Apparently there is no end to this guys nastiness

The whole thing is amazing.. Who would have thought people would actually believe someone like Trump could ever be considered for nomination.. and Carson? He's just goofy IMO.. Does he ever open his eyes?
 

And just who is a good candidate for President of the US? Is it only those that have spent years of politically correct days, not matter how useless they have been. Or could it be anyone with good ideas and the ability to lead.

Political correctness seems to be a poor way to judge folks. It is an overworked vision of how people should act. Big deal for some in the US but little elsewhere.

Bigger thinking would be to the persons ability to lead and get things done in the US. Not sure if we have any of that in our current crop of candidates now proposing to run for President for either party. Still have till spring of 2016 to get those candidate positions filled.

po·lit·i·cal cor·rect·ness
noun

noun: political correctness; noun: political correctitude



  • the avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes, of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against




 
Political correctness is a huge deal in Canada. Our Bill Of Rights demands it. Crossing this line can result in conviction for promoting hatred. Not acceptable in our multicultural society.
 

Sometimes some people scoff at "political correctness"... and use the lack of it as a virtue and an excuse to be insulting and to spout vitriol. It's LOW class IMO and shows a lack of breeding. . I firmly believe that a public figure should be able to get his/her point across without the nastiness.. and quit playing to an uneducated and bigoted base that seems to thrive on it.
 
Ii think my point has been missed or poorly posted. PC or political correct is also a big thing in the US, as in Canada, but it is poor to elect someone just based on PC. We do need leaders for the people of both parties. Leaders that can produce and do so even if not one of their very first ideas to bring forward. LEADER is the word I was pointing out as primary for voters. That they can speak flowery and kindly to just about anyone means nothing if they can not lead.

Being politically correct for everyone is near impossible as some things OK in one area could be considered wrong in another area.

I believe It is a very important factor. Would you want a loose cannon who is insulting and denigrating involved in very sensitive diplomatic negotiations? Imagine that person calling a leader of another country stupid... or that his wife is ugly. I would expect that someone who wants to be President should at least know how to behave in public... don't you?
 
We also need someone who can navigate the delicate area of international relations and foreign policy. If Trump opens his big mouth and spouts off some of his idiotic drivel in that context, he can get us in very hot water, not to mention making us the laughingstock of the entire world.
 
Look forward to next spring. Then we will know for sure who will be the candidate for both parties for next years elections. Hating Trump does no good at this time as he is slowly losing his lead and likely will not lead next spring.

Too bad the VP dropped out as Hillary needed some sharp contender to help her campaign. Again, it will be spring for sure to know just how well she is doing.
 
Not sure WHO he is losing his lead to... Ben Carson? Because of Iowa? Check out New Hampshire where Trump has double digit leads. Carson will win Iowa because Iowa is dominated by hard right Evangelicals... ask Santorum, Huckabee, and Bachmann... that was their one and only shining moment.
 
Spring... Spring.... BOB.... should we not talk about ANYTHING until next spring? That's all you keep saying... We heard you already!!

Keep watching and listening. All this ongoing trash talk means nothing until we really know who the candidates really are. Spring is a better time to tell about that for both parties. No I won't stop posting my honest response as long as this crazy talk continues.
 
Bob, I wish none of these jokers were in the public eye until next spring, but they're out there and in everyone's face, so it's reasonable for people to talk about them....they certainly are on conservative radio talk shows, and they get loads of callers hot to talk about people like Trump too.

I speak for all on both parties. If they are brought up for ridicule, then I have an opportunity from my point of view to respond. Seems real fair to me.
 
Of course you can voice your point of view Bob, just as I just did. If they're in the spotlight saying outrageous things and trashing each other, then the voters of both sides have the right to comment on what they see in the news. I understand another "debate" is set for Wednesday, we'll see if anyone has anything of worth to offer in their desire to lead this country.
 
I have no doubt Carson will win Iowa.. He is much more fitted to the large Republican Evangelical vote in that state.. Keep in mind.. Huckabee, Santorum and Bachman ALL won Iowa in the past. Trump will win New Hampshire. That's as far as I choose to predict.
 
This just in! Ralphy predicts that Trump wins New Hampshire and the nomination! More, later...

You could be right.. Looks like Bush is just about out.. but we'll see.. I think the GOP electorate is making a huge mistake.. Right now it's fun to shoot the middle finger at the Establishment GOP.. But in the end.. I think they will be very sorry,
 
Perhaps it is a revolution going on in the party that we are watching. And isn't Hillary an establishment candidate? It could be off with all of their heads at some point. Updates, later, from your intrepid reporter, Ralphy...
 
But wait! There is something happening here, what is ain't exactly clear! More of Dylan from your fearless reporter...
