People thought it was a landslide for Fiorina? I only caught about the last half of the debate. I must have missed her good parts, and the whole “Lady Liberty and Lady Justice” glurge at the end made me want to spew.
He stood out by admitting that he smoked weed when he was in high school.
I didn’t get that, myself and actually felt sorry for her. Here she was with a close up of her face on everybody’s television and the focus is on how unattractive she is. I thought she looked like she wanted to crawl into a hole.
What was Trump’s problem with Rand Paul’s looks?
Probably that stupid perm he has roosting on his noggin.
Hey, Lindsey Graham worked for hours over that!
And the impenetrable border each one is going to build between AMERICA and [sub]mexico[/sub]
I liked the mini debate that started with the first four. Lindsey Graham actually seems like a nice guy.
I’ll confess to not getting the knock on Hickenlooper. No, I wouldn’t necessarily vote for him, but at the very least as the Governor of a purple state he’ll be considered for VP.
Ooh, its the same one Nixon did his V-sign perp walk into! Now that makes it worth seeing.
Turns out I was almost dead-on correct last night on where I placed the performances of the candidates in the debate.

I called Fiorina the winner and, no surprise to anyone, Independent Journal’s survey came to the same conclusion. I can’t pat myself on the back too much for that one as a deaf and blind person could have called it for Fiorina.
I matched their results when it came to the three losers as well, including my calling Walker the biggest loser.
Their results show Fiorina, Trump, and Carson as the top 3 in the debate, whereas I said Fiorina, Kasich, and Carson, so I was a little off there.
Secretariat won American Horse of the Year honors as a two year old (a rare event). At the '73 Kentucky Derby, he was a 3-2 co-favorite with Angle Light. None of which sounds like an underdog. Were you thinking of Seabiscuit perhaps?
So the Rs have $9 metric – just enough for a snack at Tim Hortons.
Is this a Canadian joke? (I know the Canadian dollar coin, with a picture of a loon on it, is called a “loony”.)
Graham’s foreign policy is nuts and he’s pathologically dishonest on any number of issues, but after watching him choke up talking about Joe Biden, I can’t help thinking of him as a fundamentally nice person.
I’m 54 and never smoked weed, ever. And that makes ME stand out, because almost everybody else my age did!
Not a serious underdog. NOBODY was really surprised that Secretariat won the 1973 Kentucky Derby, since he was regarded as a very good, very promising colt. But he wasn’t the favorite going into that race- a horse named Sham was.
I think Hickenlooper would be an analogy to Walker. Not a knock on him, just a not-very-widely-known Gov of a purple state that can’t seem to poll over 7% or so.
It’s more a comment of "imagine how concerned you would be, as a Democrat, if some of our more serious and competent candidates (Nixon, Hickenlooper, Sanders) were getting trounced by an entertainer and a celebrity doctor.
yes
Yes, you’re probably right. Seabiscuit was the ugly duckling underdog.
