Cruz summons the ghost of Laffer. +3 derp hit.

 

[compuwiz1]

Wow. Trump should just piss in Jeb's mouth...

He does that quite well on his own. This country is not having another Bush. Running was a dumb idea and I think he really felt his namesake was going to carry the ball for him. There's no amount of money that his donors can throw at his campaign that is going to make a difference. He just doesn't sell well to the people......and he's a fucking wimp!

Has Art Laffer ever been right on anything?

 

[shady28]

Rubio just nailed Cruz' VAT tax. If you read it, it's fine at first, but it would be a slippery slope of gradual increases that would mostly hit the poor and middle class.

Don't tell Hugo Drax that! :\

 

[LegendKiller]

He is changing his approach to appeal to a broader audience. He is a hell of a lot smarter than people give him credit for.

Not sure what to make of that though.

You know what you make of it? It is diplomatic and Presidential. It is Neural Linguistic Programming, understanding who you are talking to and how to talk to them is one of the best ways to ingratiate and get what you want. He hasn't given up on his core principals or topics, he has streamlined and become a little less bully-ish about them. In fact, he has double or tripled down on many of them.

 

[compuwiz1]

Remember the first debate when Trump told Paul he had no business being in the debate? He should have saved those words for Jeb.

 

[BxgJ]

If Trump wins he doesn't care about his company.

 

[UberNeuman]

Trump: "I'll put my finances into a blind trust - I'll have Ronnie Milsap and Stevie Wonder in charge - totally blind. Totally beautiful."

 

[UberNeuman]

If Trump wins he doesn't care about his company.

That's what bankruptcy is for....

LOL. Awesome.

God, you've got to love US elections just for the entertainment value.

Well, if you score him on a curve...

No.

Christy wants cops to keep on killing...

I figured he would change his delivery as his audience broadened beyond just the Primary, which is what he's doing now. He's not really a hothead.

So the next question is, does he really believe what he's saying? He was a lefty at one time you know.

Like being correct matters to Banana Republicans. Have you forgotten about facts and their liberal bias?

See Bill Kristol.

His kids would run the company. And as president he would have no effect on how the company does. None at all.

Now Rafael is schooling Rubio on immigration but what is interesting is Fox's split screen of the two makes Rubio look about a foot taller than Cruz.

Is that a conspiracy theory on my part?

 

[Subyman]

I thought Cruz was trying to throw the Obama/birther thing at Trump. Fun to see them both talking about it without saying Obama.

\the first thing tonight they didn't blame him for...

This is Birther 2.0. Trump is throwing the birther thing at Cruz saying he doesn't qualify. Trump looked like a moron when he said he wasn't doing it because Cruz was going up in the polls and then a minute later said he was doing it because Cruz was going up in the polls lol.

There's medicinal value there too maybe. In small amounts I think a GOP debate could improve someone's day because I believe in the healing power of laughter. A longer exposure could probably be used as an ipecac syrup replacement.

Nah, probably just Ruby's heels. :biggrin:

I kinda like reading what Hillary says for amusement.

“My husband may have his faults, but he has never lied to me.” -- Hillary Clinton per Kim Eisler's Masters of the Game: Inside the World's Most Powerful Law Firm


"Put this (helicopter) on the ground! I left my sunglasses in the limo. I need those sunglasses. We need to go back!" -- Hillary Clinton from Air Force Lt. Colonel Robert Patterson's Dereliction of Duty.


“Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs.” -- Hillary Clinton

 

[shady28]

Did Jeb really just say he's "done it" referencing leading the country? Sounded like he was implying that he was a reincarnation of some kind.

 

[wirelessenabled]

Rafael Cruz is going to run the country for the benefit of police, firefighters, soldiers and sailors.

What about the other 320 million Americans?

Those 320 million Americans? Fuck 'em - so long as the members of Village People are safe.

AND NOW - MUSIC!!!!! Y.M.C.A!!!

 

[UglyCasanova]

Can't say I care much for any of the candidates running. What's sad is that if Bernie somehow becomes the Democratic nominee that locks up a win for the Republicans regardless of who it is. It's their own damn fault for putting all of their eggs in Hillarys basket. Oh well.
