Are there people out there who are as tenacious as I am in watching these debates?
Join me in this addiction to the American political process!
8:04 – Christie has overtaken Bush in the polls? I totally missed that.
8:05 – Cruz is such a freakazoid. Everything about him is just off. Why don’t people see that? And also, “Obama Clinton economy”? WTF is that? Stupid dick.
8:10 – everybody is criticizing Obama for not being an apocalyptic drama queen in his State of the Union speech on Monday. Losers.
8:22 – I didn’t know Cruz was a crook. It’s good to find out. Not only is he not qualified to run because of his citizenship, he’s also in some financial mess.
8:26 – am I imagining it, or is there a lot more commercials than usual? And are they a lot creepier than normal?
8:28 – Cruz is making a limp-wristed attack on Trump. What a weakling.
8:31 – the audience is booing Trump. He deserves booing but not over stupid Cruz. Trump held his own admirably in the face of the booing.
8:35 – Trump and Cruz are doing some weird catty thing about who’ll be whose Veep. In the midst of all the bickering, Rubio squeaks, pointing at Christie, “He supports the Common Core!”
8:46 – seriously? Bill Clinton’s sex life of 20-30 years ago? What a bunch of sore losers.
8:57 – Rubio is attacking what Obama said in his campaign 8 years ago? Because that’s very relevant to this election? Where Obama is not running? Is Rubio high?
9:04 – Cruz really stepped into it when he handed Trump a chance to bring up the World Trade Center.
9:15 – Carson is done. It’s time for the poor fellow to quit. He started shrieking about how much he wants to bomb people and looked very unstable.
9:20 – Trump’s television career is putting him far ahead of the pack. He knows how to squeeze his camera time for every ounce of potential.
9:21 – Bush is channeling Bernie Sanders’s foreign policy position verbatim.
9:25 – just a few phrases, and the erstwhile hecklers are eating out of Trump’s hand. He’s good.
9:33 – now China is Trump’s sworn enemy. It’s like he detests everybody but Putin.
9:42 – all this talk about China is soporific.
9:55 – Rubio’s right: Cruz’s tax plan is nuts. The last thing we need is a sales tax.
9:56 – Christie is attacking the Republican congress and defending social security? What is happening?

“I didn’t know Cruz was a crook. It’s good to find out.”
His whole origin story is that he was a plucky underdog who sold everything he and his wife had to raise money for his campaign. Turns out his wife is a Goldman Sachs director, and he got a low-interest loan from them.
I think Cruz is the most devious candidate we’ve seen in a long time.

I thought nothing could make him more disgusting to me but a connection to Goldman Sachs did the job.

The birther thing is a mistake on Trump’s part, because he really shouldn’t be evoking sympathy for Cruz. His face was absolutely priceless when Cruz pointed out Trump’s mother was born in Scotland, but Trump maintained control, more or less.

So bored.
They should come up with disaster hypotheticals.
Suppose the Chinese start manufacturing wi-fi enabled guns for the personal and home protection market. These guns are cheaper than American guns and are popular with consumers, but on the other hand they take away jobs from American gun manufacturers. Also imagine that the TPP is in effect and most consumers have are under contracts to arbitrate if cause for a lawsuit should arise. Imagine a bunch of patriots/policemen in an open carry state are meeting at a chamber of commerce meeting with some kindergartners in attendance and someone hacks the guns, causing them to fire and kill half the policemen and some of the children. Imagine the router, and the guns are assembled in part in China and in the United States. Also imagine that later you discover that the monopoly internet provider failed to take proper precautions. What do you do, Mr. President?
