which is why I ignored it……..
I believe Huckabee, Christie, Cruz and Fiorina, all mentioned the Constitution.
And IMO, when speaking of their plan to fix America and lead this nation, you’re damn right the Constitution should come into play with HOW they plan on doing it. There ARE proper channels. And quite frankly, I’m sick and tired of this lassez faire attitude that the Constitution is a side note and not important. THAT is why we are where we are today. Too many take your attitude, and we get politicians that supercede, ignore and trample all over it.
Oh and to the comments about the Constitution:
CRUZ: I’m too agreeable, easy going.
(LAUGHTER)
You know, I think my biggest weakness is exactly the opposite. I’m a fighter. I am passionate about what I believe. I’ve been passionate my whole life about the Constitution. And, you know, for six-and-a-half years, we’ve had a gigantic party. If you want someone to grab a beer with, I may not be that guy. But if you want someone to drive you home, I will get the job done and I will get you home.
KASICH: ... If I become President because we’ll have a Constitutional Amendment to require a federally balanced budget so they will do their job.
CARSON: Well, obviously, you don’t understand my views on homosexuality. I believe that our Constitution protects everybody, regardless of their sexual orientation or any other aspect. I also believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. And there is no reason that you can’t be perfectly fair to the gay community.
FIORINA: I think it’s a wonderful that that businesses start a 401(k). The point I’m making is this, the Federal Government should not be in a lot of things.
There is no Constitutional role for the Federal Government in setting up — retirement plans. There is no Constitutional role for the Federal Government to be setting minimum wages...
