The GOP looked MATURE compared to the moron questions by CNBC.

But isn't it sad that it takes a liberal hack debate panel to make the GOP candidates look mature? :S

This is ridiculous. If anything, the family has benefited from the incident. Lets hope it gets tossed out.

No Trump

The highest rank in Bridge 8)

The Republican party, as well as the conservative movement, is being destroyed by Trump, with an assist by Obama and Cruz.

The last time I voted for a Democrat was for Jimmy Carter. It would be easy to not only vote for but to financially support Hilz if Trump is the nominee. An actual conservative would run if Trump is nominated, or Trump will run as a third party candidate if he is the highest % winner of delegates and not nominated at the convention, so I might be spared the indignation of voting Democrat.

I doubt Trump can get a majority of delegates ever, but I don't know how many all-or-nothing states there are. I am very confident he can't get anywhere near a plurality of registered Republicans to support him.

Hard to see how the Dems can screw it up, They should just shut up and watch this bitch self-destruct.


Russ,

You are correct. One of twos scenario's are going to play out.

1. Trump wins, gets destroyed by Hillary (think Reagan 84). "Republican" anarchist supporters, who are a minority, will blame "establishment", not their candidates idiocy.

2. Trump starts to lose because he's a nut (this is becoming more likely). He goes third party, and splits Republican voters enough to give Hillary a landslide victory. Again, Republican anarchist supporters blame "establishment" for chasing Trump from party.

Why I oppose Cruz

Russ Carroll said:

The radicals have won - that being Obama, Trump, and Cruz.

No one has "won" yet. People still have to vote. Hopefully those in our party will reject those trying to unite the GOP by the lowest common denominator.

Besides, historically, politics based on fear of "new people" always fails after a short run. At least when our primary winner gets destroyed next year in the election, candidates will be more loathe to run this way.

"13 Hours" Is BS...

I saw that. The problem is this CIA chief has an invested interest in saying that (CYA). And unfortunately most of the film is true. The state department failed the people of the diplomatic compounds there and people died.

Fact Checking The Debate

More BS, as usual...
http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/13/politics/republican-debate-fact-check/index.html

Notice Bush and Rubio were mostly accurate, while Trump's and Cruz's claims were the least accurate, including his assertion that we haven't confirmed a Supreme Court Justice in the final year of a President's term.

OK, local Democrats

Jim Brown said:

Who are the local US citizen A-Mart Democrats now a days, at least the ones willing to post? Rod, Jim M., anyone else. Lurkers? Anyway, I'm curious who you guys or gals are supporting, if you've made your mind up. Are you feeling the Bern? Are you willing to support Hillary, blossoming scandals and all? Are you a closet Trump supporter! wink Praying that someone else runs?

Thanks in advance, Jim

According to Richard, Russ and I are Democrats, but we are voting for Republicans! Lets hope other "democrats" follow suit! grin

Rubio stuff-up

Posted By Patrick Keafer

Maurice Clark said:

It seems like Rubio does not even know his own country! He has released an advert promising a return to "morning in America," but the ad shows the sun rising over the Canadian city of Vancouver, not a USA city.

I have seen this posted on a number of international news sources, eg BBC, ABC. A lot of people are laughing!

I think some other candidates have had similar snafu's! Besides, if one were to choose a clean, morning in America type of city, the Canadians ones are beautiful! grin
