Is anyone else looking forward to this? I can not wait and it is all because of the TRUMP factor! I just wish Perry and Graham had made the cut and gone after Donald some. I don't know about him being POTUS, but man has he brought some entertainment to this!

Doesn't it feel like regardless of what happens between now and then it is going to be Clinton vs bush in the end?

This is the Republicans Super Bowl tonight. Their already talking about drinking games. Wonder if you can wager on any this. A good one would be how many times Trump says your fired.

Donald Trump: ‘I’m not a debater’



“I’m not a debater,” Trump said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “These politicians — I always say, they’re all talk, no action. They debate all the time. They go out and they debate every night. I don’t debate.”
“Maybe my whole life is a debate, in a way,” Trump continued. “But the fact is I’m not a debater and they are. But with that being said, I look forward to it. We’ll see what happens. Who knows?” :)

“I don’t think I’m going to be throwing punches,” he said. “I’m not looking to attack them. … Every attack I made was a counterpunch. I mean, they attacked me first and I hit them back and maybe harder than they hit me. But the fact is that I’ve been attacked pretty viciously by some of these guys. And I have a lot of respect for numerous people on the stage. I will tell you, I have great respect for some of the people on the stage. But I have been attacked and I counterpunch. I didn’t start the attacks.”



k, some candidate has to piss him off, need this chap to snap....:)

Anything is better then Nobama.

hmmm... things change very superficially with any of the 2 parties or candidates, yes, each guy has his own agenda but he will go as far as the powers that be let him (aka the fed) but yeah I mean, I still like Obama better than Trump ANYDAY, and better than Hillary for fuck's sake... I'd like to see Rand Paul winning (his father was 10x better) but that is so unlikely is not even funny.

His unfavorables are still pretty high but he is polling really well among "working class" voters.

Most of his support is based on a few cliches, he really has no core policy as far as we know so far. The rhetoric only goes so far, eventually he'll have to atleast deliver some substance. I think he'll fade but I also think we're pretty close to an outside the box candidate making a real run, I just figured it would happen a little later than 2016.

It should be entertaining at the very least.

Bernie Sanders would beat Trump in the primary which is scary. They both agree on immigration too. We're in a Bizzaro world for sure. Trump has been a huge lefty on a variety of issues most his life, including gun control, socialized health care, pro choice ect, then says he wants to build a wall (which is really a big government solution, by the way) and boom he's now the front runner. Zero substance on anything else really, he's the anti-politician which I like and understand that's where his support is coming from. I really want to know where Trump stands on things like the war on drugs, and foreign policy. I also want to know where he stands on the patriot act, and executive power. Is he going to represent, or is he going to rule. I imagine him not giving a shit about the separation of powers, and claiming even more executive power than the last two presidents. It'd be nice to know these things. FOX represents the establishment, so he will be hit with some tough questions tonight for sure.

If I were in charge of asking the FOX questions I'd ask something like "What would you do for the troops" "Do you love America?"

Basically any softball question I could think of. Why would you kill the golden goose so fast? I'm sure they want him in as many debates as possible.
