But the great news is...since the party has been taken over by bat-shit KRAZY PukeBaggers...he won't get anyplace.

It's only when you pull him out and look at him on his own you can see how fringey he is.

K's just not as rabid, but more tolerable seeming and probably more clever than the others, the danger. He was a consultant for Goldman I believe. That's says a lot. Thief.

so the poor will do the fighting and the poor and middle class will do the paying, but we won't be able to pay enough to cover all the wars they want in the ME and N. Korea, so we'll go further in debt.

A very large percentage of the questions were either related to or directly drawn from some political attack launched by the candidates at each other.
These are not policy questions, they are amplifications of someone else's attack and do not belong in anything that is put forward as a "debate".

It was like being at a dysfunctional family dinner...
"Judy says you said ........... What's your answer to that?"

I agree with Kasich.

Why should we give the GOP a surfeit of General Election "take this shit outta context" soundbites?

9. What debate?

The moderators were asking questions based on "who said what about my momma". Not once did they ask sensible questions such as "What would you do about the jobs situation" or "How would you improve health care in this country". It was all about "Donald Chump called you ugly in a Rolling Stone piece. How do you respond Carly?" and that was that.

So again, what debate?

I lasted 15 minutes and then went to mute. Read a book and took a peek now and then. Clicked the voices on for about 30-seconds now and then. Argh.
