I just can’t get into the comedy. More than a little overwhelmed by the tragedy of this debacle. If you understand checks and balances, you understand how ill served we are by a lack of two credible platforms for public debate. The whole nation is harmed by the damaged process. Just not laughing here. It’s too serious a flaw.
One by one, Republicans looked at the field and thought, “Fuck it, I can beat all these clowns,” and now we have 20 candidates or so.
Now the Democrats are looking around and thinking “Fuck it, Hillary’s not all that, and I can beat all those Republican clowns.” I bet the Democrat field is going to get a lot more candidates soon.

fox has called this debate to fuck trump
It's horribly obvious: if the GOP wins the presidency again, America is going to war. Again. And again.

“When did you actually become a Republican?”
The $64,000 question finally gets asked.
Ronald Reagan has evolved on many issues?
Maybe the way people portray Reagan and his record has evolved.
yeah, they’ll call this generation barbarians because of choosing not to bring unwanted babies into the world, but I’m sure these future generations will cheer the state of constant war these asshats want.
I suppose it was too much to hope we could get through this thing without at least one “I’ve evolved” statement.
It will be nice if they can all go to a bar after this and lift a few. A bar with sharp-edged tables, and throw rugs, and lots of beer bottles.
Did Trump say he devolved on the issues, or did my brain just substitute that for evolved?
Pro life for all!!
But women.
And the born.
And the gays.
And the blacks.
Or Latinos.
Those on death row.
Other than that!

“When did you actually become a Republican?”
The $64,000 question finally gets asked.
“About five minutes before I announced I was running for President. Why? Am I not cool enough?”
“Since then i’ve DEevolved” - Trump corrected…
Fox is not making any effort to conceal its campaign against Trump. It’s just right on the surface.

re: #359 Great White Snark
You just got to hope that this is what it looks like when a political fever breaks. But it’s going to take a 1984-esque thrashing to get the GOP to start to re-think things.
More importantly, they need to start losing at the state level (which, sadly, shows few signs of happening any time soon).
Trump blames Obama’s election on Jeb’s! brother.

Meanwhile, Trump wants everyone to think he’s never declared bankruptcy. He hasn’t personally declared bankruptcy. Only his casinos with his name splashed all over them have.
Four times.
His corporations have declared bankruptcy four times. All to put the screws to his creditors and work a better deal for him and his companies.
We just need to ignore that he was in the position to need bankruptcies in the first place to get a better deal. A good businessman avoids bankruptcies. A crummy one relies on them.
And it takes a billionaire to have so many chances at bankruptcy.
In what universe is Jeb the smarter brother?
Jeb! says the Republicans will win because they have an uplifting and positive message, unlike Obama and Hillary who are sooooo divisive.
Trump is actually doing a good job cutting through Megan’s smarminess

On Assad and chemical weapons/red line… let’s see what those who opposed any action in Syria say now…
Hostages released the DAY Reagan was sworn into office.
All your arguments are invalid. Sit down and shut up.
They released those prisoners cause they were sooooo afraid of Reagan, huh?
And now a bit of amnesia, as the GOP tries to convince people that they didn’t threaten the President with impeachment if he launched airstrike on Syria.
re: #424 teleskiguy
Yeah, just look into the history of Walker’s good buddy Sheriff David A. Clarke from Milwaukee. Which, just happens to be one of the most segregated cities in the U.S.

The military is for killing people and breaking things…
Yeesh.
I’m impressed that they’ve kept to their gentleman’s agreement to not make so much as one factual statement evening long.

re: #530 LiberalGal
How freaking big does our military have to be to satisfy a rethug?
One billion armed servicemen. No, not servicewomen, they don’t count.
Huckabee:
Huckabee Military Service
• Mike Huckabee had not voluntarily signed up for military service and came of age as draft was ending. A brief explanation on why a stint in the army is missing in Huckabee?s resume, states the reason as ‘flat feet’.
• Huckabee had all the traits of a natural leader and longed to be of service to his people but his flat feet became a roadblock. “These flat feet have bothered me all my life” he is quoted as saying.
• When he was a freshman in college, Huckabee had enrolled in the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) and looked forward to serving in combat. On noticing his flat feet, the ROTC Director discouraged him from joining the army. Huckabee remembers, “He told me there was no point in my continuing because the army wouldn’t have me anyway.”
• The Vietnam War came to an end, thus ending Huckabee’s desire to pursue a career in the military. Perfectly understanding that every chapter in his life had been God’s doing, Huckabee is a wee bit cheerless when he says, “My flat feet ended what I’m sure would have been a heralded military career in the post-Vietnam 1970s.”

It’s the old Reagan defense idea: “If we have more ships (even if they’re 50-year old clunkers that can’t expect to win in a modern fight) than the other side has, then we automatically win!”
My position is that whole event is about “God”.

But Israel has done crap all for the peace process, continues to shove Palestinians out of their homes, and meddles in our politics, as shown by them trying to kill the Iran deal.
Give it to Albania. They almost always listen to use, and usually are quite willing to help, even if we do not expressly ask. And they are not trying to kill peace deals.
I think Jesus covered this in the parable of the sower:
And the ones sown among the thorns are others who hear the Word;
Then the cares and anxieties of the world and distractions of the age, and the pleasure and delight and false glamour and deceitfulness of riches, and the craving and passionate desire for other things creep in and choke and suffocate the Word, and it becomes fruitless.
And those sown on the good (well-adapted) soil are the ones who hear the Word and receive and accept and welcome it and bear fruit—some thirty times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much, and some [even] a hundred times as much.
What? God and the veterans? Huh? I didn’t drink THAT much, did I? <hic>
