@DCGoldPants Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Interwebs tell me Carly wins. Perry is done. Bobby J didn't do anything good or bad. Everybody else were mostly irrelevant.

88Comrade2000 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 The first debate is now over. It was about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Carly Fiorina was the clear winner. She has earned a spot to be heard in the next debate. My ranking for this debate: #1- Carly Fiorina - WINNER. She looked competent. Deserves to be included in next debate. #2- Rick Santorum - He did alright, but he sure bragged alot. If he was that good, he would still be a Senator. #3- Bobby Jindal - He did okay, but they are plenty of other candidates in the first tier, to cover his issues. #4- Rick Perry - started shakey and got better. Felt a little at unease to me. Probably, didn't help himself much. #5- Jim Gilmore - Sounded okay, but really gave no reason for anyone to make him president over the others. #6- George Pataki - Seemed a little arrogant to me. He did alright, but noone cares about you. #7- Lindsay Graham - LOSER. He was nervous & it showed. He spoked with a nervous voice. He kept on saying, he would put American troops to fight ISIS. Good luck, in getting a majority of the country to agree with you on that. He should drop out tonight. He was that bad. The other 6 didn't do anything to warrant any further consideration.

sacase Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Almost time for the wanna-be debate. I wonder if those that don't care for FOX news, but are interested in watching the debate; will watch? Can they stomach, having to watch the channel? Do people really think like this? I mean I think MSNBC is a bunch of loons, but I never have even thought that it would be hard to watch something on MSNBC. Its just a channel.

skinsmarydu Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Thanks, I thought for sure I'd make it home for the early one. And I'm pausing during this one when I need to laugh or pee (probably happen while laughing). Hubby says "Hey, y'all! " I bet on Chris if he gets into it with Joe, Steele will do the 3-count.

@DCGoldPants Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Read/Scanned the transcript from earlier. A ton of Obama references, almost as many Clinton. Of course a handful of Reagan. Some Trump. Even Jimmy Carter. Not much as far as talking what they were for. Mostly what they are against. Can't name one real tangible new idea anybody listed. Maybe I missed it. Wondering if the candidates tonight notice this, or even care. Probably not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Think I'm rooting for Trump for a few reasons: 1. He doesn't give a **** what anyone thinks. You can call him an asshole, I call it refreshing. 2. He doesn't need to be president. He's got a ton of money, he's not concerned with being a politician. The rest of them need this. 3. Entertainment factor. Which is what politics have been boiled down to today. Somewhere in the past 25 years or so, politics and politicians have made the transfer to celebrity status rather than being concerned with doing their jobs. Lowered standards, let's take it all the way. All politics today is WWE with words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
