So, um, uh, yeah, um, ok, Bush sounds very, um, uh, presidential.

The 2016 Presidential Election Primary Thread

Everything about this debate is making me uncomfortable. Now I remember why I never watch these things.

It's the first one I've enjoyed watching for years. I loved Mitt too much to have fun watching the debates. With no strong rooting interest it's a good time.

Nobody says "so um yeah um okay" more than Barack Hussein Obama. Lamestream media won't tell you that though.

[LA Ute]

His lead is totally mystifying. If he's leading a week away from this debate then something is obviously rigged.

He's the "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore" candidate.

This things not over yet. Long ways to go still.

Network was a great movie.

Try as I might I can't hate Kasich or Bush. Kasich could be a problem.

Doubling down on criminalizing abortion, fighting gay marriage, Mexican border wall, the Bible/Jesus, reversing Obamacare, not expanding Medicaid.

As horrible as Hillary is, I'm thinking she's got a chance.

A problem in what way? (I'm not familiar with your political leanings)

I think Kasich would be the best candidate by far and would have the best shot to win a general election. I would be happy with Kasich or Walker. Bush and Rubio are kind of meh for me. The rest make me sad or angry.

haha you are obviously unaware of all the progress the GOP made in the recent elections. that clearly means that these xenophobic and homophobic policies are probably starting to gain traction again.

My political leanings are the opposite direction. Even back to his days in the House I have thought that Kasich was a serious and pragmatic politician.

That debate was interesting. The gang from Fox News was pretty terrific. They asked some hard questions and allowed a good fight or two. After watching I now like Rubio in addition to Walker, Bush and Kasich. I also don't mind Christie as much.

Fox did a good job, except Megyn Kelly hurt Trump's feelings.

I like Walker, Kasich, and Bush, in that order, but I'm not excited about any of them. We need a president that focuses on the economy and (real) national security issues. The Mexican border isn't a national security issue. Reagan wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the primary today. How the hell Donald Trump ever became a serious candidate is beyond me. None of these people, with the exception of maybe Bush, has a shot at taking out Hillary.

I was not impressed by Ben Carson. I thought Bush, Kasich and Rubio did well.
