Rubio promises to torture people at Gitmo
Marco was practicing that spiel for the past week
Somebody apparently slipped Marco Rubio some white crosses so he’d talk incredibly fast and get all those bogus points in as quickly as possible.
Kasich: Hey guys, job creators! Here’s this thing called supply-side economics! It works! Job creators!
Carson saying Obama doesn’t live in the 21st century.
This is the moment where the entire GOP has jumped the shark.
Carson’s read the Wikipedia entry on EMP, apparently.

“Strong, powerful men!” Donald, do you have something you want to share with the class about why you can’t stay married?
Trump,
non sequitor, non sequitor, non sequitor …. on and on
Trump: “130 people were killed in Paris because it’s a gun-free zone!”
Too bad he then meandered into immigration policy before explaining why most Trump properties are gun-free zones.

So far, Trump’s one response was a repeat of his usual routine. It fell sort of flat in this crowd, which is full of young military-fantasy role players (and in some cases actual military members) much more wanting to go HOO-RAH than to sit and listen to Trump.
Birther question from Cavuto to Cruz gets boos.
Cruz gets a chance to blame the liberal media or something for his birther issue.
Hohohoh sarcasm about “important topics,” Cruz? Well done, the last eight years never happened. You win. /

Cruz claims everyone on stage is an American!
Objection, assumes facts not in evidence!
“I’m not going to use your mother’s birth against you.”
“Because it wouldn’t work.”
Well, Trump isn’t wrong there. He just doesn’t acknowledge criticism except “Trump is boring.”
“let’s talk about real issues..” says the person who belongs to a party that led the birther movement…..
So who is on upped meds tonight on that stage……A little of dis….a little of dat…….
Rafael Cross addresses actual if self-interested legal points. Trump responds with polls.

re: #255 b.d.
If the 2nd Amendment was so important wouldn’t they have originally written it into the Constitution and not added it as an afterthought?
Actually there were quite a few who did consider an explicit listing of various rights - as in the Bill of Rights and it’s 10 amendments - extremely important and refused to vote for the Constitution until the Bill of Rights was set up to be the first order of business under the Constitution. It was done in that order due to the difficulty in getting everyone to agree to the structural makeup of the basic constitution (3/5’s, branches of government, taxation authority, appropriations of Navy lasting longer than for Army, etc) that they didn’t want to mess it up with putting the statement of rights into the basic document. Instead, as I said, it became the first order of business.

The chart is all over right-wing websites - and one thing I notice about every one of them is that the only text easily readable is the headline - two things that you should immediately pay attention to -
First, the chart cites Federal Reserve numbers up until 2013 - however it has projections on all to 2015, meaning that the graph past that year is either projected or simply made-up numbers.
Second, see the vertical gray bars on each of the charts? That bar represents recessions, and ther rightmost one is the 2008-2010 recession. Now notice how on some charts it’s really big, and on a few it is the only one there - and in one case isn’t there at all? That would be called cherry-picking.

Note the chart is from 2013 and the section featured is only for a few days in December.
Without digging I figured the issue was going to be micro-timescales so that “noise” in a reasonable chart would look like huge changes. One way or another one or both axis would have scales on them that were essentially on the “damned lies” side of the statistical display.
In other words presentation as propaganda instead as a serious intent to inform and educate in a fair manner.

Wait, now Trump’s worried about Japan? What is this, the 1980s? Or Blade Runner?
And Japan was taking over the world 25 years ago in just the way CHYNA is supposed to be doing now.

America is Donalds’ secret middle name….
All this talk of tariffs reveals the GOP for the regressive mercantilists that they always were. “Free market values” my ass.

Wait till he gets around to Gen. MacArthur.
Mark my words, no matter who wins the GOP primaries, this will be their candidate…
He always is.
I love how everybody’s explaining to Trump how tariffs work.

Nope. White…but from Detroit.
Speaking of Detroit, Ford is #1 in the luxury car market in China. Yes, the Chinese loves them some Lincolns.
Jeb’s talked a lot about aviation tonight. It’s good he has interests, to help him fill all of the spare time he’ll have soon.
National Debt in the next segment. Expect lots of conflation of debt and deficit and lots and lots more CHYNA!

Buick is supposed to be very big there too. I think China’s pretty much keeping the Buick nameplate alive at this point.

I think I am feeling numb from all this. It’s like sopors/quaaludes but totally driven by listening to these boobs. Everything is Obama, Obama, Obama…it get’s to you.
One thing for sure. There is nothing inspiring about any of these guys as far as leadership.

I can attest to Buicks being very common in China. They’re seen as the epitome of American luxury. That is, when the Chinese aren’t laughing at us.
