Airing on CNBC at 8 p.m. ET, the third GOP presidential debate will take place Wednesday night in Boulder, Colorado.


This one promises to be REALLY good! The Donald will be gunning for Carson.. Carson will say something really off the wall... all the others will try to make points... but who really cares? We wanna see them fight.. I'll bet they don't disappoint..
 

Why not? If he gets elected President you will have to hear him everyday....
 

I'm curious to see what they have to say, but I don't know if I'll sit through the whole thing. The important things said will be repeated endlessly in the days/weeks to follow. I'm really surprised at this point that Bush is down so low, and Trump and Carson are the front-runners. Stranger things have happened I guess. :D
 
Golly, gee whiz. Sorry it's on in the middle of the night here and I'll have to miss it. Oh wait, it'll be on CNN tomorrow. Think I'll be busy. I'll catch up with the gory details here!

Yep! Sitting here in Kansas, was switching back and forth between the Royals and the bevy of wanna-bes. Finally just have left it on the baseball game. Got tired of the same old bickering and arguing. Right off the bat, one of the moderators called Carson on the math for his proposed tax plan. He stumbled and now has his nose out of joint and has pretty well shut up. Trump playing his normal arrogant self. Bush and Rubio continuing their personal food-fight. Fiorina got called on her math and on her record at HP. She didn't look good during those segments. I really despise Cruz, but he probably has looked the best prepared. Christie, Huckabee, etc. are just taking up space.
 
I, too, spent the evening channel flipping between the WS and the debate. Looks like the Royals whipped the Mets good tonight..Whoopee! During one portion of the debates, I did hear one thing that made sense...from Mike Huckabee, of all people....he suggested that if we want to get health care costs under control, we need to find a cure for things like diabetes, and cancer, etc. Yes, that would be a great idea....but would take decades. Before I sign off tonight, I plan to send his campaign a message that if he Really wants to cut health care costs, the Best and First place to start would be a War on Obesity.
 
Reducing the incidence of smoking would have immediate and long term benefits.
Who wants to take on big tobacco and introduce smoke free work and public spaces and plain packaging of cigarettes?

If the truth were told, probably half, or more, more of our health care costs are consumed by people who are their own worst enemies. Smoking, excess alcohol consumption, poor diet, and lack of exercise, etc., all lead to major health issues, especially as we get older.

If I were King, I would charge smokers and fatso's a huge premium for their health insurance. If they can't, or won't, pay...their treatment would consist of a bottle of generic aspirin, and a "best of luck" wish.
 
Fatso's? Wow, that is beyond prejudicial, right into the arms of derisive blatant bigotry. I am appalled at such name calling in the twenty first century. Totally inappropriate and offensive. Perhaps when salads and healthy vegetables etc are as cheap as fast food.

food,many people will not be as obese. Not everyone is in a position to grow their own food to compensate for high grocery prices. How fortunate you are to be able to afford to provide your body with the correct fuel. Not all people are, it is cruel and

unusual punishment to deny them medicare in order to avoid any impact on your wallet. That is not democracy, but a free ticket to Ayn Rand's Liberarian Hell.
 
That was a pathetic group of .... I dunno what to call them.... After cutting to the chase.. here's what I got.. Government is bad... It can do nothing right... People should be in total charge of everything.. (we all know how that would work) Everything needs to be cut... EXCEPT the Military that is.... that needs MORE money.. Everyone is on their own.. if you don't have a few Million tucked away for your "golden years"... tough shit.. You lose. just die.. If you have a health issue.. it's more than likely YOUR fault anyway... tough shit... just die. What a lovely compassionate group.. Huh?

It makes we scratch my head in wonder that a sizeable portion of our population seem to feel that at least one of these candidates could lead this country. It boggles the mind.

It does... However you must remember that those that do generally are voting based on the social issues.. Gays..guns and GOD.(read..abortion) . They have blinders on to anything else..
 
We seem to have a thoughtful group of participants in this forum, and while there are disagreements over politics, I get the sense that folks here yearn for something/someone better to lead this country.
 
We've watched bits and pieces of the debate on CNN Int'l. But couldn't stand any more. Now watching Rachel Maddow on MSNBC. Glad hubby is a geek and found out how to tell our tv we're in the US!
