Democratic debates

[AllPurposeAtheist]

Anyone paying attention to the Republican crybabyfest renamed 'debate'?  So far as I can tell it's all about blaming CNBC for not showering them with love and softball questions even though there have been no questions of  substance ..

The best line I read so far was: This may be the first presidential debate with more people in the debate than actual viewers watching.

[AllPurposeAtheist]

GOP candidates complain questions are just too hard.  This is important that we have a president completely incapable of answering softball questions from a media bought and paid for by them!

Let's get down to substantive questions. How do you spell A?

Can I get a hint?

I actually could not find the channel it was on. I looked for a good 5 minutes before giving up. Given the reports this morning, I apparently didn't miss much. Other than Carly Fiorina claiming to be Clinton's worst nightmare. Hahahahahahahah

Twas on CNBC, the channel nobody really watches anyway and is pretty much a right wing shill channel so they went and attacked their own shill channel for asking questions that the 'candidates' didn't like. 
On the plus side Marco Rubio (my spell check turns Rubio into dubious HA!) gets the distinct honor of getting to blow Sheldon Alderson for the rest of the election and  Ted Cruz is fed up with the 'liberal main stream media' for not falling in love with him and not being super super nice to the Donald ..

JEB tried to shoot down Rubio ... but got shot down instead.  Blowback is a bitch ... go JEB (anywhere but the White House).

Here's what I wish could happen.

Bernie Sanders is a socialist pretending to be a Democrat. Rand Paul is a libertarian pretending to be a Republican. It would be cool for them to be nominated by their respective puppet parties, and then at their first debate both renounce their memberships in the party that nominated them and have an actual discussions/debate on policy issues without being tied to a ridiculous party platform.

They can then decide that on social issues, they are the same.

They can make compromises that cut spending to lots of unnecessary and redundant government programs that Paulie dislikes while reallocating a some of those funds to some of the domestic spending programs Bernie wants. They can lower taxes on individuals and corporations while closing loopholes to ensure those taxes actually get paid.

Perhaps most importantly, both "major parties" can be outraged because they were shown to be ineffective pieces of garbage whose powers are drawn from keeping us bickering over nonsense.

You've been watching too many Disney movies. :lol_hitting:

Yeah, it's a big wish, I know. If it really were a Disney movie, the villain would be a little more defined and Paulie and Bernie would agree that settle their differences and run on the same ticket.

Here's an emoticon for the Republican debates:

I don't want Rand Paul anywhere near the white house

I don't want Rand Paul anywhere near the white house

No one does, I'm just sayin'... I'd pick him on social issues over any of the other Republicant's.

I vote TomFoolery for President!

She has my vote--maybe I'll write her in on my ballot.

You can if you like, but I'm writing in Quark on my ballot.

At least he's upfront about his greed.

If only political opponents looked like a different species, they would be easier to identify ;-)
