2016 Presidential Campaign

[TYLERTECHSAS]

Huckabee's closing shot was excellent. It was a great way to attack Trump and Hillary at the same time and use humor in doing so. Here it is in case you missed it.

Huckabee was excellent in all his answers IMHO. My TOP 7 coming out of the debates are as follows:

Cruz - Not made for TV at all. But if you strictly listen to what the man says he is a cruise missile as they say. He needs to be at least the VP candidate to make things happen.
Huckabee - Most Presidential looking of the bunch IMHO. I loved every answer.
Fiorina - She could handle the executive office or a VP slot. Heck, she is wonder women on steroids. She would destroy Hillary or Sanders in a matter of minutes on the debate floor.
Rubio - Made great headway. Could he handle Hillary in front of the cameras. Of course can Hillary handle the cameras from prison?
Carson- Absolutely love this guy!! Loved every single answer and how he logically, and very wisely thinks through everything. LOVE HIM!!!
Bush - dislike another Bush but would vote if I had to for him even though "it wouldn't be prudent".
Paul - Took himself way too serious. Did the guy smile any? Hate his stance on Israel but like his other answers.

Trump - Blew it! Period! But you have to love his honesty and love for America. Still worried about being able to trust him with Dems. But I want him to have another shot!!
Cristie - No thank you. I can't trust the guy.
Walker - Wanted to badly see him surge and he didn't. He walked in place not making any headway IMO. Looked like a SNL candidate when listening to the questions. But I want him to have another shot!!
Mr. Ohio Gov. raelly like the guy but again just maybe held his ground a tad.

I agree with you, I don't support the Republican party at all, but am certainly anti-democrats. The only way to win is support the Rep. nominee. I am praying we actually have a quality nominee though- and Trump, Bush, and the Obama hugger are not it.

Me too. Only problem is that most of the money is in the establishment.

It's going to be a tough road for a guy like Cruz, but he can do it. I thought he was excellent last night, along with a couple of others. The "experts" are all over the place with their assessments, so I'll just stick to mine

I'm surprised no one in the media has mentioned how Huckabee borrowed a line from Rush Limbaugh when Huckabee said the purpose of the military is to "kill people and break things". I agree, but I thought some liberals would use the opportunity to tie Huckabee to Limbaugh somehow.

Trump says the three moderators at the debate last night weren't professional and then tweets that Megyn Kelly is a "bimbo".

I believe that even Bush can win against Hillary. She offers nothing to the sheeple who elected Obama twice. At this point, she may get indicted before she gets nominated.

I doubt it, but not because it isn't deserved.

Please, no.

Please yes!!! Easy victory for the Dems.

[JuBru]

Please yes!!! Easy victory for the Dems.

Only because there would be two Democrats in the race.

Dude is losing it.

She deserves worse as is toast!!!

That's because the mainstream media are stupid as all get out. And there were 24,000,000 viewers!!! Tops ever in history!!!

There would have been more had CNN or MSNBC done the debate.

BALZ: Debate contenders give Democrats reason to worry...

Donald Trump may top the polls in the contest for the Republican presidential nomination, but this week’s debate was a reminder that the party has able rivals who eventually could take him down — and who also could mount a stiff challenge to Hillary Rodham Clinton in the general election.

I was considering Walker until what he said about abortion in the debate. He does not believe in abortion...even in the case of RAPE or if the mother's life would be in jeopardy!I then crossed him off my list!!!

[JuBru]

Fiorina is growing on me. But the HP stuff is a huge red flag. The way she has talked about it is too similar, to me, to how Obama just "learned" something watching the news and blames everything on everyone else and never himself.
I like Kasich. But some of his answers at the debate threw me off.
Rubio is growing on me, too. Seems a bit dry and out of his element, though. Needs to get more authoritative and just better in general.
I like Carson, just don't think he's ready (experience, mainly) for POTUS.

Big NO to Cruz, Trump, Jindal, Walker, Huckabee, Santorum, Paul.
Christie had potential, but he's Trump-lite at this point. So no.

No opinion on Perry. He doesn't seem to understand why Texas did good under him and how to translate it to the U.S. *Edited to add it looks like he might be prepping to drop already.
No opinion on Graham. I'm kind of tired of lawyers, honestly.
No opinion on Pataki. Don't know him.
No opinion on Bush. Everything he's done has canceled out something else he's done, so far.

I have VERY strong opinions on abortion.

It is murder, plain and simple. That child, the result of rape or incest, is still a child, a human being, who had NOTHING to do with the circumstances that conceived him/her. That child is an innocent victim of a crime. Punish those who committed the crime, the rapist, for instance. Here's a suggestion. All of you that support murdering a child who was conceived in a rape or incest will put your name into a pool. Then when that child is aborted (murdered) we will randomly draw a name from that pool who also will be killed.

That seem harsh? Really? You mean as harsh as murdering as an innocent child, that kind of harsh?
