Yes, dearest, we’ve seen quite a number of Elections and I think it’s time for us to ENJOY one!
They are ALL ABANDONING SHIP on Jeb.
The new GOPe is Rubio.
He is just Jeb II.... Same Establishment guy but looks and sounds better.
If you pull Paul’s numbers Cruz goes to 25% and Trump goes to 45%.
Paul has folks gaming the polls IMO.
15%? No way...
NO ONE is going to get elected in America by telling the people they need to get USED TO lower salaries..
it may be true, but... you can’t get elected saying that.
it was an AWFUL way to start the night for Trump.
He had a couple of other poor moments.. even got BOOED by the crowd at one point. But, finished strongly.
That’s the way I saw it.
Paul seemed to have a group gaming the poll over at Drudge.
15%? 16% here. What’s up with that? Isnât he a 1%er?
Ron Paulbots?
I find though that Rubio (while he may be a lightweight) continues to perform better than expected.
The Syria No Fly Zone and the idiots who (knee-jerk) think that works against anyone with real jets, died tonight.
Yes, he has a debate coach now and was improved in persona, but he loves the weeds, goes right into them, bangs around in there, and everyone goes to sleep again.... coach or not.
Oh darn. I thought you were sleeping. Since you are not. I am going serious here. I thought Cruz did well. Trump kept his ranking as number 1. Kasick drove me nuts. Bush didn’t do a thing for himself tonight. Fiorina was ok but I think she is done because after she had her “bump” she did not build on it and it is RARE to get that second chance. Rubio is now officilially the establishment candidate. Lord......Rand and the military is just nuts. I mean I know what he is talking about, but you are going to say that Veteran’s Day Eve? I don’t know......
I apologize for being nasty. You must know by now that I am a nervous wreck every primary. It is the WORST time for me. I say that because I absolutely love America and when I see “us” going the wrong direction, I get very upset and nervous. We literally are dying as a country. Scary stuff.
..it may be our last chance, Lord help us...
Rove was just on tooting Yebs horn. He did so well BA da dah Dah!
Agree with your assessments. I must say Rand did very well. When he talks smaller government and personal liberty he’s great, not so much when he whines. I’m a Trumpkin and impressed at how much he has grown. I believe he has the most presence on the stage, a natural leader. Ted is my #2 guy. When he speaks policy and about the corruptness of the government, he is great, but there’s something a bit too slick about him. Too many single mother stories and references to his dad and he’ll answer a question directly and then spend the next two minutes caveating it. Trump/Cruz would be my preferred ticket. Kasich needs to be drop kicked off the stage. Pompous. And Jeb is pathetic. He just needs to go.
Trump's answer was awful! (BTW, I'm for Trump, after Cruz that is.) Trump has an economics degree from Wharton, for God's sake! His answer was a little rambling, and it fell to Carson, of all people, to give the standard microeconomic rebuttal to the idea of minimum wage. Disgraceful.
Carly is insufferable. She hasn’t even won a dog catcher race. Rubio can’t speak off the cuff -everything is wrote memorized campaign speak. The Donald certainly is not a great orator or debater....and Cruz is systematically ignored by the media. My god, the pundits thought Rubio was the big winner tonight. Are you freaking kidding me?!
Thx,I have screamed Neil is a aRINOe from day 1
Tag team for sure. Can deliver Florida and Texas and quite possibly New York if Trump pulls out all the stops. Both against foreign nation giving and sending billions to help people who hate America. Both for enforcement of laws. The best two who can win! I want to win!
There are three polls out there showing Paul at 15%.
No freakin way...
Well thank you. I can’t wait to talk to you in our next thread. I must go to bed as it is kinda late. These debates always get me worked up and then it is impossible to sleep.....the wife wants to strangle me. lol.
It was a GOPe crowd brought to you by Fox News
This is even though Jeb, Carly, John K are all less than 4% in the polls.
Trump who is leading hardly got any time compared to John K (2% support), Carly (3% support) and Jeb (4% support).
Once again it was a rigged Fox News debate that silenced Trump.
It was the most pro GOPe rigged audience I have seen. Like I said brought to you by Fox News that is very pro GOPe.
LOL
