Republican debates
- Thread starter sparkuri
- Start date
Rubio won that. It likely won't matter though. Cruz and Paul are far too long shots. Even Rubio has a HUGE battle to win before becoming a legitimate contender. Bush and Fiorina catered to the war-industrial complex crowd. Fiorina at least pushed on an accountable federal budget (pipe dreams). Carson catered to the job entry field which isn't the issue. It's the working class trying to make ends meet. Trump didn't do much, but also didn't do much harm to himself.
I find it interesting that the Democrats seem to make it a point to not attack each other in their debates and focus on talking about the issues whereas it seems like the Republicans seem to make it a point to attack each other and the Democrats in their debates which takes a lot of time away from talking about the issues.
Trump got embarrassed by Paul, I have to disagree about hurting himself.
I don't think Trump OR Hillary are going to be the nominees.
Remember both parties bolster one or a few, before presenting their knight in crappy armor.
Paul is the only one that can beat Bernie, who I think is the dem. fanbase favorite guy.
Which means the repubs. will pick Rubio, as he is a commanding candidate that will p/u "minority" votes.
The minorities aren't voting for a Republican anytime soon. Non of the Repulicans are polarizing enough to win right now. Untill the full effects of obamacare or Bernies wealth redistribution causes even more decent jobs to leave people will continue to vote for democrat.

Other than Donald there is no wow factor for the masses. I think Rubio is alright but his stance on immigration, even though I believe it to be right, doesn't seem to be a real popular view right now. Presidential races now days are about the same as high school elections unfortunately.

I agree that elections are like High School elections, and they've been like that for some time.
Donald Trump's "wow factor" is why he'll never beat a democrat. It doesn't even matter who's on the other side if Trump is the repub nominee.
I agree he is a nutjob but how many threads do you see discussing the other sides politics? He Is a polarizing figure right now and people tend to think he represents mainstream conservative views.

where's ron paul when we need him?
In the recent UK general election, it was the first time that a lot of people voted tactically. Both the Conservatives and Labour are a bunch of arseholes. I voted Conservative because although I don't agree with their policies, Labour are too dangerous to let into power. They focus more on undermining and sabotaging the opposition and their ill thought out economic policies, that basically amount to vast overspending, would cripple our economy and put us back into a recession.

You just described how i feel about American politics. Anymore its just a vote for the lesser of two evils instead of a candidate that you really support.
They all suck.
Trump is a xenophobic douche bag.
Hillary is close to being indicted.
Rubio is a crazy conservative Christian.
Ben Carson still denies climate change and doesn't have a clue on foreign policy.
Cruz is Trump lite.
Bernie has the right idea but his ideas aren't realistic.

Uhh, close!
Cruz is NOTHING like Trump AT ALL
You need to STANDWITHRAND friendo!
NO MORE ESTABLISHMENT!!!
Cruz is SLICK, because Americans are brainwashed into voting for the homecoming king.
I feel he believes he must be, sadly.
Paul is always passive, just like his dad. But in any country in the world NOT run by trillion dollar corporations, the people would, by a landslide, vote for Rand on substance.
His biggest misstep is saying "I think", before every engagement.
He NEEDS to take the stand "It IS...this way or that"
Everybody else wants to put bandaids on the problems we(U.S/Britain) create, leading into never ending wars.
Rand wants to cure the problem, by treating others the way they want to be treated, the golden rule adults teach children since birth.
