GOP Debate -- Cruz and Rubio
Tonight we watched the third Republican presidential debate. ~~~~~ The FIRST DEBATE featured the four candidates with the lowest average poll ratings over the past several months. ~~~~~ Senator Lindsey Graham, with a great sense of humor, is the candidate most concerned about America's security and military strength and in supporting her soldiers. He promises to protect Social Security and reform immigration policy. ~~~~~ Former Senator Rick Santorum is the Republican candidate whose policies most often favor blue collar Americans - flat tax plan and support for the Ex-Im Bank in terms of how they will help US workers and their families succeed. ~~~~~~ Governor Bobby Jindal is the free market conservative. He favors shrinking government so that individuals, families and businesses can make their own decisions about health care, education, religion and job creation. ~~~~~ Former Governor George Pataki embraces climate change as partly manmade and wants non-carbon energy development to impact climate change. ~~~~~ For me, and in viewer polls, Lindsey Graham (53%) was the strongest candidate in the first debate. ~~~~~ The SECOND DEBATE featured the candidates with the top ratings recently. It was a passionate, lively debate on issues -- despite, as Ted Cruz pointed out, the efforts of the moderators to make personal attacks on the candidates and to set them against one another. Instead of trying to repeat the candidates' words, I strongly urge you to watch and listen to a replay. The words of the GOP candidates clearly show why America must elect a Republican in 2016. ~~~~~ So, dear readers, here is my ranking of all the Republican candidates, and the role I think each would be best at in a 2017 Republican presidency. (1) Ted Cruz - President. (2) Marco Rubio - Vice President. (3) Chris Christie - Attorney General. (4) Carly Fiorina - Treasury Secretary. (5) Lindsey Graham - Defense Secretary. (6) Mike Huckabee - UN Ambassador. (7) Ben Carson - Health and Human Services Secretary. (8) Rand Paul - Senate Majority Leader. (9) Jeb Bush - probably would not be available.. (9) John Kasich - Labor Secretary. (10) Donald Trump - White House Senior Advisor without Portfolio and contract to build the wall. (11 etc. ) Rick Santorum, Bobby Jindal, George Pataki - thank you and safe trip home.

A winning list for a new administration com January 20, 2017
ReplyDeleteI believe that there was signs og real republicans coming back to life in last nights debate and taking back from their not so republican candidates the debate process.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the final six right now are: (in order) Cruz, Rubio, Trump, Carson with just maybe—Fiorina and Christie given a wee bit of luck quickly in the next few weeks.
With John Harwood's name on the moderator list, I knew that we were headed for one of the most biased nights that we were going to see, because if there's anybody openly and willing to act as though he is in the Hillary camp, it is John Harwood. Bias doesn't even cover what happened last night. That was a kill show last night. That show was designed to kill every one of those candidates. That debate last night was designed to take them all out. That debate last night was to grease the skids for Hillary Clinton. That was the sole purpose of that debate last night. The smugness and the arrogance and the condescension with which those moderators went about it was pure hatred for the republicans on that stage.
ReplyDeleteAnd it bugs me and it has me fuming, this automatic assumption that any Democrat, the architects of the current economic disaster.. The Democrat Party, when you talk about Obamacare its all Democrat. We have 94 million Americans not working. We have half the country making less than $30,000 a year, and these people, these moderators, attempted to say that the people seeking the presidency on that stage last night are not qualified? The media needs to be removed from the equation of these and all debates. The media is the soul and attack dog of the democratic Party.
When the first question of the evening from John Harwood's mouth was..."what do you consider your major weakness" it was evident that this wasn't a debate of issues, but rather a witch hunt for issues to be used by Hillary Clinton in the 2016 general election.
