Oh No, The New Awesome Primary Thread

I expect to see a lot of ... ... in the near future.

He also says that it is okay to ignore the Supreme Court decision on gay marriage because it really isn't law made by congress ...... and that blacks are not really full US citizens because of the Supreme Court Dred Scott decision ... even though that decision has been rendered moot by actual congressional approved law -- the 14th amendment.So I guess if you are accustomed to picking and choosing which bible verses you live by, you would think you can do the same with the constitution?And of course Hucky ran to "support" Kim Davis ... or was that to grand-stand and use her to prop up his sagging ratings?... and don't get me started on all the nonsense about Obama being unconstitutional ...Enjoy

There is a room reserved for the candidates ...Andrews McMeel Syndication - Home

So huckster Huckabee is blowing smoke for political gain (wotta surprise). Once again it seems to me that there needs to be some system of "cleaning house" to specifically revoke laws and parts of laws that are no longer relevant, perhaps a 25 year review?Enjoy

Christie?

Indeed, that is why I picked him: to much like Trumpy in bluster, insult and braggadocio, but too "lumbered" with being a long-term politician for the base to be interested (I agree with the analysis that the GOP has poisoned their own well by convincing their base that washington is broken and the politicians can't get anything done).Note that the other "climbers" in the polls are Ben Carson and Carli Fiorina -- the other "outsiders" -- and that all the "falling" candidates are long-term politicians.

For someone who is a brain surgeon (benefit of doubt) he sure doesn't know rocket science.(cue the Monty Python skit)Edited by RAZD, : MP video

Well, when you are running for last place in the polls you have to try some really funny drugs ...

Beginning Of The End? Trump Was Booed Twice In 24 Hours

​

But on Friday, the candidate should have been on friendlier turf. He was speaking to the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. It doesn’t get much more conservative than that.

​

Trump soon made it apparent that he wasn’t the group’s favorite son. He attacked Marco Rubio, calling him this clown. Again, Trump was booed, and loudly. The crowd’s response came in spite of the fact that Trump was attacking Rubio over his attempts at immigration reform typically an issue that is anathema to conservatives.

​

However, Rubio had been well-received at the Summit earlier in the day, especially when he was the one to announce the resignation of Speaker of the House John Boehner. Those words received a standing ovation.

​

The group wasn’t done with Trump yet. When he claimed that he won the last Republican debate, a man in the audience yelled, No, you didn’t! apparently prompting Trump to leave the gathering without taking questions from the press.

​

However, his best riposte came the day before, on a Kentucky radio show. Rubio said:

​

[Trump’s] not well-informed on the issues. He really never talks about issues and can’t have more than a 10-second sound bite on any key issue. I think he’s kind of been exposed a little bit over the last seven days and he’s a touchy and insecure guy. So that’s how he reacts and people can see through it.

​

If Rubio’s recent rise in the polls continues, the attacks from Trump will no doubt increase. However, when even conservatives are showing a limit to their tolerance, it looks like simplistic name-calling and grandstanding aren’t going to carry the billionaire much further.

So now the candidates can get down to discussing issues and policies ... oh wait they are republicans ... they don't do issues and policies ...

The Ding Dong now in second place and dropping ... [quote]Donald Trump loses national lead, Ben Carson now Republican front runner

With 17 percent support, Trump has fallen out of the top spot and is now second in the Republican primary election. Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who has surged since the first debate in August, now claims the top spot with 24 percent support from those polled. Rounding out the top five are Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, with 11 percent, former CEO of Hewlett-Packard Carly Fiorina with 9 percent, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush with 8 percent.

Trading one nutbag for another, someone with NO political experience. We'd do better by choosing someone by lottery.Enjoy

Aside from being a christian anti-abortionist doctor, there doesn't seem to be much there there, imho. Some of the (racist) base won't be attracted even if he is an "oreo" ...Watched the Rachel Maddow show (Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC | Watch Rachel Maddow Live) and it appears there is a massive primary vote in April that will effectively decide the candidate, so that is the timeline.They also talked about Trumpy being an entertainer that only lasts as long as he keeps the act "fresh" and that he is droopping now.Fiorina won't appeal to the mysogenistas base, and she doesn't have the wild crazy of Palin.So that gets down to Rubio? who said on TV that being a senator is not his dream job ... (and he has the worst voting record in the senate of all contestants).Then we have the whole new circus of House Speaker elections coming up ... with the house republicans divide ???Watch this space.

So the GOP "investigation" into Bengazi (or the inquisition of Hillary) fell flat like a balloon with no air ... and actually ends up boosting Hillary - her popularity numbers are up, her donations are up ... another failure of the GOP bubbleworld to reflect reality.Now we have ...Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Al.) saying she can be impeached on her first day in office ...... any bets whether this will also help Hillary in the polls?ROFLOL what a maroon.Enjoy

Or we could try getting back to the topic Oh No, The New Awesome Primary Thread

Sounds like a form of "Gap Creationism" to me, certainly some form of "Old Earth Creationism" ...Wonder if he recognizes that disease carrying bacteria evolve ...EnjoyEdited by RAZD, : .
