It was all about Obama and Clinton fucking up, and of course WAR. They never really said anything of substance. Never sold any points. The few fights so far have been pretty good. Other than that, it was a waste of my time. I should have waited for the low lights.

And for some reason, Christie really wants everyone to know he has a law degree. I heard it at least 5 times. WTF

I didn't hear anything about income inequality, healthcare, college tuition, prison reform, etc. You know the things Bernie talks about.
NOTHING!!!!

I can't remember which one, say that if people want an education they have to... and then it got really ambiguous but seemed to be leaning in the direction of "you can't go to college unless you fight in one of our wars" kind of BS but they never really got too clear about how that was supposed to work.

And there was waaaay too much about the San Bernadino event... way too much.

These debates are nothing more than reality TV Trump is a perfect fit. I doubt rich housewifes has as much bickering as these debates. For pure entertainment I doubt hollywood could do it better.

It's like a contest to see who can make the most idiotic thing. I am not sure there is one of them that can keep a thought in their head for more than five minutes.

Carly Fiorina, aka The Red Nun (red Nancy Reagan suit, MASSIVE cross around her neck) just finished.

Jeb just gave a bland, blahblahblah set of remarks.

Now Earnest Marco Rubio is looking into the camera and emoting with that weird cadence he thinks is JFK-ish but actually sounds like Dougie Howzer on speed.

Paul: Both parties spend too much money. I will stop spending. I'm cranky.
Christie: 9/11. Let me keep us safe.
Florina: Stop Hillary. I'll run the country like I ran Hewlett Packard.
Kasich: We gotta win Ohio. I'm from Ohio. Ohio is great.
Bush: Hillary & Obama are awful. I get things done. Stuff gets done with me.
Rubio: Stop Hillary. Increase the military. Unleash small business. Military. Win.
Cruz: Ronald Reagan. Keep America safe. We win. Everyone else loses.
Carson: American is the best. Winning. Freedom. Screw political correctness.
Trump: We're losing on everything. We will win on everything.
