Yup. Probably because he doesn’t have any real place in the polls.
Just one smile would have gone a long way for Carly.
Other than that, she was definitely the adult in the room.
I could never vote for a global warming nitwit or amnesty agent. Congress would pass any kind of crap and would be signed. Both are already costing us way too much in money and freedom.
Right, she knew the questions ahead of time. Why didn’t I figure that out. /sarc
And you want to tell me with a straight face that Trump and the others didn’t interrupt one another for the entire 3 hours?
Lastly, I could care less about the audience - I don’t watch or listen to them, the people on stage and what they said is all the matters — regardless of your preferred candidate(s).
Funny you should mention that. I was listening to Hewitt's show on my way home that he taped prior to the debate. He was singing the praises of CNN's operation including how their research wonks furnished him with all manner of information based on his debate questions submitted over the past month. He specifically said debate questions, not questions he had about the candidates. I immediately thought of all the times we've said it looks like the other side, be they RATS or RINOs, seems like they have the questions ahead of time. Well, now we know how it's done.
Yet another gun-grabbing surgeon general?
Carson gets the good guy prize.
You are so weird and funny. I like that in a poster!
Scott Walker and Ted Cruz. With a close third Marco Rubio.
Did others catch the low fives and friendly pats between Ben Carson and Donald Trump? There’s your Ticket for 2016?
Could be a great idea. What do you think?
You’re from Tennessee—no wonder you thought Christie spoke too quickly.
To your excellent point: “Strong doesn’t mean crude and abusive, but simply firm and determined.”
I’ll get zotted and banned from FR, but Lindsey Graham had a great presentation. He had strong policies toward Isis and an endearing self-deprecating sense of humor.
In spite of all the disrespect for Sen. Graham on FR, take another look at his life story and accomplishments. No one senator can fix Congress - but I believe he would be a great replacement for McConnell.
Bad Character Actor is a description that would fit.
Oh, and I’m from the Northeast. That means that even though I agree with Cruz on most positions, that delivery that you especially like is to me oily, over-rehearsed, and especially off-putting.
Jeb Bush - all the appeal of a Norwegian Blue.
Yes, but a good Toastmaster knows that warmth is necessary to really win over an audience.
That's Carly. I don't think she will wear well because of that.
She's just not likeable.
>> Yet another gun-grabbing surgeon general?
Well, there *is* that to consider... so maybe not Carson.
I forget — what was Koop’s position on 2A?
And she’s drawing the Angry Women Vote.
