CNN's ' Live' feed of the debate
(Excerpt) Read more at go.cnn.com ...
With Trump, you get a Threefer. A vote Against the democrat nominee, a vote Against the MSM and a vote Against Obama! Eight years of frustration, aggravation, disappointment and built up MAD and you can finally Vote Back!
Do people not realize how many people that have worked for Trump have lost jobs? When he says “he uses the bankruptcy laws” people lost jobs. When his casinos, hotels etc close people lose jobs. I was in Atlantic City this summer and the vacant Trump Casino is a HUGE blight on an already blighted Boardwalk! It’s just falling apart.
Also, I know a contractor in Florida hired by Trump. Trump put off paying him until threat of a lawsuit. This guy had a family to support and was working at Trumps place F/T. He had a crew to pay and his own bills. Trump put off paying him to maximize the interest he was making on the money he owed. But it nearly destroyed this guys business.
I will vote for Trump if he is the nominee. Like I said I despise the Clinton’s. I hope everyone remembers we’re up against the Clinton’s even if we disagree here.
They didn’t create the eleventh space for her for nothin’.
Bingo. I wonder how many people realize that CNN expanded the debate field at the last minute so that Carly could get in. Clearly, that was a setup with a purpose.
I’m sorry but that poll is ridiculous. Trump now at 62%? That’s absurd, Cruz, Rubio and Fiorina were all better. Even if you think Trump won, no way 62% did. I honestly hope Trump isn’t using his money to pay for supporters. That doesn’t win elections.
Yup. And Jeb has that annoying "Please like me! Please like me!" demeanor that Romney had. Ugh..
Hillary’s whole pitch is vote for a woman.
She’d do much better against Donald than Carly... not that I support either one.
Maybe you did not see the following quote which I was responding to :
“What he has done is amazing. The fact that he accomplished what he has—in one year and against great odds—is truly phenomenal… Barack Obama proved that determination combined with opportunity and intelligence can make things happen—and in an exceptional way...His comments have led me to believe that he understands how the economy works on a comprehensive level. He has also surrounded himself with very competent people, and that’s the mark of a strong leader.” -— Donald Trump “Think Like a Champion”
Also Trump has said and said again tonight that he blames GW Bush for the election of Obama
Im sorry but that rates as one of the most stupid ideas ever floated by mankind (and its been floating around FR)
And I heard a guy call into one of the talk shows - don’t remember which one now - who was a subcontractor for Trump in Atlantic City - he said Trump shut it down - and he was owed $85,000 - he sent Trump a personal letter and 2 days later - he received a personal check in the mail from Trump in that amount. If this is the situation you are referring to - you have your facts all mixed up. He said Trump is an honorable man - and there was never a mention of a lawsuit.
And, the facts are - that times, and situations change during a presidency. One can’t be dogmatic and say this is what I will do - we don’t live in a world of cut and dried facts - but a president needs to be able to take on any situation as it arises. He/she can’t go to a set of notes to get the answers. Just being able to spew facts and figures for hypothetical situations isn’t a winning formula. It’s all well and good to say this or that is what one would do - but, when a crisis arises - the playbook goes out the window. That’s what I like about Trump - he knows you have to have goals but also that one must remain flexible. People put too much stock in someone who can spew hypothetical. And the problems erupting around the world today - I guarantee you will be different in 14 months.
And that’s just what this country needs - if those in the federal government don’t do their jobs - then they should be out the door. Our government has engaged in mostly failed ventures - and when is the last time we won or came out ahead in anything?
Not to be picky, but obama isn’t running again - at least I hope not - LOL so, this election is just as much a mandate against the GOPe.
Nagging wife vibe
LOL
Mudd shut her up pretty effectively too.
You’re right. It’s more “the establishment” in general rather than Obama specifically.
High is a state of mind. You can seek a high from many things.
Ok, but I thought we were talking about pot. Or are you the type that’ll compare pot to breathing or eating?
And?
Yes Trump had a poor showing against some of the professionals up on the stage he was left in the shadows. I think he got schooled here. Jindal had a better showing. But the media characterization that the candidates attacked trump is wrong. It was the media that was attacking trump with their questions and hate baiting.
I expected more from Carson, Walker also faded into wallflower status. Bush and Kasich demonstrated that they are democrats and political insiders.
Huckleberry and Christie demonstrated characteristics of leadership against the moderators who were baiting the candidates to fight. The candidates were forced to talk over and scold the Rude moderators who interrupted them.
I agree about Carly... she was the most articulate individual on the stage.
