His demeanor makes him seem like the only human there.

Yes, I know his elevator doesn't make it to the top floor. I'm simply saying that he's the only one not yelling.

It is good that the loud ones are recognized immediately.

He really kind of creeps me out. Not even sure exactly why...

Seriously too much. `

I am not sad I missed the Clown Car Debate. Besides, the funniest, scariest parts always end up on DU anyway. Less torture to wade through.

Can't exactly put my finger on it, but just not right.
Then there's the deal w/a doctor whose teeth fall out in a speech & he keeps going.
What's that about?

Just a bit creepy to me.

Can you please explain your comment about a doctor's teeth falling out? It made me very curious. Sounds amusing too.

I had no access and can't hear radios well. Thanks southerncrone!

Most comfortable: KASICH.

The blahs: Jeb Crow Shrub, HUCKABEE, WALKER

The less than blahs: RUBIO, CARSON

They can't help themselves for who they are: TRUMP, CRUZ

49. Frank Luntz' after debate focus group
Thu Aug 6, 2015, 11:25 PM

so far is a non-stop anti-Trump orchestration. Clearly Faux has their agenda of taking Trump down. T he crowd says Ben carson was good and so was Fuckabee. Some people raised their hands to say Trump was good but those people weren't spoken to. Fox is such a fucking disgrace for a network, trying to mold public opinion to the beat of their own lock step.

Now Krauthamer says Trump blew it, was in full collapse, and Rubio, Cruz, Carson, and Fuckabee won.

A local columnist (Frank Cerabino, Palm Beach Post) did a column on the upcoming debate and one of his remarks was that Roger Ailes would announce the winner of the debate...just 15 minutes before it started.

and the questions were who thought Trump did badly and who thought Fuckabee did well. It's so obviously orchestrated to affect the minds of the viewers. The entire debate Huckabee got one softball question after the other. Now he's being called the debate winner along with Cruz. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Roger Ailes (and Murdoch) already decided who would win the debate.

She has a commercial written for her based on Rubio's comment that Hillary will win if the election is based on resume.

Rachel's story about how FAUX skipped a poll to puxh Kasich on the main stage seems to have been ignored, so FAUX has clear sailing to go after Trump and get former employee Kasich out there more. They will pick and choose and mold the field to their liking. Rubio and Kasich got a helping hand tonight as Matthews fawned over them as being a great pairing. Jeez...b
