GOP debate tonight on Fox News

RE: GOP debate tonight on Fox News
I forgot about it, thanks! Televised political debates, particularly with ten participants, are to debates what the untelevised initial American Idol tryouts are to singing. 

Right now, I'm all in for The Donald. Hell, I'm registered as Independent (not to be confused in NY with the Independent Party, I discovered there is such a thing), I may even change my registration to vote in the Republican primary when I register in Florida after moving towards the end of the year. 

Trump and Sanders are the same in one vital aspect when it comes to earning my vote; integrity. You may not agree with everything or anything that comes out of their mouths, but there's no denying they mean what they say. The rest are "public servants" with a bad case of entitlement and a way of dumbing down their way of speaking to the public. 

This last bit badly grates on my nerves. I don't know quite how to describe it. Don't you know when you're being talked down to? The measured cadence is one sign. Another is the forced inflection on words that must have been highlighted from a stupid focus group. The fact that prepared speeches by educated people are given at a 5th grade reading level is annoying as hell and insulting. 

There's a long time to go, but right now I would love a Sanders vs. Trump race. I doubt seriously either one makes it, but I hope their commitment to the primary runs change the conversation.

I'm sure the highlights will be entertaining.  Oh, Jon Stewart...why did you have to retire NOW!
I think Jon Stewart is doing some sort of commentary on MSNBC right now.

Really? After the horribly racist things he has said? Do you not have empathy for those he has slandered?

I thought this debate might be lacking without Mint Julep, but I was so wrong. These guys are not disappointing me at all. I laughed so damn hard a few minutes ago, I almost choked. On soup! This is fucking hilarious. I can't take it!

GOP debate drinking game - take a swig every time Obama, Clinton and taxes is mentioned. Even with water, you will still be dead before the end.

(Yeah, I'm watching the stream. I am truly a glutton for punishment)

Can you think of anything else that would more effectively torpedo the entire Republican party's attempt at the white house, including all the racist constituents within, than Donald Trump as their representative?

And onto the abortion debate...(I'm about 5 minutes behind, Trump's schtick was just too good to watch once)
