But Huckabee said that’s why we have an Army–to kill people and break things.

“Trump Debate”. Love it. That really says so much with so few words.

Two words, actually. Which is a feat quite a few candidates at the JV debate found daunting.

Jon Stewart made a joke into serious political commentary and Fox turned serious news into a joke.

Trumps runs as a third-party candidate, though it would be prohibitively expensive to get his name on ballots in 50 states, but he’d have no problem helping HRC by siphoning conservative votes away from the GOOP because he’ll betray anyone. But I think he peaked last night, and will go the way of Bachmann, Cain, etc.

I’m hoping he goes the way of H. Ross Perot.

Perot wasn’t painful to listen to although he was a bit out there. What was painful was his VP choice Admiral Stockdale who introduced himself to us by asking Who am I and why am I here.

The funniest part being that it’s basically being referred to by the entire world as “the trump debate”.

Lulz.

Headline is nicely phrased, TPM. Good work.

Nice channeling of the Donald, dude.

3rd party run:

'tis a consummation devoutly to be wished.

Trump reminds me of the blowhard one finds in any blue collar bar. And that’s why he’s so popular. He’s one who just happened to make it to the national stage.

In Queens, plenty of them as I can tell you since I grew up near where daddy Trump made his mark.

They were Yooooooooge.

So are these viewers registered to vote? And will they vote in the GOP primaries? And who will they vote for?

The GOTP Klown Kar has been the best reality show for a couple of decades now but the voters have – thankfully – kept them out of the Oval Office.

I think the only person that brags about the Donald more than the Donald is is campaign manager. Holy shit reading through his twitter feed is redickless.

And I spent my formative years in blue collar NJ. Also worked in Manhattan.

The Donald is such a flirt. Last night probably convinced himself: the presidency or bust! One way or another.
