Rand has been a big disappointment to his followers, not hard to see why.

Is it just me or all of the candidates on the republican side seem like terrible choices based off of both their record and their personalities?

Trump - Don't need to say much here do I?
Cruz - self centered jerk that is also nuts
Rubio - absent from having a record + personal financial scandal
Bush + Kasich - BORING
Christie - No self control + bad record running Jersey
Fiorina - Cold as ice, no charisma + bad record running HP
Carson - zzzzz

Of all of them, the one with the best record at his job is Bush.

Rubio also has some disturbing views. Like most republicans he doesn't believe climate change has a human cause and even if it did it's not worth ruining the economy over. He doesn't believe in the constitutional separation of church and state. He's not against gay marriage but simply feels marriage is between a man and woman and their is no constitutional right to allow people to marry. He think syou can't win against terrorism with intellect and that if you use the military it should be to engage and win not just pinpricks. It goes on and on.

They all suck.

"We don't need Muslims. We need smart, educated, white people," according to the male voice on the calls, which began Thursday night and urge voters in New Hampshire to vote for Donald Trump.

Three white nationalist leaders have banded together to form their own super PAC in support of Trump, even though Trump doesn't want their support.
Quote:
"Most white people would prefer to live in majority white neighborhoods and send their children to majority white schools, and deep in their bones, they are deeply disturbed by an immigration policy that is making the United States majority non-white," said Taylor. "So when Donald Trump talks about sending out all the illegals, building a wall and a moratorium on Islamic immigration, that's very appealing to a lot of ordinary white people."

Republican debate is on now -- they are spending a considerable amount of time dissecting the chain of events that establish that Carson was not in fact dropping out at 6:30 on Monday as suggested by Cruz's campaign and by 9:30 that night bla bla bla. No kidding, like 10 minutes of this stuff, all because of some stupid tweet.

Now Rubio, when asked what he's accomplished, he said basically "goddamn Obama and we will make this the greatest country in the history of the world".

Really telling the people what they stand for here. How can these guys, who consider themselves no doubt "serious" people, continue to do this? It's just such endless bull$hit.

Whoop, Christie says "Rubio hasn't done anything" and he responds with "goddamn Obama and we will make this the greatest country in the history of the world". Exact same thing he just said.

Christie kind of roasting him for his little memorized speech, so that's good I guess.

Rubio is imploding right in front of us. Chris Christie just dismantled him.

Marco Rubio has come back a bit from the brink. He had some solid points on North Korea.

I love how the answer to ISIS is just to bomb the crap out of everything.

Nevermind the innocent people there. Trump in particular has no idea what to do with any kind of foreign policy. Not a single candidate up there I'd be comfortable with. Each are terrible in their own way.

I thought the top dogs had poor nights. The lesser lights looked a little better, Kasich was one of the better ones.

Rubio brought up that Clinton is ok with aborting a fetus on it's due date. Is that for real?

That's not disturbing. Unless our plan is going to reverse the effects, I'm not sure we should cripple the economy.


He doesn't believe in the constitutional separation of church and state.

That's nuts.

He's not against gay marriage but simply feels marriage is between a man and woman and their is no constitutional right to allow people to marry.

There probably isn't. But there is a constitutional right to equality.

He think syou can't win against terrorism with intellect and that if you use the military it should be to engage and win not just pinpricks.

Not a crazy strategy. This death by a thousand paper cuts isn't really working. Maybe a ripping the band-aid off is the right solution.


It goes on and on.

They all suck.
See above.
