Wheeeeeeeeee....

did anyone calculate how long it took before someone mentioned 9/11?

I didn't (couldn't) watch the whole thing.  Was there a 9/11 mention?  If there was, my money would have been on the Huckster for that.

It was Christie I think.

[red321]

It was Christie who mentioned it multiple times...he had this talking point about how he was named US Attorney right before 9/11 and how the world, and his duty to the country, changed that day.

 

 

Turns out he wasn't officially appointed until a few months later and he had to walk the statement back.

 

Kind of nitpicking...story is now that he was notified he was going to be appointed. That's not going to be his undoing though.

[nate]

He claims that Ashcroft called him the day before 9/11 to offer him the job but there is no proof of it.  He wasn't announced until December and he didn't get the job until January.  It is pretty shady.

Weird that Bush did so well. He's a terrible speaker. Stumbles over thoughts. Bad presence.

I mean, Trump blamed tough questions on the moderator's menstrual cycle and gained a point.

[red321]

You must be a deviant Nate...it's pretty clear he meant blood coming out of her nose...everyone uses that phrase when discussing women being "bitchy"...

It's funny to me how he said something that people took to mean menstruating. Yet, that's not what he said.

Is it what he meant? Probably. Is it what he said? No.

The way this guy is trolling America is pretty amusing. I hope he stays in for awhile.

I am all in on Trump/Ted Nugent 2016

I'm continually amazed that what should be viewed as the republicans' greatest failure (9/11) is constantly used by them as some sort of validation.

Oh sweet mother of mercy, CNN invited all 16 GOP candidates to the next debate!   I'm not sure how much more popcorn I can ingest.

I'm sure the debate will be very informative.

Perry ran out of cash and stopped paying his staff.  They're basically volunteers now.

 

I think a few might drop off over the next couple months...maybe Perry, Gilmore, Pataki, Graham, etc. especially if they run low on cash, realize they are like 0% - 1% in the polls...

[fan_since79]

Perry is polling at 2% in Iowa and has no money left.

 

He's toast.

Will they have 15 seconds now for their closing statements?

[red321]

I think it is still a two tier program, with the top 10 in one debate with a JV debate beforehand.

 

I think the Republicans are better off with more people...gives candidates less time to say dumb shit.

you could have made this same post six months ago and been just as correct then as you are today. 

 

i'm not sure why this guy ever thought he had a chance to begin with. it's like watching some high school kid debate whether or not he should enter the nba draft because he dominates at 150 student school that plays against other 150 student schools.

Has there ever been a debate, Republican or Democrat, where this hasn't occurred? They love trying to blow sunshine up our asses, all of them.

[red321]

laugh...good point...though I think the RNC is particularly worried about it right now. They think one of the reasons they lost in 2012 was because they had so many debates and the more people heard from the candidates, the less they like them.
