Today was the deadline for dropping out and not having your name on the ballot. The clowns are stupid but shrewd about looking after their self-interests.

So he could pound on the podium and shout "George W Bush was right!!11!"


Mission Accomplished. Now go home.

That was the funniest moment of the debate IMO.

“And here is the first thing I would do if I were President of the United States: I wouldn’t let Congress leave town until we fix this. I would literally use the military to keep them in if I had to. We’re not leaving town until we restore these defense cuts. We’re not leaving town until we restore the intel cuts.”

Thing is, the rest of them are even worse.
