    -1 I give no time to leftist drones. The proof of the DNC treason was O-care, all D's walking lockstep to lead the nation into government enslavement.

    I can summarize this "debate" in one paragraph:
    Q - There are accusations of you cheating on your wife. How do you respond to that?
    A - Let me tell you; I have to be honest with you; the first week of our marriage we were truly close and honest with each other, and we were honest with the American people. Truthfully, there is no basis for this accusation.

    On the Herbie Boring Scale which runs from -10 to + 10 it was a -12. At least the first few minutes were. I even got bored from listening to the putzes, er, make that pundits, tell us about it. Thank goodness for the History Channel.

    I usually watch such things, the better to know what the other side is "thinking." (Use of scare quotes intentional.)

    But with this venue? Her Royal Highness Queen Hillary I, loony old Bernie Sanders and the slate of also-rans?

    No thanks. That's one snake pit I don't need to look into.

    Yea, boring, maybe even sickening if the questions are presented in a way as to facilitate and compliment the responder...
    Unless- Hilary makes a fool of herself, now that might ignite some interest.

      Hillary makes a fool of herself all the time. The Lame Stream Media just covers it up. They won't be able to do that tonight so hopefully she makes a major gaffe. Wonder how many Benghazi questions she will get?

        Rich: Benghazi... that would be a litmus test to the validity of the entire debate.
        Unless the commentators "sweeten" it up for her, e.g., "Well now Hilary, you know you have received some negative comments from the Republicans concerning the unfortunate Benghazi event that occurred several years ago, and what would you say to the voters tonight?"

        Translates to:
        -in the historical past and not really relevant today
        -blame the Republicans, they are always after you
        -"unfortunate event", yes, just an event that was unfortunate so "what difference does it make now!"

        I seriously doubt any male commentator will be caught "roughing her up" and that puts her already ahead of the game.

    Comments from around the net were predictably unpredictable. One was Hillary's War(code name for left wing of the left) role playing as opposition and the Republicans In Name Only (code for right wing of the left) all you have for her to fight with are....Rand maybe and Jindal for sure with what's his name Cruz as a long shot possibility.

    As for Carly F. Amazing how fast she dropped off the front pages since I started floating that idea of her as the Democrats Hillary Bomb defuser.

    That leaves the Chief Rino role playing as an outsider Tweety Bird Trump.

    Bernie was predictably weak as he's still covering his Marxist-Leninest roots and routes.

    But here was the big surprise.

    Hillary in an attempt one would assume to regain her control of the left wing and right wing of the left admitted to being a progressive. (No longer code name but straight up out in the open as a socialist corportatist STATIST and chief handmaiden (scratch hand maiden insert sockpuppette) to George Soros, Yoda, the whole gamut of the not so smiley faced lef wing fascist from ACLU through Raul and Carlos Marighella back to the originators.

    Now imagine that having one finger on the button and the ability to dictate through executive orders....two words not found in the Constitution but heavily laced into the Patrioit Act.

    Just to put things in perspective. You get the choice of the greater and lesser of evils with all the other shades in between in one package.

    We only have one or two of their strong supporters on long term visas to the Gulch. Comrades...your turn.

    I heard some of it over my radio. I say "some of
    it" because I DID fall asleep. But no big deal. It
    was a surprise to hear Hillary Clinton defending
    capitalism at all (of course I consider that merely
    hypocrisy on her part); but no matter, I'm not going to vote for any of those Democrats, any-
    way. Of them all, I consider Jim Webb about
    the least bad. But I'm not going to vote for any
    of them.

    As I noted elsewhere, I couldn't force myself to watch more than about 30 seconds at a time over the period of about 15 minutes. My brain was about explode so I got out the Bailey's and coffee and a good book.

    I had to skip the intros so I didn't vomit, but from 10 minutes in it was predictable & boring. The only reason I didn't fall asleep is because I was learning how to use a new smartphone while the 'debates' (read that as talking points) played in the background.

    I will not grade it because it's after the fact now. I don't fight what they say, I now try to repeat it, quote it if possible, and then attempt to put forward the facts: "Where does the money come from for this free stuff?" "Who pays, obviously not the politicians, but it comes out of your pocket in advance whether you'll personally ever use it or not." Do you really believe the constitution was wrong on the Second Amendment? How does the lack of a second amendment actually work in North Korea, what are the Russians experiencing now, how about the Australians? I've got friends from down under, they feel they were duped. What is the average tax rate in Copenhagen? At 60.2%, Denmark last year had the highest top personal income tax rate among the 34 countries in the OECD. Are you willing to give up 60% or more of your wages so others can benefit from you working? Or might you suppose that you will just stop working and instead just take your "fair share"? "Who will do the work then to earn the money for the government to give away?" "Has the government ever given you any money that you didn't first give them?"

    The RNC needs to stop arguing and fighting with the DNC, and just start repeating what the the DNC says, explaining it to those that clap like trained seals that these ideas are nice, but it's just not possible unless every successful person is sucked down to the same level as our average poorest. Has anyone noticed there are even some poor plumbers out there but we hardly ever see a poor politician? Each of us only need to convert one eligible voter, that shouldn't be so hard, and if you can do more please do so. No arguable rhetoric, just the facts.

    Just my two cents worth, I could be wrong, you decide.
