Didn't Bernie Want To Audit The Fed?.....

One of the Repugs tonight suggested they do that. I thought Bernie was pushing this. What's the story?

How Long Ago Was Jeb The Governor Of Florida?......

He keeps bringing up Florida - like he is still the Governor.

So What Will Be Jeb's Clever Answer Tonight For His "I've Got Better Things To Do" Rant?.....

Everyone knows that this will be brought up and I'm sure he's rehearsed his answer countless times and has it memorized. What do you think it will be?

SIDE COMMENT:
If the debate moderators where smart tonight - all the questions that they should be asking should be out of left field and not those that the candidates and their campaign minders expect to be asked. They should try to catch the candidates off guard and ask only questions that aren't anticipated and rehearsed. It would be fun to see the candidates think on their feet rather than rattle off some pat answer supplied to them from their campaign minders.

Jeb And Rubio - Why Are They Even Running For President?......

Jeb throws a tantrum and says

"I’ve got a lot of really cool things I cold do other than sit around, being miserable, listening to people demonize me and feeling compelled to demonize them. That is a joke. Elect Trump if you want that.”

And Rubio says he 'hates the Senate'. And he's running for President. He hasn't been a Senator very long and he 'hates it'. How does he know that he isn't going to hate the presidency too.

What kind of people are running for president and why did they even get into the race?

What's In It For Trump?.....

I'm kinda pondering that today after I've heard some snippets of the speech he's giving this afternoon.

He's wealthy - so I don't really think that money is motivating him. He knows he could do better at increasing his wealth by not being President.

He doesn't seem like he is doing this because he's a political animal and wants to be a career politician.

I know he has a huge ego - but he's been tooting his own horn most of his life and I don't think he needs to be President to continue to toot it.

So why is he in this thing? Could it be he really believes what he is saying and he is in it for altruistic reasons?

Just curious - what are your thoughts?

The Repugs Are Just Short Of Bringing In Dick Cheney To Waterboard Hillary......

This has run on and on and it is on purpose. They are hoping that Hillary breaks down in these late hours or says something that they can use against her in some way.

I Keep Hearing The Repugs Say - It Is The Only Way We Will Get To The Truth.....

what is the truth that they think that they need to get to? What is there version of the truth as they keep saying?

So Friday What Sound Bites Of Hillary Will The MSM Be Playing?....

Those that her campaign staff came up with to make her look 'Presidential' or those that the 'Ghazi' committee came up with to make her look weak and guilty of some wrong doing.

If Biden Decides To Run - He's Not Getting Off To A Good Start.....

I hear he had to say that he actually was for the Bin Laden raid - when in the past he said he wasn't. I did hear his explanation - but the timing is such that he is saying this for political purposes now and not the altruistic way he was spinning it. That's just my opinion.

Will Biden Become SNL's Next Generalissimo Francisco Franco?....

The general election of 2016 will be over and they will be using the catchphrase "And Biden is still deciding whether he should throw his hat in the ring."

Come on Joe - make up your mind.

Just a reminder SNL use to use the catchphrase "And Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead".
