GOP presidential debate #1 has started on C-SPAN.

Runs from 6:30 to 9:30, looks like. Actual debate is supposed to start at 7.
Should be interesting; I am hoping for at least one shouting match. My bad.
I wonder if they will all just bash Democrats. There is not a lot of difference in their individual idiocies.

differently. Deliberately clueless. Hell, the TPP and TTIP et al - that they just gave Obama carte blanche for - will stop us from bringing back manufacturing that gives us decent wages. They KNOW that.

It is like a scary movie as done by The Onion.
