Can you imagine if our choices were progressive or even more progressive? But I think some remnants of the GOP/Tea Party will persist locally forever. And they can do a lot of harm locally.

Oh, they're a drama all right, in the same way the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills or Dance Moms is a drama. People tune in to it to watch the slow motion train wreck happening in front of them and stare in slack-jawed wonder at the idea that anyone thinks that any of these losers is qualified to be POTUS. Maybe also too for the horror movie shivers at the idea of Trump or Cruz or Carson having the Big Red Button within reaching distance.

With Evan doing the color commentary.

Sounds like they're trying to rig the debates. Later they'll try to rig the election, like they always do. This time nobody is gonna believe it if they win, because these are the worst Republican candidates ever, which is saying something.

A great idea was mentioned in this article. The debate is about the voters not the candidates; why not let voters submit the questions. They can choose from the most asked, most popular voter questions.

that's because their idea of "enlightenment" is still stuck in the pre-electric ages where the only source of illumination was fire . . . so their idea of enlightenment is to burn everything down!

cornering the asshole supply? . . . that's like trying to corner the sunshine supply . . . they're both renewable resources.

Ben Carson is now TIED with Hillary Clinton in national polls. Half of the country thinks a moron with no experience is qualified to be POTUS. This is the same half who thought a senator wasn't qualified 7 years ago, because he didn't have enough experience.

I like your confidence, but Ben Carson is neck and neck with Hillary in national polls. Why, God, WHY? Why do you hate America so much that you would potentially inflict us with this A idiot who shills for fake cancer pills?

How do I turn AdBlocker ON? I get redirected six million times, and jerked to the top of the page constantly. I'd love to make this site less annoying to use.

So sorry, no. As Grayson said (and everyone ignores, fuck me if I know why) polls are of likely primary voters, not general population or even likely voters.

I watch the GOP debates because I know Trump will bring the lulz, but I know plenty of morons who watch the debates unironically. Afterwards they scream about how the liberal media is just terrible to these patriotic Americans. Keep in mind that 47% of this country is so dumb they think Fox "News" is an actual news channel, and that Ben Carson would make an acceptable president. I wouldn't mind so much if these idiots didn't all show up to vote to screw all of us out of Social Security so that some hedge fund manager can get that 6th house and 2nd mistress. I wish I could figure out a way for them not to screw me with their idiot votes. I guess I'll just have to work harder at being a billionaire.

Ben Carson is now ahead of Trump in national polls, and tied with Clinton. God help us all.

I really think he's doing this whole thing for shits and giggles. He doesn't need any more money or fame, so he must just be doing it for fun. I can't imagine he's dumb enough to think he'd actually make a good president.
