Discussion: Carson Camp To Rally Candidates To Confront RNC Over Debate Formats

Now, I just need to go bleach my brain after that comment. Priebus and meat – two words that should not be in a sentence together.

Yes! By all means get more pissy about debate formats…

Hold the next one in a mud/poo-filled trench.
Fling Poo-------meter audience response…

whoever has the noisiest crowd reaction, wins.

Exactly! I mean, all that cash they raise goes to buying … well … politicians and Supreme Court justices. Honest advertisements are an afterthought.

Despite all the fury and arrows, last night’s debate was entirely content-free. The challenge is to whittle down the field to just a very few and then explore issues with sufficient response and rebuttals to avoid deflection and outright deception. Anybody have any ideas how to accomplish that, since herding feral cats is not a productive option?

Perpetual whining is the Rethuglican way! They should just schedule all their debates with Faux Noise that way we all know they’ll be questioned by friendly like minded ideologues.

The assembled Oval Office aspirants would like to debate whether the conch should be round, square or rectangular.

Perfect rebuttal to Carly. Has there ever been such an unlikable candidate? Totally devoid of humor or humanity. The archetype of everybody’s Worst Boss Ever.

I’m wondering–just how is a 10 person debate handled “properly” if it’s only 2 hours long?

It’s beginning to look like republicans would rather NOT have any debates. It’s not much affecting poll numbers, is it? The less people see of these guys on teevee, the better it is for the candidates.

They could each submit to an extended serious prime time interview one-on-one with respected journalists – Charley Rose? PBS? They could but they won’t because of losing spin control.

No more GOP debates! None at all. Please.

Ben Carson’s campaign manager, Barry Bennett, told the Washington Examiner
"There’s not enough time to talk about your plans, there’s no presentation.
It’s just a slugfest. All we do is change moderators. And the trendline is horrific.

Well, there seems one guy in Carson’s entourage who sounds like he knows what he’s talking about.
He should have a talk with Dr Ben about how to make a coherent point.

No, very precise and ordered gibberish.

I actually hope that he doesn’t.

Is writing a check to Jeb!"s campaign something that accountants somehow parlay into a financial advantage for the giver? Just wondering, because on the face of it setting fire to the money would appear nearly as a productive use of the funds as giving them to Jeb! What motivates his backers to continue shoveling huge sums of cash down the gaping maw of his vanity disaster?

I learned nothing about Doc Carson’s youthful but highly interesting and no doubt blood gushing hammer attacks…

If someone comes after me with a hammer I’d prefer it was a Maxwell Silver.

Carly Fiorina ranks pretty low on the list when it comes to being a defensible human being. Seriously, I believe her heart may be nothing more than a rotten apple.
