What do y'all think of Trump?

Well after watching the first debate my selection process has changed slightly.

Donald is still dead in the water. He's a side show distraction and the only reason he is even there is the media are pushing him on everyone.

My first pick still remains Mike Huckabee, my second selection has changed to Cruz, leaving my third choice to now be Ben Carson. He has his faults, but Rand Paul lost my support last night and looked more like his dad fumbling around and getting frustrated. The only way a Paul will ever be president is if they can clear up their message, not get flustered, and look more presidential. Oh, and do something about that terrible haircut. He should have not fell into the trap of back and forth with Christie and Trump because he lost both of those.

Carli Fiorina may have potential but she is an unknown. I will wait to see how far she goes and how much dirt the media drags up on her.

I fell asleep last night and missed the whole thing

If we could throw some fubu on Carson and play some jeezy in the background of his campaign videos he would win easily

I think (and I shouldn't really be listened to, because I'm wrong like, always) the more they debate, the more folks will side with Cruz. For me, it's Cruz, Rubio, Huckabee, Carson, and Paul, in that order, but really it's anybody but Christie or Bush.

Trump is a plant by the Clintons - I am convinced. Slick Willy only won election and re-election because of Perot taking votes from the GOP. I swear I think that the Clintons have placed him in this spot so that he can amass enough support to run third party and usher Hillary into the WH.


As to the debates, I am a huge fan of Ben Carson. If he does not win the nomination (he stands no chance), I certainly hope if the GOP somehow wins they will place him as Surgeon General or something akin thereto. He is great.

I have not been a Rubio fan, but I thought he looked good last night. I have not been a Huckabee fan, but I thought he looked good last night too.

I have been a Paul fan and he looked bad last night.

I also thought that Fiorina looked good yesterday afternoon.

I think a Rubio/Fiorina or Rubio/Kasich ticket would be formidable. With Rubio, you hopefully get latino vote and maybe Florida. Fiorina offsets the female factor and may draw some soccer moms that have been voting in mass for Obama the last two election cycles. Kasich could help carry Ohio if he were on the ticket, which is huge.

After watching I am convinced that debate was simply to weed trump out. Before it started they attacked his stance on running as independant and set the stage for how the debate was going to go. We shall see.

One person I'm not seeing anyone talk about is Bobby Jindal. I don't know a whole lot about him, but that man is a genius and seems to have a fairly good track record with what he has done in Louisiana. Why isn't anyone pushing him to the top?

[Wildfowler]

We are fudge packed if Trump runs as an independent.


Haha, slipped one by the censor.

Trump is playing a lot of people for fools. I don't trust the guy 3 feet and he's not a conservative. Wise up and do it quickly.
