Tonights CNN debate is going to be another farce. (now with post commentary)

All reports suggest that CNN is only interested in creating a fight amongst the candidates which won't be much of a problem since most of the candidates have no clue as to why they are such losers.

The sad fact is that while Trump is far from perfect, many will sell their souls just to get rid of the invaders.

The sad fact is that most Republicans do not realize that the real issues at stake in this race are not political solutions.

Here's a clue, American's want to be American's again.  They want their way of life resurrected.  They want to have their way of life defended.  They want someone that can point out the corrupt ideas & practices of the Left and shine a light on the doctrines that truly set men free. Counter bad, perverted ideas vomited by Marx with real ideas that are based upon Judeo-Christian values that made a great nation, great.   Values that bring honor & purpose & dignity to the Human being.  Not the starvation, disease, & lead poisoning that their psychotic god of rape & plunder taught them.

I've heard glimmers of Freedom being defended & explained by Ben Carson & Carly Fiorina.  They get it.  They know this is a war of ideas.  But will they be able to stick to the real issues or be dragged down into the sewers made by the dumbMass media?  The same media that makes its money off our misery therefore wanting to keep the status quo if not enhance it.  A status quo of division (cloaked in phony robes of inclusiveness) & hatred (while wearing the mantle of love but only for non-Christians).

I don't have much hope that Reason will win the day in the lunatic asylum that America has become.  I hope to be proven wrong!

Above are my thoughts about the debate... here are my thoughts after the debate:

Pleasantly surprised.  It actually sounded like a debate.

CNN just schooled Fox News on how to have a debate.  Remember- 35% of the time at the last debate was used up by preening Fox News peacocks!

My initial thoughts are that Trump did much better than I expected.  And it looks like he's risen even further in the polls since.

Truthfully, I really don't think any of them stood out.

I still have hope for Carson or Fiorina or even Cruz.  But if it comes down to it I'll vote for Trump.

Why?  Because I don't believe the politicians in the group will be able to change anything.  They've been ineffectual so far and will continue to attack problems in a political way.  I.e., an ever losing proposition.  Also, don't care if these Governor's have been successful in their respective States... the royal courts of DC are a special kind of stupid.

Why?  Although I like what I hear from Carson & Fiorina (they get what the real problem is), I don't think they will have the force of will to accomplish what needs to be done.  I could advise how.  Its obvious their handlers don't know how.  And as for Cruz.  I totally believe he would stick his foot up some rear ends, with no effect.  He's alienated too many politicians on both sides of the aisle.  They would fight anything he proposes out of spite.

Why?  Because the only person I believe would kick true butt is Trump.  And there will need to be a boatload of kicking to be done for whoever gets into the White House.  And, what needs to be done will be much easier for an outsider.

Side note- another reason I don't have hope for any of the other candidates is that they (and Fox News porn) don't get why Trump is so popular.  If only one of them took a stand like he did or does, they'd rocket past him.  But, since they are trained politicians, it will never happen.  With the exceptions of Carson & Fiorina of course.  Whats blocking them from taking over Trump is lack of ego, also known as force of will.

Long ways to go.  Again, pleasantly surprised by the glimmers of a debate last night.  Further fuels my hatred of news porn as glamorized by Fox.  But I digress...

How the GOP & Fox News are turning me into a Trumper

The more the GOP & Fox News tell me I'm stupid (derogatory on their part at best) or simply being entertained (beyond condescending on their part) for listening to Trump, the more I start to lean towards Trump.

Its getting to the point where I can't watch Fox News anymore.  They are as out of touch as their rivals.... or maybe they are finally showing their true colors.  Evidence that fiasco of a 'debate', nothing but a question/answer session with preening peacocks for moderators who used up a third of the time on themselves.  But I digress...

I've complained about Fox News analysis in the past.  Case in point, the revolution in Egypt which was hailed as an Arab spring (I knew better) by Fox pontificators and then compared it to the Berlin Wall coming down (blew a couple of blood vessels on that one).   I could use more examples but I'm going to jump straight to their bewildered & befuddled coverage of Trump.

Again, they've called those that listen to Trump everything from being outright stupid to us just wanting to be entertained.  Why?  Because either they are:

> Not smart enough to figure it out
> Working for a GOP that has turned its back on Americans
> Completely out of touch
> Secretly wants to keep illegals in America for ratings

Pick one or all.  Doesn't matter.  Fox's coverage is turning me into a Trumper.

Better yet, Fox will never understand either.

Special shout out to Dana Perino who is a special kind of RINO or attack schnauzer for phony human rights!   What a snarly miniature pit bull she was the other night on O'Reilly... practically spitting venom through her eyes at poor Water's World boy.  But then again, holier than thou types have that type of behavior down pat.  

Fox (and GOP) you're losing me.  Not even Fair & Balanced anymore.  Just a bunch of hormonal opinions.  Getting closer to Trump every day because of you.

Fox News Debate Farce

Guess I'm the only one that thought ‪#‎FoxNews‬ stunk it up last night with more than a few 'gotcha' questions that had nothing to do with the sad state of affairs in America today.

It wasn't just the many 'gotcha' questions but also how full of themselves the moderators were.  Ironically, just read another article a few minutes ago timing the moderators at 32% of the talking time.

Way to go for being more like ‪#‎CNN‬ everyday!  Even before I knew CNN was praising the performance of the debate, I congratulated Fox News on how CNN-like they had become.  More irony.

The first debate was masterfully done compared to the main event since we actually got more out of the candidates, who they were and their positions without the snark.  And those that know how much I hate Bill Hemmer will know how hard it is for me to admit this.  It too was not a debate but at least it had useful information.

The main event was a farce.  It was about the moderators showing off how they could, or tried to, trip up the candidates on issues that make no difference whatsoever as to the sad state of affairs in this country... well, except for Abortion.  But even when that subject was touched it wasn't expounded upon as to not only what a barbaric, nazi-esque practice it is.... also how it destroys the soul of the country.  I take that back, Huckabee did a wonderful job on it and actually had an impressive answer to it.  Since I've always believed Abortion (and our Education system) are Human Rights violations, he nailed it.  Makes me re-think Huckabee.

Despite the inane questions, there were a few standouts.  Like I mentioned, Huckabee impressed me but so did Carson & Cruz.

Another standout comes from the first (non)debate- Carly Fiorina.  Impressive.

I was expecting a lot more out of Trump & Kasich, with bad questions what do you expect.  But then again, its the opportunity to overturn the tables on the bloviating moderators.  The rest aren't even worth a mention.

Hannity's interviews afterwards gave us more than the actual 'debate'.

Despite some impressive performances, especially by Fiorina & Carson, the (non)debate screamed 2012 all over again!

Fiorina & Carson were the most impressive of the group though.

They get it.  This election is not about jobs or material wealth.  Its about why our way of thinking is better than theirs.  Both candidates spent quite a bit of time speaking as to how our current thinking is destroying us & what we need to believe in to be great again.

What we believe is what is going to save or sink us.  I think they get that.

One more thing I would say is that people are looking for something to believe in not their next job.

The America of Today is not worth believing in but the America of the Past (sans its mistakes) was worth believing in & defending.  Seeing an American flag fluttering in the wind used to bring a tear to my eye.  Corny but true.

Hopefully their political handlers don't throw these candidates off course like they did Newt Gingrich.

America is an idea, not a place.

Then again, I think the next election is pointless (unless the arguments change just like Carson & Fiorina have done)... but more on that later.
