The problem, of course, is that all the flying unicorns might frighten the children.

âWould we have to submit our voting records to you or some committee?â Kelly then asked, adding that it would be impractical.
Cruz: âThereâs no need to submit anything, we have that information already. We could establish a committee or bureau to review the records and they could then make the decision. We could call it the Politburo.â

Well, do we really need female moderators? I mean, theyâll just ask questions their husbands tell them to ask.

Shorter Kelly: a 10% / 16% Flat Tax will not work per the critics.
Shorter Cruz: The critics arenât looking at my website where I lay it all out
Critics: your website? Youâre going to show us something we donât already know on your website?
I thought Ted Cruz was a master debater. As such he shouldnât care who moderates. Why is he so afraid? Maybe he is just a masterbater.

I think all four of them should first submit their voting records to prove they arenât liberals.
Using the long form, of course.

In the USAmerica, journalists style themselves as purely nonpartisan. No self-respecting journalist, closet-Republican or not, publicly will identify as a specific or even implicit supporter of one party or another. Cruzâs proposed rule would limit the moderator field to self-identified cooks. But, admittedly, to Cruz, that might be a feature.
And Iâd he should be elected, does he limit the White House press corps to certifiable wing nuts?

His plan, the details of which I have not yet read, are most likely unworkable.
To cut taxes that sharply, the plan would have to either eliminate deductions that are widely used by the middle class â such as for property taxes and mortgage interest, deductions of children dependents etc., or it would require a sharp reductions in government spending, to offset the huge loss of tax revenue.

I do. And I think anyone saying âhe canât winâ is blowing smoke up their own butts, or as Kelly said it so well âdoing that math to make them feel good about being republicanâ.
He is building organization, particularly in the South. He has no qualms about playing the race cardâŚat all. (See the tweet he just sent out about Bush). And his top three competitors are a Black man, and 2 Hispanics. Thatâs a pretty huge advantage given the GOP base. Toss in that the TP is on a tear right now and are giving a collective FU to any and everything Establishment.
Trump is most definitely a serious candidate.

His tax plan, like pretty much all of the GOP plans, blows huge holes in the deficit, even with dynamic scoring. And dynamic scoring is a fantasy based accounting method anyway.
And of course, the big problem with all of their proposalsâŚis there is not a snowballâs chance in hell of getting any of it through CongressâŚwho actually writes the tax code. I am sure its fun for these guys to pretend they are Kings, but back on planet Earth where they have to deal with lobbyists and Congress, none of them has a solid enough working relationship with Congress to get ANYTHING they want passed.

I am so sick of hearing about the liberal media from these clowns! Over the years I have watched the news go from neutral in its portrayal of facts, to one that is so clearly biased towards the conservatives that actually finding news that is factual and true is nearly impossible. It started most noticeably on 9/11 when the media began not reporting actual confirmed facts, but merely reporting what FOX News reported. And it has gone down hill from there. When Joe Scarborough, a GOP ultra-conservative, claims that there are no conservatives in media, then you know that the world had spun out of control. That Cruz thinks that good journalists are all liberal Democrats and that only conservative GOP journalists should ask questions shows just how out of touch these clowns actually are, and it scares the daylights out of me that any of them could actually be elected President because of the way the conservative media today is spoon-feeding their garbage to the American people as truth. When you no longer have a free, unbiased press, coupled with a power-hungry Congress, SCOTUS, and a possible corporate/theocratic White House, you have the foundation not for democracy but for tyranny of the worst kind for America and the world.

Shorter Ted: âWe donât need liberals in this country. When Iâm elected, Iâll give them a choice: they can leave, or they can face the 2nd Amendment solution.â
What about RINOs or Muslims? That canât be allowed to moderate GOP debates either.
The moderators can only be old, Caucasian, Christian, males with no more than an a high-school education and who only listen to Faux News. Or, in other words, a typical Republican voter
yes cause nothing say a republicon debate like no debate at allâŚdam they seem to be very frightened of those mean ole liberals and their relevant questions relating to how they want to run the countryâŚbad liberals bad

I do the same thing.
If the American isnât expected to confront opposition this is a great idea. But, if that Office comes with a lot of opposition flac, which it does, this doesnât seem like a good way to vet it. Itâs just hard to see this as âtoughâ.
