The OFFICIAL (10/11/11) Debate Thread! - Bloomberg / WaPo @ Dartmouth

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Newt and Bachmann should just drop out and endorse Ron already. It's bound to happen. Maybe that will push Palin to throw her support as well.

Under no circumstances will this happen.

 

[Give me liberty]

There goes Herman Cain fest

 

[RestoreTheRepublic]

Anyone else get the feeling that a majority of Americans are morons?

All you have to do is throw out a catch phrase "9-9-9!" "9-9-9!!!" and it sticks....

Inevitably, people start talking about politics and then it becomes, well that Cain guy has a plan! It's a 9-9-9 plan! Brilliant!

Depressing.

they should just give him the keys to the white house right now. i mean, they basically treat it like it's a done deal he'll win

 

[SpiritOf1776_J4]

So Cain directly lied about something he said in a video most of us have seen, and said Alan Greenspan is his favorite fed chairman.

 

[eduardo89]

are they going to interview anyone else?

 

[dan5430]

Cain is a business man who has sold crap/junk to people....Burger King, Godfather's Pizza, Federal Reserve, Pillsbury, goes on and on...

 

[HOLLYWOOD]

He's a Bilderberg Group attendee.

Thanks... now we know, damn Elitists and Power Players control all the Debates, all the Dialog, all the Time.

Where's Ross Perot or other Millionaires/Billionaires and their money to help with this BORG BULLSHIT?

Too bad the fact checkers won't bother looking that up

 

[beardedlinen]

I think it's necessary that Paul somehow deal with the "Cain Problem". Cain needs to be called out on his Fed roots, his Awlaki flip-flopping, his support for TARP, lack of experience in the public sector, etc. It would be punching up anyway since that tool is registering so high in national polls.

 

[archlinux]

Anyone else notice when they went to the audience (a lady who was a small business owner) asked a question and the mediator asked who it was directed out... she said "I was instructed to direct that to you" was she referring to Romney or the mediator?

OMG! Can't believe people haven't figured out yet the only reason Gingrich, Santorun and Huntsman are even in the race still is to take time away from Ron and Newt is the best at stealing Ron's thunderous talking points.

 

[MJU1983]

So did the debate suck? I didn't get to watch.

Why in the world would anyone expect Newt to endorse Ron Paul under any circumstances at all? He campaigned for his primary opponent.

Bachmann's at least in the realm of the understandable, since she and he have been political allies, and she owes him back for endorsing her. But Newt? He'd sooner endorse Obama.

cain is doomed , he is ignorant on most issues .

Ron Paul is the only threat to the Establishment. And these people represent the establishment. They will stay in as long as possible to keep as many voices on stage as possible to dilute Ron out.

I agree! If the average American reads at an 8th grade level, what's to say they don't listen at the same level?

So are the American people. Perfect match.

 

[eduardo89]

Not a single Ron Paul clip in the highlight reel?
