Republican Debate

Yes.. Kasich has said some reasonable things about healthcare and the poor... But make no mistake about it.. his is fiscally a Republican when it comes to cuts. He's had his troubles ins Ohio.

I watched it last night, and it was about what I expected. I cannot get enthused about any of these candidates, and I saw nothing last night to change my mind.

There was One good idea proposed...IMO...surprisingly from Trump. He said that health insurance companies should be allowed to sell Nationwide policies....rather than having to tailor their offerings to unique State By State regulations, and only offering their products in the states where they stand to make the biggest profits. Having the same rules, and policies for ALL states would be a step in the right direction for lowering their costs, and hopefully passing some of those savings on to customers.

Other than that, all I heard was the standard BS that these politicians always seem to spout....and Almost Never giving a direct answer to a direct question.
 

I’m no fan of Donald Trump (although I have watched The Apprentice). I certainly don’t want him for President, and I don’t think he will even come close.

However, it was obvious that Megyn Kelly used Trump and feminism to climb to ‘stardom’, so to speak. I cannot stand Rosie O'Donnell and what Trump said about her back when they had a feud (which Rosis started) happens to be true. But Trump has also said obnoxious things about men. :shrug:

Trump is an equal opportunity insulter/offender, Trump is not pc and got into some public and bitter disputes, feuds etc so where's the shock coming from. Kelly and Fox News did what they originally set out to do-make sure a mainstream establishment "professional" politician Republican get's the party's presidential nomination. Kelly could've asked him about past things he said, no problem there but she showed her agenda by slipping in "...part of the war on women...' insinuating Trump was THE war on women. That verbage was not ment for inquiries but instigation. A prefaced question period is designed to plant subliminal thoughts in those listening or elicit a particular response. And all this crap they were "prepping" them for the leftist media, give me break.

Then the bankruptcy question came up. Trump is 110% correct. Bankruptcy is a legitimate tool used by individuals and businesses alike. It's an accepted practice even though disdained by many. I've worked for companies in their final year before bankruptcy and it wasn't pretty including hour cuts, unpaid expenses, unrealistic productivity requirements, assignments etc ie a bankruptcy is a much cleaner ending in many cases, even for employees and difficult as it may seem. Bankruptcy like any other tool can be abused or misused. There is something to be said for knowing when to accept losses and move on. If business management and accounting are too complex for Wallace jr he should shut up.

Then the moderators didn't moderate during the only actual debating which was Christie vs Paul in security vs privacy issue with them talking over each other out of turn.

This 'debate' was designed to benefit RINOs rather than show the public their choices.

This. The "moderators" didn't do their job. Most of all, though, Megyn Kelly was grandstanding.
 
Carly Fiorina was not in the big debate but I watched her in the mini and was impressed with her Foreign Policy comments. I want to see and hear more & from her. None of the male Repub candidates impresses me, particularly when they try to out Christianize each other.

Ask any of the 30,000 HP employees she laid off when she merged HP with Compaq in 2002 then hired world wideand losing half the value of the stock in 2005, she resigned at that time.
 
Looks like the republicans are rejecting him from one of their gatherings after his offensive comments about Megyn Kelly after the debate. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry...5c5f025e4b0f1cbf1e52f20?kvcommref=mostpopular


ATLANTA (AP) — Donald Trump opened his mouth and now finds the door closed to him at a high-profile gathering of conservative activists.

His latest incendiary comment, about one of the Fox News moderators from Thursday's Republican presidential debate, has led to a scolding by the party and condemnation by organizers of the RedState Gathering.

The billionaire businessman lashed out against Fox News' Megyn Kelly for her questions during the campaign's first debate. She had asked the candidate about his use of derogatory language toward women and whether it reflected the "temperament of a man we should elect as president."

Referring to Kelly's questions, Trump told CNN in an interview late Friday, "There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever."

Soon after the interview aired, RedState's Erick Erickson booted Trump from the event's Saturday lineup.

"I just don't want someone on stage who gets a hostile question from a lady and his first inclination is to imply it was hormonal. It just was wrong," Erickson wrote on the RedState website.

He said that "while Mr. Trump resonates with a lot of people with his bluntness, including me to a degree, there are just real lines of decency a person running for president should not cross."
Trump's campaign was incensed — and unbowed.
