Quote:lol, Obama was a sitting US Senator.

Don't give me none of that liberal mumbo jumbo. Baraqq Obammer is terrist!!!

Quote:thats part of it. but he is also a softer republican than what there has been over the last decade. Not everyone is looking for a seasoned politician and many want more of an everyday man that hasn't been corrupted by Washington yet. He fits the mold there.

I don't know if I'd describe him as "soft". In fact, the only really soft things about him that I've noticed are his voice and demeanor onstage. He's taking a pretty hard line on a lot of issues, and it does tend to jive with the Republican stance. Again, though, he's one of those candidates that I can't help but wonder if the words coming out of his mouth now match what he really believes, and if those words would hold true once he's in office.

I still don't get the Carly Fiorina love. She's excellent with a mic in front of her, but, I mean, has anyone looked at her track record as a businesswoman? Her most notable accomplishment was taking a thriving HP and nuking it, which is kind of funny given that she wants to nuke the rest of the world. If being a miserable failure of a CEO is qualification to run the country, we need to find Lee Ioccacca right now. Jeff Smisek can be his running mate.

Quote:And yet it's ok for Obama and not for Carson because other reasons?

It is a relevant statement due to the furor about his qualifications. Now the same people are clamoring for Carson. Why? because it was never about his qualifications.

Agree. I have no issue with someone from the business world running for president. But it should at least be someone that flourished in the business world.

I don't get it either. She is considered one of the biggest failures as CEO and was ousted as a result. She was fired because of her incompetence. She actively supports engaging in another cold war with Russia and absolutely refuses to negotiate with anyone that isn't an immediate ally of the US. She apparently had a child overdose on Marijuana, which I don't even understand, but because of that she supports federal regulation of Marijuana as opposed to state regulation. She also made up descriptions of the Planned Parenthood videos to create an emotional response and garner sympathy. Her whole shtick is "I am a strong, independent women who speaks well. Now vote for me". Terrible.

The MSM has chosen Carly Fiorina as their champion of the month to try and take down Trump. Guess we will see how it goes.

Quote:This is the truth. The stage is too big for him. Not to mention he has zero qualifications to be up there in the first place.

Carson has already answered the above statement...It is about your ability to surround yourself with qualified people to assist in making decisions.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014...e-just-an/

Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace quizzed famed neurosurgeon Ben Carson during a televised interview about his possible run for the White House in 2016, asking the Republican outright: If you won, wouldn’t you just be like what critics call President Obama — an inexperienced newbie?

His exact words, Mediaite reported: “After looking at Barack Obama and what’s happened with his lack of political experience over these last six years, wouldn’t putting Ben Carson in the Oval Office be akin to putting a politician in an operating room and having him perform one of your brain surgeries?”

Mr. Carson said no — the two professions are really quite different.

“I don’t think so. I think what is required for leadership is wisdom and the ability to assembly an appropriate team, an ability to listen and an ability to make wise decisions,” Mr. Carson said, Mediaite reported. “Our system was designed by our Founders with … the will of the people in mind, not the will of the government. If you want the will of the government, yes, you need people who spend their whole lives in politics. … But I don’t think that’s what we need.”

Quote:The MSM has chosen Carly Fiorina as their champion of the month to try and take down Trump. Guess we will see how it goes.

I'd rather have Trump than Fiorina, and that's saying something.

In fact, Trump continues to look more and more like the guy I'd vote for amongst the Republican field, especially if Paul and Kasich fall to the wayside. There are words I never expected to say.

They just want a reality show. If the biggest discussion was policy between two candidates like Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, what fun would that be?

Now Fiorina and Trump talking about her looks, that brings ratings.

I will throw this out there: I was particularly delighted to see so many candidates throw Cruz's "I'll tear up the treaty on day one" nonsense right back into his face and thoroughly stomp him for even suggesting that that was a viable option.

Turn the TV on in the nursery and put it on loop. The kid will be out cold in five minutes flat.

Easy there, oface. That's if Paul and Kasich both drop out, O'Malley continues to be a nonfactor and Biden doesn't enter the race. If all four of those conditions are met, I'd have to strongly consider Trump, particularly if my alternatives are Cruz, Bush, Sanders and Clinton.

W/o saying, we are 180 degrees apart on our respective opinions of Ted Cruz and the Iran situation. But what jumps out about this from the debate standpoint is our reactions. Not only was I thrilled with Ted Cruz's answers on this subject. It also impacts my opinions of the candidates that differed with Cruz in the manner that you expressed.

I realize that John Kasich is one of your top choices. Which is fine. Yet, for me, the responses by Kasich were such a turnoff that barring something that changes dramatically, the most I plan on doing if Kasich gets the nomination is reluctantly voting for me. It would be very difficult for me to give him a campaign contribution or campaign for him in any manner. If I did campaign, it would be practically exclusively against the Democrat Nominee.

We rarely agree on politics and related subjects. But if I had to choose between these two candidates, I would also reluctantly choose Donald Trump. Hopefully, it doesn't come down to these two choices.

Quote:

Here's what scares me about that answer, and a potential deal-breaker for me on Carson: it sets him up to be a puppet. He's all but admitted to lacking the experience and knowledge to make those huge decisions, and his immediately reliance on advisors as an answer to the question makes me think he's lacking in confidence as well. I do not want another George W. Bush, who will respond to an advisor saying "jump" by asking "how high?".

I like the way the other candidates reacted because their answers recognize that Cruz's plan is buffoonery. For one, the President cannot unilaterally "tear up" a treaty. That requires Congressional approval, and that certainly takes longer than one day to accomplish. Two, they displayed an understanding of how diplomacy works in the real world that Cruz has yet to demonstrate.

Believe it or not, there is one, one possible situation in which I would have to consider voting for Cruz in the general election, but much as in your case with Kasich (who's probably my second choice amongst the Republican candidates right now), it would be a tough call between reluctantly checking the box next to Cruz or casting a write-in ballot for Deez Nuts.

I don't think Trump or Fiorina will take it. I don't think that Trump is going to be a big draw for supporters as guys like Paul, Walker, Christie and Kasich drop out. I also think that once the public realizes that a vote for Fiorina is a vote for a train wreck of a businesswoman who wants to nuke the world, her support will tank. Those supporters of failed candidates that I mentioned above will, imo, flock to Carson or Bush, and one of those two will likely overtake Trump by the time of the convention.

If it did come down to those two, I'd have little choice but to go with Trump. Fiorina is just a walking disaster waiting to happen. How a CEO who was fired after crashing the USS Hewlett Packard into the rocks, then backing up and crashing into them again over and over can represent herself as a successful businesswoman qualified to run the country is beyond me.

Fiorina really really hates Iran, unless she can make money off Iran.

   Obama went to the U.N. before he went to Congress. Before Congress could even discuss the Iran Agreement, it was approved by the U.N. with the U.S. executive support despite Congress not acting. Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Scott Walker, or anyone else who is willing to rip up the treaty should do so. For those who object, let them challenge them in court.   While we certainly disagree on this, U.S. Sovereignty is far more important to me than diplomacy, if the two clash.

   While I'm optimistic that Carly Fiorina won't win the nomination, I'm very concerned about Donald Trump winning.   The media is giving Trump much more attention than the other candidates. With a multitude of people fed up with both parties and looking for an outside who isn't politically correct,   Unfortunately and tragically, Trump has appeal. I know many people who are relatively close to being as Conservative as I am that are supporting Trump despite Trump's history of being anything but a Conservative.

As for Ben Carson, even if he won the Nomination, I think his lack of knowledge on many issues will be exposed in the general election campaign. Especially, since most of the media will be against him

I rather have Donald Trump than Jed Bush as the nominee,   if I had to choose between the two of them.

I'm honestly not sure which direction I'd go if it came down to the two of them.
