2016 POTUS Election Thread

He was joking, which is it why he said "nothing like this would happen anyhow".

That's not a better answer

Most of them didn't have good answers. Carson said he'd put his own mother on there. Trump looked like the only guy on stage who either didn't know the question was coming or just didn't care with his "uhhh, ya Parks sounds good. I'll say that too!".

I was a little afraid Paul would say Ayn Rand.

I can't believe no one mentioned Harriet Tubbman or Sojourner Truth. I guess their existence isn't a part of "American exceptionalism"

The correct answer would have been, "Who fucking cares? We have a lot more important issues than stupid shit that doesn't do a damn thing but cost the American taxpayer more money."

That's kind of what Fiorina's answer was.

Being the only woman on stage, she had that luxury. Any of the men say it and they look like chauvinists.

Ahh. I only saw the last bit of the debate. I had more important things to do.





I was golfing.

Exactly, then suddenly they don't care about woman's rights. The whole thing is stupid. Just like sitting their and talking about abortion and topics like that. It's a waste of everyone's time.

But she absolutely won't get the nomination either, so if her one advantage is getting to distinguish herself in a question that most of the candidates were like "IDK, my mom? LOL". That's not much of a luxury.

The thing was on CNN and had 11 people on stage. It had no chance of being a legit debate so I didn't waste my time with it. Looks like I made a good decision.

I almost feel like CNN is doing it to try and make the republican nominees look ridiculous.

Not the most difficult task.

You could say this of any of the politicians on either side. Sadly though, this isn't what a news organization is supposed to be doing.

Yes we all know it was only Republicans that voted to approve the wars. Hillary and none of the other Dems voted to approve any of it did they. Or did they?

 

[L.T. Fan]

Like Hillary is a more favorable option.

I'm not a Hillary fan. I think Bernie is the best guy, followed by Paul, Followed by Kasich, followed by Carson.

But between Trump (who I don't need to describe the shortcomings of), Jeb/Rubio/Walker who all still champion the war in Iraq, Christie who still thinks the American people should be spied on just in case and marijuana is a "gateway drug", and Cruz and Huckabee who are religious extremists. Yeah Hillary is better than all of them.

It was Republicans that pushed for it, that doesn't alleviate the Dems of responsibility, but it was Bush's administration that lied, cheated, and manipulated the intelligence to lead us into that thing.

One guy is for tiny government and the other is for massive government. Interesting that those two would be your favorites. By the way I'm all about Paul so don't take that the wrong way.
