Tuesday night’s GOP debate

Posted on by

Hugh Hewitt & Donald TrumpCNN hosted the final Republican debate of 2015, Tuesday, December 15th.  Once again Hugh Hewitt was one of the questioners, and Wolf Blitzer was the moderator.

GOP Debate 12-15-2015First Debate:

Consisting of George Pataki, Rick Santorum, Lindsay Graham and Mike Huckabee, Huckabee appeared the most relaxed and easily spoken, whilst Graham was the most contentious but most emotive and passionate of the bunch, making some points as well.  In my mind, Graham was the winner though I certainly did not agree on all of his points.  The bottom line is this: the GOP could do without all of those persons clotting the ranks.  They should all move on.  They are yesterday’s news.

Second Debate:

The “prime” debate consisted of John Kasich, Carly Fiorina, Marco Rubio, Ben Carson, Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie and Ron Paul.

Rand Paul was obnoxious, Trump neither won nor lost and, to my mind, it was a toss-up between Cruz and Rubio.  Though, I must say, Christie did in fact score some serious points.

Ben Carson was massively unimpressive; a manikin could have been substituted with equal efficacy.  Carson isn’t ready for much of anything political.  Yes, no argument, Carson is the quintessential nice and good man.  He is not a politician and not ready for a position like this at all.  I should submit he’d best stick with his day job and, at most, local politics.

Kasich was also obnoxious.  He always has been.  There is a certain “something” about Kasich that simply rubs me the wrong way.

Fiorina spoke well but no one seems interested in listening to her. Her campaign appears to be, however, run by morons who have no idea how to market her.

Bush tried massively to be what he is not: overbearing, pushy, contentious — and it doesn’t play well with him because that’s not his nature.  Most everyone can tell it’s a FALSE persona, apparently shoved onto him by his handlers.  It’s fallacious and duplicitous and even 5-year-olds can see through it.  Bush is done, stick a fork in him.  He’s not the future of the GOP.  This proves Bush will do anything to win the presidency.  Things that are so incredibly removed from his comfort factor.

We see you, Jeb.  We know who you are and who you aren’t.

Since writing this a few hours ago, I have some further input.

Upon further consideration, Cruz and Rubio disappoint.

It is Christie who, frankly, appears more presidential and not so navel-gazing.

As Americans, we tend to quantify people as winners or losers.

In this debate, first, who was the loser?

In my opinion, that’s easy: CNBC was the loser.  The “moderators.”

They should be ashamed of their clear bias but Leftists have no concept of “shame.”  Shame itself is a biased concept according to the Leftist philosophy.  No one should be made to feel ashamed.  Except, of course, Conservatives.  They actually stood up for themselves.

This debate boosted CNBC’s ratings more in one night than in the last few years.  CNBC knows that, which is why they agreed.  John Harwood was a smug NYT-typical goon displaying his true colors.  Proving nothing more than: CNBC still sucks.  And CNBC, tomorrow, will go back to being as insignificant as it was on Tuesday.  A fly speck.

Specifically, CNBC ratings became higher in one night than they’ve been in the past four years. Due to the GOP.  And CNBC despises the GOP.  It’s their job.

The very first question: “what’s your greatest weakness.”  Each question was no accident.  It wasn’t “off the cuff.”  There was nothing “off the cuff” for these debate questions.  The primary question was: “how are we going to fuck these Republicans?”

“Even in New Jersey what you’re doing now is called rude.”

Frankly, the candidates beat the moderators Wednesday night.  Each moderator was a Flaming Liberal.

The story was: the moderators tried, at every turn, to bait the candidates.  The story slowly became about the coalescence of the GOP group as opposed to the moderators.  Carly Fiorina spoke for the greatest amount of time, Jeb Bush for the least amount of time, with Rand Paul next least.  Rubio spoke for the “second greatest” amount of time.  Jeb Bush is now in keeping with his replacement of Mitt Romney for the poster child of “uninvolved.”

The judgment in retrospect will be: this was a train wreck for CNBC and validates what more people are coming to realize.  The American Media Maggots really are maggots.

Cruz did well, Rubio did well and Fiorina did well.

Trump, though he was of lesser energy, didn’t lose points.

Carson will stay the same.  People either love him or hate him.

Christie did well but he’s on the bubble.  This was make or break for Christie.

Kasich and Huckabee and Paul were unimpressive.  They will and should subsume.  Kasich always pisses me off so I’m biased — but — I couldn’t care less.  And no, I couldn’t care less that blind people have “non-24” either.

Jeb Bush attacking Marco Rubio was a bit of craven theater that resulted in Bush being diminished still.  Bush still doesn’t “get it.”  Thankfully, to his demise.

Cruz, Rubio, Fiorina.

Those are my Top Three.

Advice to the GOP debaters in the future.  Turn against Obama, then turn against his policies, then proffer your own solutions.  Make the linkage.  Connect the dots.  You’ve made a good advancement in terms of not attacking yourselves, particularly in this debate.  Keep calm and carry on.

Continue this trend at the next debate.

Jeb Bush: another uninterested Romney?

Posted on by

Meb Bushney 2016Whilst cruising through the digital slag known as news in America these days, I happened to come across an article that resonated about Jeb Bush.

From Mediaite.com (one of the worst possible names for a news source):

Jeb Goes Off: I Could Be Doing ‘Really Cool Things’ Instead of Being President, You Know

by Josh Feldman

Jeb Bush let his agitation show on the campaign trail today when he complained about gridlock and partisanship in South Carolina.

Bush attended a presidential town hall held by Senator Tim Scott, and they were even joined on stage by none other than South Carolina congressman and Benghazi Select Committee chairman Trey Gowdy.

At one point, when he was lamenting the state of partisan politics, Bush said, “If this election is about how we’re going to fight to get nothing done, then I don’t want any part of it.”

Oooooh, scary, just in time for Halloween: “Jeb goes off.”  I’m quaking in my Keens.

That’s your problem, Jeb.  Trump nailed it, actually.  You’re a miniuscule-energy person.  You’d bring the same mundane enthusiasm to the presidency that you bring to your campaign.  And I’m done with zero-energy, capitulating, bi-partisan, compromising empty suits registered as Republicans.

The major issue?  Compromise and bi-partisanship usually occurs on the Republican side, not on the Demorat side.  Demorats know how to hack and slash; they already have the American Media Maggots in their pockets.  Republicans want to be loved and simply haven’t yet Grokked the fact that they will never be loved as long as the AMM holds sway in America.  And at this point, the AMM aren’t going anywhere.  But Republicans still want to be loved.  That makes no sense whatsoever.  No matter what you do, GOPEE (GOP Establishment Elites), you will never be loved by the AMM unless and until you change your (R) to a (D).  In that manner the AMM is not unlike Obama’s good friend ISIS.  Convert you or kill you.

Romney proved he was ambivalent about running for president.  His son revealed that Mitt wasn’t entirely committed and, further, didn’t want the presidency — after the fact.  I could never forgive Romney for that, for wasting my time and the time of those who supported him.  Further, Romney admitted that his Massachusetts healthcare plan was the precursor to Obamacare — not that Obamacare is working out well; it isn’t.

Jeb is another Romney.  Not a fighter, won’t take umbrage, too interested in being “nice” and not running with scissors or eating paste.

Note to Jeb: If you have other things to do, like cleaning your fishtank or balancing your checkbook, do them.  Don’t just threaten me with going away, make good on it.

Frankly, I couldn’t care less.  i won’t be voting for you anyway.  I’m done with Bushes just as I am done with Clintons.  I don’t like dynasties.

To Donald Trump: shave your head

Posted on by

Trump HairDonald J. Trump, if you are serious about your positions, about your running for president, then I would suggest this to you sir.

Shave your head.

People think that you are so entrenched in your monomanicalism that you can’t see the forest for the trees.

I can’t tell you how many people would take you more seriously if you would eschew your hair fixation — which is clearly shellacked within an inch of its life every day — and simply shave your head.  It truly is that simple.

Yes, Mr Trump, it’s your actual hair.  I agree.  We all agree.  But it’s curved and coiffed and shellacked to within an inch of its remaining life every day.

If you’re “real” and if you don’t care, and if you are sincere in your efforts to completely revamp the United States of America, your hair is a distraction.

To you.  As it certainly is to many others.  It has become its own story.  But you could be in charge of your own story.  If you but take control.

So I throw down this challenge.

Shave your head.

But you won’t.  Because your self-image is more important than your true and honest running for president.

Call me out, Mr Trump.  Make me a dirty rotten liar.

I have less hair than you do.
