They all like Trump and the way he promises to kick ass. I don't think he is realistic. <br /><br />Now, I gotta get on Netflix to see if that Sellers movie is available.<br /><br />Thanks for a good post.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665311979954859271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-36292925040758521292015-09-18T21:08:52.688-04:002015-09-18T21:08:52.688-04:00It's a mess Ed.

The question and the current candidates do not mix. Of the current candidates, Carly seems focused, able to verbalize her position clearly and is not a politician. Of the field, I'd take her. Open it up to all Americans and there are probably thousaands I'd rather have than any of the 11 on that debate.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-44971159207812517012015-09-18T00:32:55.767-04:002015-09-18T00:32:55.767-04:00I want a real debate so I can make that determinat...I want a real debate so I can make that determination. This was a one baited question after the other about personal attacks between the candidates rather than against either Obama or the Dems.<br /><br />Think of Lady Justice. She doesn't have her thumb on one scale and she's not peaking from her blindfold. Then watch Jake Tapper in action and maybe you understand why I called Rince Priebus GOPe. The GOPe and the media do not want any debate where real issues are discussed. <br /><br />Kid, if you got a good sense about who would be the best pro-American candidate because of their performance in this debate, I'd like to know how high are your standards.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-62218282101608477562015-09-18T00:18:55.078-04:002015-09-18T00:18:55.078-04:00Pascal, so who do you want the nominee to be?Pascal, so who do you want the nominee to be?Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05287399775879832602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-11408164703849513952015-09-17T23:54:25.329-04:002015-09-17T23:54:25.329-04:00Carly is no Abe.

Free Republic will still have much of that that in its archives so it's not hard to find. Then if her general election behavior evokes a pattern that is familiar enough to you to raise your skepticism about her, then my effort here was worth it.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-8946820186283843072015-09-17T23:39:40.562-04:002015-09-17T23:39:40.562-04:00Thank you!Thank you!Ed Bonderenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724552853113809036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-79316457058689732082015-09-17T23:39:21.719-04:002015-09-17T23:39:21.719-04:00You are and remain my friend.

Without the help of Rove and the GOPe and their money she'd not have beat in the primary the best conservative CA had in a long time, Chuck Devore.<br /><br />Then there's her bad history at business. If she was Ted Cruz the media would be making a big deal about her riding Lucent Technologies into the grave and nearly doing the same to HP. She is got more time on the stage than either Cruz or Walker and that was by design of CNN and very likely ok with GOPe Priebus. See who the media doesn't attack and know who it is they want. Please help prevent the SSM select the GOP candidate again for Republicans. It's bad enough that some large number of states have open primaries, Help inform legit Republicans understand how the media works.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-36876526703819694182015-09-17T23:14:41.571-04:002015-09-17T23:14:41.571-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Pascalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303025432356543062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-62408829648852746042015-09-17T23:02:07.331-04:002015-09-17T23:02:07.331-04:00Great Post, I wonder if Peter or Steve will use yo...Great Post, I wonder if Peter or Steve will use your ideas.
