I take a drink every time a candidate actually answers the question asked him. Haven't had a drink yet. Looks like a good time to quit.

Carson and Trump will be the losers tonight - that's the plan. Don't rule out Trump telling Harwood that at least his rug is made of his hair

you are right. it will look like hyenas fighting over a carcass.

and for the record I hate them both, but I when I hate even more is the establishment getting together in deciding that they're just not worthy of the nomination because they're not willing to play ball. I almost hope one of them wins just because the establishment won't have any control over them.

That would make my night. Jeb Bush holding Donald Trump down while Chris Christie kicks him. Ben Carson can keep security away from the beating by threatening them with a knife or a hammer.

I don't know why. I watch every presidential debate, even when the stage is full of loathsome creatures like the current republican field.

I really should find something better to do. Like catch up on my sleep, change the litter box or something. But I will watch it. I go back and forth from hilarity to despair over this bunch. They make America look crazy and awful. I know we are better than that. At least most of us are better than that.

I am debating between soup or a sandwich.

I think I might have a little of both, though.

I'll let you know how it turned out.

a debate among just republicans. I pretty much don't like any of their candidates and their leading candidates I find to be down right offensive with some of the stuff they say. Watching that would just put me in a bad mood and would be a waste of time.

It's hard to imagine these people running for any office, and sure enough most of the current leaders haven't ever run or held office. The GOP has been reduced to a mess of self absorbed ditto heads with no ideas at all. The most disturbing thing is these people hold congress already. Congress is a mess, I can only imagine what would happen if they held both the white house and congress. Good God, it isn't even funny.

Donald Trumps hair attacks him on how many times he has changed parties and says that it will remain a Democrat.

Ben Carson threatens to knife a moderator then throws a rock at Jeb Bush.

Jeb Bush says he has a whole lot of other cool things he could be doing and surfs the web for Super Girl pictures on his cell phone.

Marco Rubio, endorses Poland Springs water.

Ted Cruz, promises to cut grandmas off of life support just like Jesus would do.

Carly Fiorna, the best way to save the middle class is to support companies that lay them off and fire them look what that did for HP.

Mike Huckabee, I will put prayers back in school so we can pray the gay away

Rand Paul: I will privatize your roads and the police force so no one who can afford to drive on the roads or police protection will ever have to worry about the police dividing their attention from their emergency to take care of the poors.

John Kaisich: I am from Ohio the hardest working state in America and never mind no one is listening to me.

Chris Christie: If you think I am the best candidate vote for me and I have a closed bridge to sell you.
