CNN Jacksonville, FL Debate (1/26/12) 8p ET - Official Thread!

41 minutes, have they talked about Ron yet?

In the first couple minutes, there were mentions that Paul did well in the debate. Though I haven't heard anything since.

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Good Luck to you!

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm glad there is some time, but the establishment is all-in against me so it's gonna be tough.

 

[jcarcinogen]

Well, they are right. A Grinch nomination would almost certainly keep Obama in office, very probably retain Democratic control of the Senate, and quite likely return the House to the Democrats. It would be an utter disaster for GOP partisans.

A Romney nomination also guarantees another Obama term. The whole populist occupy/tax/15'er narrative has been set in place.

I think Dr. Paul is going to get a little bounce from this debate. Newt is being pummeled by all sides now, Romney is Romney and Santorum just came off an angry paranoid hothead tonight. I think a of voters will give Dr. Paul a second look.

He did well, so they BLACK RON PAUL OUT for the next 3/4s of an hour?


Yeah, we know this game, mention, so you don't have it broadcasted around the country that you ignored him for 52 minutes like the last debate.

Pundints are PAID too... so you won't hear them bringing up Ron Paul... they want to keep their paaychecks going. I see Carville is missing tonight. Mentioned too many good things about Ron Paul in the last dialog?

So sick of this crap,,, there needs to be a grassroots media attack at the next debate against CNN

 

[sparebulb]

Regardless of personal opinions we need to deal with reality. Santorum sold himself well tonight and has secured at least a 3rd place finish. Mitt has won.

You have trouble making new friends, don't you?

 

[phil4truth]

No Ron talk on CNN yet...just Newt bashing

Mittens is the establishment man and if Paul isn't the nominee he will be. Grinch and Santers are side shows to keep the audience entertained.

 

[phil4truth]

You have trouble making new friends, don't you?

Lol don't think so I tend to simply deal with facts no matter if they are unpopular as does Ron.

A Romney nomination also guarantees another Obama term. The whole populist occupy/tax/15'er narrative has been set in place.

I agree, but with Romney we are more likely to retain a GOP House and maybe even gain a seat or two in the Senate. Romney is "meh" and people focus on Congress. Grinch is "YUCK" and will drive voters blue-ward in Congress too.

 

[affa]

they are bashing newt and praising santorum trying to move votes to keep RP in 4th.

 

[blazeKing]

THEY'RE ABOUT TO TALK ABOUT PAUL!!

 

[Paulite]

going to talk paul now

 

[The Gold Standard]

Santorum is getting a major push on CNN.

 

[dancjm]

"I wanted to talk about Ron Paul, but Eric - you wanted to make a point about Santorum..."

*Sigh*

 

[RonPaulMyPresident]

Will y'all please shut up debating Christianity vs Mormonism? The religious subforum is over there ---->

The only thing it does is make us look insane and sow hatred between Paulers. in case you haven't looked, we can't afford a divided base.

You're right. I started that debate and want to end it. We are free to call ourselves whatever we like, and practice whatever faith we like in the Land of the Free which is what makes America so great.

Freedom and Liberty for all. United we stand. Divided we fall.

Ron Paul 2012.

 

[donnay]

AC is now talking about Dr. Paul.

 

[affa]

Regardless of personal opinions we need to deal with reality.

Convenient that reality happens to coincide with your personal opinion, ain't it?

 

[justatrey]

Talking about Ron Paul right now...he had a "strong performance tonight"

"No question he was the most likeable candidate...he was funny..."

 

[dancjm]

"Most likable person on the stage." & "should have been wearing a sweater!"

lol

 

[GunnyFreedom]

Anderson brings up Paul, above the fray, good lines, distancing from drama. Most likeable, funny. stream broke in middle of conversation. able to laugh at himself. Claims Cuban voters will hate him for his Cuba position.
