Agreed.  That's an awful toupee.

The pubs are literally throwing everything at the wall to see what sticks.  Desperation is such an ugly color.

How do you figure?  People can decide to run for President. That has nothing to do with throwing everything at the wall.  Btw...what color is Hillary wearing?

I've really, REALLY stopped drinking over the last year.  I'm afraid that game would kill me!

Carly looked the best in the JV debate

I think Christie will be the first to go after someone.

Problem is they will be hitting trump and dealt should be hitting bush or walker. I doubt trump has the staying power unless he is hiding loads of substance.

Bush looked shaky at the NH forums and he has not found his groove . Better to hit him now than when he is on his game .

As a Lifelong Military Man I was most impressed with Lindsey Graham.

I really like his personal story. It's amazing how he has overcame all those hurdles.

As a policy matter.... He scares me with some things.

Looks like the Dems are trying to help Hillary all they can. Their first debate is not scheduled until mid-October.

Yeah O'Mally and Sanders are not happy about that .... It's too bad because that's where Hillary suffers. O'Mally needs some traction and he would be interesting in a debate.

The Dems want Hillary to go as long as she can without having to answer any questions from anybody.

I love how all debates (D+R) are usually a bunch of non-answers.

I think they might be helping Biden and Warren with that, because Hillary looks to be on her way out and it's just a matter of time before they come in.

Fox's establishment 'Pubs are really trying to bury Trump

[BmorePat87]

I liked that Scott Walker abortion exchange.

Megyn Kelly asks him if his opposition to abortion in the case where it will save the mother's right is too out of the mainstream since 83% of Americans support it.

Walker responds by saying that Hillary's support for Planned Parenthood is radical.

lol

Best quote so far when asked about calling women "fat pigs," Trump said "Only Rosie O'Donnell." Got the biggest laugh so far.
