Gulch Live: 2016 Presidential Debates
Join Atlas Shrugged Producer Harmon Kaslow and Associate Producer Scott DeSapio (me) for a live comment streaming event in the Gulch during the 1st GOP Primary debates tonight. Get your popcorn and settle in. This is gonna be good.
Inspired by jbrenner's comment yesterday ( http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/posts... ) we've put together a live streaming comment feature that will enable all Gulch members to engage in a real-time conversation while watching the debate. It's kind of like chat... but... not.
HOW IT WORKS:
1. At 5PM ET, go to the Gulch Activity feed: http://www.galtsgulchonline.com/activ...
2. At the top, you'll see a "Gulch Live" box.
3. Type your comment, submit, and poof, your comment will be automatically injected into the stream - along with everyone else's comments as well.
NOTE
- Post your comments in the Activity Feed for the best experience. If you post your comments here, you'll not see the live stream responses and things might get a little confusing.
- When addressing someone on the feed, consider using @membername to address them directly or no one will no who you're talking to.
- All comments submitted to the feed will automatically be added to this post.
Thanks Jim for the suggestion. Let's do this.

EDIT: Thanks to everyone who participated last night. Harmon and I had a great time and we're very much looking forward to the next Gulch Live event!

"I want to know if any of them have received a word from God on what they should do and take care of first.
Senator Cruz, start from you. Any word from God?"
I'm surprised that none of the candidates responded to this as a trap question which will be used by the Democrats to would show how delusional about religion all of the GOP candidates are. Instead every one of them energetically leapt into the trap.
Since all of them appear to be hearing voices from God, why don't they spare us their sanctimony and simply commune with each other while consulting the voices they are all hearing to determine which God-selected leader we will all be having to follow in saving our country from Obama and the Clintons and the wreckage they have wrought?!
Jeb Bush - could have done better, I think he slips after tonight. I think he seemed squishy.
Kasich - very impressive, and I like his approach to fixing long-term drains on the economy (long term incarceration, revolving door of drug addicts in prisons)... While it sucks to spend taxpayer resources on that stuff, we need to fix our broken criminal justice and prison system. Spending some now, to not have to imprison millions in the future is common sense to me. Whoever the nominee is would be stupid to not look seriously at Kasich as a running mate. Bringing Ohio really changes the battlefield... Bush/Kasich would be an easy win for Florida & Ohio and pretty much locks out a Hillary victory as long as Trump doesn't go rogue.
Ben Carson - I really want to like him, and he's extremely intelligent.. his ability to articulate and deliver is really questionable though. His answers were awesome though, I think he goes up. No one is attacking him either, which is a plus.
Marco Rubio - Robo candidate. I thought he might be ok for VP before, but he's not even ready for that. He'd be another Dan Quayle.
Scott Walker - I genuinely like him, but he looks like a high school kid running for class president. I just can't take him seriously.
Chris Christie - too much baggage at this point.
Rand Paul - I'm just not a fan. The ideals are attractive, but he just seems a little bit on the loopy/crazy side like his dad. It's a personality issue for me, not necessarily his politics. I also don't like how every time someone turns a camera on, he's like a moth to the flame.
Ted Cruz - Likable, but not sure he's electable in the general. I'm not really sure he fits at all this time around.

Coincidence?
Ack-ack! Ack-ack-ack!
This post was referencing Dennis Kucinich's, that's right, Dennis Kucinich's, interview after the first (JV) debate.
I have no idea why Fox was interviewing Kucinich, but they were.
computer at home, and the library wasn't even o-
pen at that time. I didn't even know about the
"streaming" arrangement. But I did listen to it,(the
big debate, I mean) on my radio.
Previously, I was discontented with Trump
mainly because his candidacy interfered with
Walker's. But then, Trump's arrogance gave me
an even worse impression. He seems even wil-
ling to play a "spoiler" role and get the Democrat
in. He was also brazen about his willingness to,
in effect, bribe politicians, and not to be embar-
rassed about his lack of principle.
As to Walker, I am afraid he has lost at
least one vote--mine. Perhaps I should have
known about it before, but his opposition to al-
lowing ANY abortion, even in case of rape, is
unconscionable. When asked about saving the
life of the mother, he made remarks about the
mother's life being saved in some other (un-
specified) way, which is evidence of his trying
to impose his wishes on reality, rather than
confronting it.---I am sad and disillusioned, but
better before than after. Perhaps I will vote for
Ted Cruz in the primary.
"The earth is here for us...we aren't here for the earth."
The American people in 2014, mad as hell, overwhelmingly elected Republicans to congress who promised to reverse the unconstitutional executive orders and overreach of Obama.
Following those elections, the Republican majority in both houses did what? They did nothing, revealing that Republican "leadership" never had any intention of reversing Obama's policies.
My fellow Republicans on this stage have all made a variety of promises tonight, big promises, about how they plan to restore America. They ask for your trust.
The question now for you isn't, who has the best plan. It is, can you trust any member of the professional political class standing on this stage to make good on any of the promises they've made tonight.
I'm Donald Trump, successful business man, proven winner, and I ask for your consideration.
Steve Jobs remains a hero to me.
I did not see this until today. Would have been fun last night.

Don't look surprised! :)
