    Personally, I like his stance on global warming.
    On the other hand, no... I'm not truly serious about him being veep.
    I would rather see him head of some science based thing or something.

    My dream ticket would be Sanders/Warren or maybe even Sanders/Biden
    .
    I'm sure there are possibilities that I'm missing, but that's what I got so far.

    For those who missed the last Republican debate I will condense it down into a couple sentences or two:

    Kasich (the guy from Ohio) is going to punch the Russians in the nose.

    Fiorina continued to boast about her tenure at Hewlett Packard, the place that fired her. On news of her firing HP's stock rose 10% and closed that day 7% higher.
    She seems to think that's a plus.

    Carson coughed a lot, he has a cold, other than that he didn't have much to say.

    Rubio attacked everything Cruz said but finally agreed that it (meaning everything) was really Obama's fault....and Hillary's.

    Trump made faces mostly. But the height of the debate was when he and Bush almost got into a fist fight. More on that later. He also stated he wants to shutdown the internet and by pass the first Amendment. Oh, he also wants to kill innocent family members of terrorists, to send a message.

    Cruz called Rubio a liar then kissed Trump's ass for the rest of the night. And he's going to carpet bomb ISIS, but not if they hide in a city, and we all know they never do that.

    Bush, when Trump complained about how unfair CNN is, called Trump a sissy, "If you think this is tough and you're not being treated fairly, imagine what it's going to be like dealing with Putin or dealing with President Xi or dealing with the Islamic terrorism that exists"
    To which Trump replied, “Oh, I know. You’re a tough guy Jeb! Real tough!”
    Bush jabbed back, “You’re never going to be president of the United States by insulting your way to the presidency.”
    Then Trump unloaded with this gem, “Well, let’s see, I’m at forty-two and you’re at three!” he quipped. “So so far I am doing better. So far I am doing better! You know, you started off over here Jeb, you’re moving over further and further, pretty soon you’re going to be off the end!”
    But then the Principal showed up and broke up the fight.

    Christie basically called everyone on the stage a bunch of bozos who just bicker away and never do anything. When he's president he will immediately set up a no-fly zone over Syria and then shoot down a couple Russian planes.

    Rand Paul went like this [​IMG] and then said, “I think if you’re in favor of World War III, you have your candidate”. Paul then carefully explained to Christie that Russia already flies in Syria at Syria's request and we can't just shoot down their planes without risking an all out war with Russia. Christie said he's from New Jersey and pulled his Jersey Shore tough guy routine. Paul called him reckless and Christie said he's not reckless so Paul said, "When we think about the judgment of someone who might want World War III, we might think about someone who might shut down a bridge because they don't like their friends".
    Christie replied with an attack on Hillary.

    So then Paul just looked like, what the F am I doing up here with this bunch of idiots.
    He looked like that for the rest of the night

    I felt sorry for him.

    Pretty damn good review ya got there.

    I missed a bunch of bits due to a combination of drinking, two chat rooms being open and trying to pay attention to the debate.
    But from what I caught, that's a fairly, spot on wrap up.


    Thankfully, now that we've had a bunch of junk food, on Saturday we'll be getting steak and potatoes from Sanders and the runners up. ;)
    But seriously, I know it's not as exciting as the idiot carnival from hell, but it'll be nice to have something real to digest.
    You know, crazy exotic themes, like... arguments based on facts, greater decency towards each other, respect (to a degree at times, to be honest) and actual workable ideas.
    Oh... and concern for the common health and fair treatment of all citizens.

    I'm currently watching Bernie Sander's conversation with Killer Mike in an ATL barbershop, and I think we might actually be okay.

    Anyway, I had fun with that, I will admit.

    Here is the debate in its entirety I encourage everyone to watch and form their own opinions:

    The excerpts you show of these 'debates' between presidential candidates make it seem like any average highschool debate class would do better....

    Because if by chance trump gets elected, Cruz wants a job in the administration.
    That combo would be worse than a disaster.

    Lindsey Graham is out. Like with other recent departures, there are no supporters to be divided up among the others.

    Too bad. Too many candidates is a good thing! Of course if he didn't have supporters then it makes no difference.
