GOP "debate"

[DaShi]

A summary of the republican debate:

Panel to Candidates other than Trump: "You said some questionable things, care to explain them away?"
Candidates: "Sure. [sound byte]"
Panel to Trump: "You're a liar and don't belong here."
Trump: "**** you!"

A summary of the upcoming democratic debate:

Panel to all Candidates: "What are your plans to deal with X?"
Candidates: "I have a comprehensive strategy that involves A, B, and C."
Audience: Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

The Democratic debate may actually be interesting if anyone dares to ask Hillary Clinton about her emails.

Mrs Horse reckons Hillary has what she calls "banana legs". Women can be cruel. These are the questions some of them would like answered

The extremes (ie, the base) tend to be the ones who care a whole lot about the party and therefore are the ones who are getting behind candidates this early. For a lot of folks on the extreme, the party is more of a identity marker than it may be for a moderate. Therefore they put more of their time and money into it. And they'll come out in droves to campaign and vote in primary elections. Hence, the pandering to the base early on.

Let me guess, you're still waiting for someone to ask Obama about Benghazi right?

The emails are a real scandal and you just can't pretend otherwise. Hillary Clinton has survived a huge number of scandals and she'll probably not be brought down by this one specifically.

There isn't really anything to add about Benghazi. The scandal isn't that people died; that was nobody's fault but the people who killed them. The scandal with Benghazi was trying to pin it on some guy who made a video and then arresting him, so as not to admit that Al Qaeda or whoever did it and instead pretend that it was a spontaneous protest to koran burning. So no, I'm not waiting for answers.

Democrats would be wise to find someone else with less baggage than Hillary, and quickly.

Anyway, looking forward to Trump leaving center stage.

Looking forward to Trump's independent run

It would be some deja vu **** if Bush won the nomination, and Clinton beat him because of a 3rd party candidate taking his votes.

You can't have "deja vu" about things that happened before you were born

It's funny how it seems to primarily be Republicans insisting that the Democrats need to find another candidate. Why do you think that might be?

[giblets]

Confirmation bias causes them to think all of the "scandals" involving Clinton are real and serious.

Not technically; I was born in November of 1992.

Because she is fundamentally unlikeable as a human being?

Only Republicans relate to human beings?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Maybe it's time for you lazy moderate ****s to get off your superior asses and go get involved then!!

Hey, I'm already more than involved. I've given a few hundred bucks to the Hillary campaign already (including stuff from the store) and share her stuff all the time on Facebook and Twitter . I plan on doing some canvasing for the campaign as well. Or... does that make me an extremist? OH NOES!
