Attention Carly: You ARE the status quo

 

[hells_unicorn]

Carly's going way too heavy on the platitudes and is keeping things extremely vague for my taste. She is doing a decent job of taking the stuffing out of Hillary Clinton.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Fiorina says she can challenge the status quo, evades the question about her most unpopular decisions as a leader. Secure the border!

Question repeated to her, she still evades the question. Secure the border again, quit spending so much money.

Hillary lied about Benghazi. 9/11! 2 points for Fiorina!

She will punch Hillary. No funds for Planned Parenthood.

Booby Jindal is on now.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

I'm actually going through everything that Jeb just said in my head, and I really wish he'd speak in English rather than Marble-Mouth because I can't make any sense out of any of it.

He choked pretty bad. Kept contradicting himself too.

 

[David Sadler]

Tuned in when Bush was speaking. What a joke.

Thought Fiorina did very well. First time I've heard her speak. Professional political class has not solved the border issue in the last 30 years. Well said.

She said the toughest decisions are those when you have to say we can't afford this anymore. Again, cuts to the bone of the problems in WDC.

Jindal is doing a little better than I expected, he's being fairly direct with his answers and using examples of his own work as governor. Can't say I'm thrilled about his stance on foreign policy, but that goes for most of them.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Jindal talking about Iran. Not sure if he gets a point because he was prompted. But two mentions of Israel. 2 points Jindal!

 

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

LOL! Eagle scout! This guy keeps adding to his image as a dork.

 

[David Sadler]

Jindal hits the globalist talking point, "Iran is the world's largest sponsor of terrorism," or something close to that. Again, this is not true. Where's the evidence?

 

[eleganz]

LOL! Eagle scout! This guy keeps adding to his image as a dork.

Personally I liked it, many Americans can relate to the boy scouts and their good reputation. Responding to the environmental question,he said leave the campsite cleaner than you found it. He had a great response in my opinion, very relatable to average Americans.

 

[hells_unicorn]

Walker is talking more about what he did as governor than what he will do if he becomes president. Granted, the questions are kind of leading him in that direction, but I literally have no idea what he plans to do. He did better than Bush and Christy, but that's not saying much.

 

[David Sadler]

Walker sounded good, but have no idea what he's done in WI.

 

[CPUd]

Jeb was not confident in his responses, like he wasn't sure if he was saying something that is gonna wreck him.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Pataki: Veterans and manufacturing companies suffer most from US tax code. Sorry, rest of you are SOL.

 

[David Sadler]

Pataki did fairly well.

 

[hells_unicorn]

Pataki did decent, not spectacular and a bit rambling, but at least he was specific.

Rand is up, oh yeah!!!

 

[rg17]

Rand is now on!

 

[Brian4Liberty]

Rand on now.

What foreign nation will you visit first if you win: Either Russia or China.

"Moderator" is grilling Rand, obviously the first and probably only hostile interview.

 

[CPUd]

Q: What information should we collect (on citizens) to prevent terrorism?

Rand: none ... 4th amendment, get a warrant.

He thought it was going to be a gotcha question, Rand handled it well.
