The Faux actors and actresses will say whatever the GOP big money backers desire, hence the Trump hit job at debate #1.

Roger Ailes is told what the network should say, then he has a daily meeting advising the supporting cast of same.

Every day is the same, the table is set by Faux and Frauds in the morning, continues until Shep Smith actually reports facts, then back to the Ailes/GOP script until the next day.

I have come to the conclusion that Faux is a stumbling block to a republican candidate getting elected president.

Voters know they are a joke.

Since the Fox fear factory is fair and balanced when do they intend to hold a Democratic Party debate, or an non-party based debate for all comers?

Given the talk time per candidate, can anyone argue that poor moderation is allowing the media to pick candidates for us?

Republican Debate #1
Trump: 11:14
Bush: 8:48
Kasich: 6:52
Rubio: 6:49
Carson: 6:46
Cruz: 6:46
Huckabee: 6:42
Christie: 6:24
Walker: 5:45
Paul: 5:28

Republican Debate #2
Trump: 18:47
Bush: 15:48
Fiorina: 13:30
Carson: 12:56
Christie: 12:36
Rubio: 11:21
Cruz: 10:45
Paul: 10:28
Kasich: 9:44
Huckabee: 9:20
Walker: 8:29

Democrat Debate #1
Clinton: 30 min 25 sec
Sanders: 27 min 41 sec
O'Malley: 17 min 08 sec
Webb: 15 min 20 sec
Chafee: 9 min 05 sec

If the sound-proof booth idea doesn't get implemented, we try a soccer-style "injury time" rule instead:

When the normal debate is over, there is a short break, during which the total talk time each candidate has had so far is tallied. Then, each candidate who has had less time than the max, gets the difference in time to say whatever he/she wants, and make it even.

e.g.,
For last night, Sanders would get another 2:44, O'Malley would get another 13:17, etc... Although I'd rather bash my skull than listen to O'Malley (Mr. Rogers) for another 13 minutes, I think that would not only enforce more fairness in the moderation, but encourage the candidates to be a lot more strategically prudent with their interruptions.

Lincoln Chafee and Henry McGee from the Benny Hill show:




O'Malley and Rogers:

The election is still too far off to bother with these debates.

Most of you people are pretty much retarded.

What would you actually "lie" about when critiquing a debate?

It will virtually all be opinion and if you see opinions that differ from yours as being "lies" then go back and read my first statement in this post.

The fact that no one really went after Hillary for her private email or really anything else tells me they understand that they don't have a chance in hell of winning and just want more recognition, which they received.

If it were me, I would probably want to get the hard questions out of the way before getting to the main event but I didn't see Hillary wanting to address much of what she will be hammered on. She also stumbled over her answers on some questions that I thought she would have had prepared statements locked and loaded. I also thought it was funny how she stared down her opponents, with lazer focus, while all of them were talking. It was like someone told her that when they are talking that she is supposed to stare at them, like she is trying to stare through them, with an extremely pained smile on her face.

I like that the guy from Curb Your Enthusiasm is running for President. That's pretty awesome. I actually don't mind Bernie but I doubt I would vote for him. I also thought it was interesting when the guy all the way to the right, with the really long neck and small head, was cut off by Anderson Cooper when he tried to bring up the fact that Obama has armed Syria, essentially arming ISIS in the process, and that we recently bombed hospitals and weddings. I think Webb and the former governor of Maryland came out on top last night.

Hillary Clinton debate tactics 101: When you find yourself trying to answer a troublesome question and you don't really have a good answer, respond by talking about your vagina:


COOPER: That's right. Secretary Clinton, Governor O'Malley says the presidency is not a crown to be passed back and forth between two royal families. This year has been the year of the outsider in politics, just ask Bernie Sanders. Why should Democrats embrace an insider like yourself?

CLINTON: Well, I can't think of anything more of an outsider than electing the first woman president, but I'm not just running because I would be the first woman president.


COOPER: Secretary Clinton, how would you not be a third term of President Obama?

CLINTON: Well, I think that's pretty obvious. I think being the first woman president would be quite a change from the presidents we've had up until this point, including President Obama.


I'm surprised many of you are so quiet today. The Paul Krugmans, bloggers, and columnists must be taking longer than usual telling you what to think. I sure am glad that she felt the need to clarify for everyone that President Obama does NOT have a vagina. She could have even taken it one step further and added that she isn't half black either
