My take on debate - Wow! Let's go back to the 50s!

Nothing new. Let's go back to the "good old days" which were not at all good for women, minorities and the LGBT community.

I think their views are disgusting. Every one of them.

and play it. So obviously...

Cruz - the demagogue

Paul - the outsider...anger burbling barely below the surface

Bush - the pretend "compassionate" conservative

Christie - the bully who would really love to take off your head

Trump - the bomb thrower

Rubio - the grown-up

Kasich - the pseudo-intellectual


More?

Trump's meanness and all the Obama and HRC bashing - I just turned it off.

All bullies say their comments or actions are "all in fun." Not so much fun for the objects of their scorn.

I must say Megyn Kelly went up in my estimation for that great anti women question. I don't imagine he's saying anything nice about her tonight!

Upshot: Trump has a YOODGE "women" problem and it ain't going away!!!!!!! Ever!

He's done!! I hope HRC roasts his ass tomorrow in the media.

He said his father was the first person to graduate from college. Harvard was founded in 1636 so unless his father was born nearly 400 years ago, that is a lie.

was all about that, plus more bragging about cutting services for the poor and calling Democrats "divisive" while lying once again about 2 elected officials (Obama and Clinton) who have helped move the country in the correct direction. I'm surprised that I made it through the whole thing, but then again I had a "fuck it" mindset where I expected a bunch of shit-talking, a bunch of cheers in response, and people there to be willfully ignorant.
