Hardly. I was hopeful that Fiorina would be a good add to the mix, but this video se recently posted is really just the same female vs. male stuff that we really don’t need. We are Americans first and foremost and candidates that emphasize that are in the pool. The ones that want to play the same divisive voting block politics are not in my book.
Agree, however she did comment that this her attempt to appeal to females is a direct attack on the Democrat line that their are such a thing as Women’s issues instead of American issues. Of course being a politician – who knows to what degree you can give this any credence.

Well, I gotta go against the tide here. Going into the debate, while Trump was somewhere among my ‘possibles,’ it was below #1. Now, after seeing what was, to me, his incredibly boorish behavior: extraordinarily shallow, sophomoric & arrogant, I wrote him off the dance card. Seriously, this guy is just another Øbutthead, with simplistic talking points which appeal to conservatives rather than leftist loons. None of the candidates seemed inclined to remain on subject, much less provide definitive answers, yet Trump’s comments were mostly Don Rickles’ zingers rather than providing particulars about exactly *how* he plans to accomplish things. Much like soetoro’s 2008 campaign.
Agree. if Trump were the real thing – a White nationalist/populist – he’d get what George Wallace and Huey Long got: a bullet. Not going to happen because it doesn’t need to; though I’ll concede he’s got Krauthammer’s and George Will’s panties all in a bunch. In short, just another voting trap for the Whites. Moreover, if Trump somehow got to the WH and tried to deport the invasives and close the border…an alliance of Demoncrats and neo-con Republiscam Cuckservatives would impeach, convict, and remove him in a matter of days. It’s going to take SystemCollapse and civil war/race war to restore the American Nation

I have to disagree with Iconoclast. I am not on the board the Trump train yet but it is wrong to compare Barry with Donald. Donald has a life time of accomplishing and completing things whereas the current occupant of the Oval Office did not in 2008. Just about everything that he can put on his resume since then doesn’t look so good.
Exactly! Soetoro has done sweet fuck all in it’s life, but The Donald has built shit. Lots of shit. Accumulated massive wealth via the sweat of his brow, vs the gifting of the mullahs. I want to see Trump/Cruz 2016. Every one of the candidates has a place in the cabinet, actually, but the top two I just mentioned. Sept 23 has massive reference, to include them making some sort of statement together. Wonder what will happen on this “Blue Moon”?

Just to make it clear, I’m well aware the petulant community organizer has never done anything productive since it stopped scooping ice cream, while Trump, regardless of his ego, has worked tirelessly to build a business empire.
The similarity is in the arrogance and petulance, the in-the-face “me, Me, ME!” world view. Now, maybe,if this is mostly an act (I suspect I’m being mighty generous with those conditionals), Trump can work with people quite capable of saying “NO!” and making it stick. Maybe.
We need a CiC with smarts & a spine. This disqualifies the dimocraps as a group at the outset. It also disqualifies the likes of jebby & Pataki.

Not so sure about the “completing” things – he’s built businesses, but his record includes a whole lot of businesses he left when the leaving was good for him, and didn’t survive his leaving for very long.

Unfortunately, the truth behind the Teddy Roosevelt mythology is much more sinister. Those very same Trusts you listed (and their wealthy founders, patrons and other “money trust” interests, e.g. J.D. Rockefeller, Paul Warburg, J.P. Morgan et al.) actually funded Roosevelt’s second campaign behind the scenes during the election of 1912. Whether he was merely a dupe, or knowingly complicit is debatable, but the result was the same: the election of Woodrow Wilson.
The scenario was this: Taft was the favorite, but was opposed to much of the progressive/socialist agenda which Wilson supported (especially the creation of a central bank, i.e. the Federal Reserve). Funding Teddy allowed him to siphon enough conservative votes throw the election to Wilson. As a result we soon got the Federal Reserve, the Thirteenth Amendment (income tax) and the Seventeenth Amendment (direct election of Senators), all of which have proven disastrous, plus setting the stage for the League of Nations/UN/New World Order-style tyranny which is near culmination.
In short, Teddy was the Ross Perot of 1912, the catalyst which provided the “breakout” stimulus for the globalist agenda.
Lotta head-nodding and hand-slapping by Cruz and Carson when The Don was talking; I think they’re positioning for #2. Trump does everything like it’s a business deal, and he knows either of them on his ticket will bring an entourage. Only one likely to bring him a better blind following due to genetics would be Carly, and that ain’t gonna happen…never seen such obvious facial expression of hatred as she showed when DT spoke.

I could then die peacefully knowing my kids will have a chance at knowing the America I grew up in.
Rubio had a decent outing too; if we do put the reality teevee star in the big chair, he’d be another that would benefit from demographics and he does have an obamaesque charisma and presence. But I don’t think there’s any spark between them at all.

Cruz is my first choice for the very reasons he won’t get elected: he is a STRICT Constitutionalist and the ideal one to put a couple of justices in SCOTUS that will APPLY the law and not create it, staunch pro-2A, small Govt as the FF intended, hardline on immigration and entitlements, disgusted with both sides of the aisle in Congress and of all candidates, he’s the only one who, if he sends the military anywhere, will actually let slip the dogs of war.
Since he won’t get elected, I don’t want to see him as anyone’s VP. I’d rather see him as AG. He’d actually return JUSTICE to the DOJ and it still gives him visibility for another run at the top spot.
The more I listen to Dr. Carson, the more the man impresses me. He actually thinks before he speaks and his sincerity comes through. That said, I think he’s too genteel to be President. I could see a cabinet position for him though, perhaps even SecState.
Trump is succeeding in two areas: rattling the RINO cages and speaking for the fed up among us. I don’t think he’s stupid and his success in business has been built on surrounding himself with capable people. But I can’t take him seriously until he actually starts telling us exactly how he plans to address the issues we face. And even then, I don’t know that I’d want him representing America on the world stage. He can’t help being a showman and we need a statesman.
Fiorina has a bit of Maggie Thatcher in her and if we can’t find another Reagan, then another Maggie would do just fine. So, right now, she’s the one I lean towards.
September 17, 2015 at 10:53 am

Fiorina lost me when she played the victim card. She’s not above sliding into the whole Democrat war on women crapola. My first choice is Cruz also. But him or Gowdy as AG will cause even more Dem (and Republican) fear than if Trump gets elected.

I have to agree with rooftop. Clearly Fiorina won the debate but won’t be selected. Trump is still sitting there. She was tasked with one job. Take out Trump.

Since he won’t get elected, I don’t want to see him as anyone’s VP. I’d rather see him as AG. He’d actually return JUSTICE to the DOJ and it still gives him visibility for another run at the top spot.
The more I listen to Dr. Carson, the more the man impresses me. He actually thinks before he speaks and his sincerity comes through. That said, I think he’s too genteel to be President. I could see a cabinet position for him though, perhaps even SecState.
Trump is succeeding in two areas: rattling the RINO cages and speaking for the fed up among us. I don’t think he’s stupid and his success in business has been built on surrounding himself with capable people. But I can’t take him seriously until he actually starts telling us exactly how he plans to address the issues we face. And even then, I don’t know that I’d want him representing America on the world stage. He can’t help being a showman and we need a statesman.
Fiorina has a bit of Maggie Thatcher in her and if we can’t find another Reagan, then another Maggie would do just fine. So, right now, she’s the one I lean towards.
Fiorina lost me when she played the victim card. She’s not above sliding into the whole Democrat war on women crapola. My first choice is Cruz also. But him or Gowdy as AG will cause even more Dem (and Republican) fear than if Trump gets elected.
I have to agree with rooftop. Clearly Fiorina won the debate but won’t be selected. Trump is still sitting there. She was tasked with one job. Take out Trump. She failed, despite her performance in the debate. She FAILED. She will get a bump, while Carson drops back a bit. She still hasn’t been able to deliver.
Priebus would rather see Sanders or Hillary as president rather than Trump or Cruz. That’s a fact.
And that’s the primary reason to make sure he wins.
We need to shove a sword clean through the Republican establishments hearts……………. Time to kneecap some asshats.
He = Trump, sorry if I wasn’t clear.
Trump and “reason”? Not sure about that. 😉 His heart’s in the right place, it’s his head I’m worried about. 😉
“His heart’s in the right place, it’s his head I’m worried about.”
Funny, my reservations re DT are exactly opposite.
I didn’t watch or listen. Based on the aftermath conversations, my original thought was validated. It’s on CNN and will be a free-for-all along the lines of The Fleet’s in port for Liberty.
