I think Pataki is the kind of guy that could actually do something for the Republican party.

Of course, he'll be completely ignored as the right-wing crazy show + Trump's reality show keep on trucking.

That was what I was thinking. I don't actually know what kind of state Louisiana is in right now, but he boasts "People talk about gutting spending, but we actually did it in my state."

My first thought was "ok, that's fine, how has it worked out?"

I had the same thoughts during the previous debate. Governors talking about cutting taxes or defunding PP and the constant thought is "and how did that work out for people?"
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

It's embarrassing to be in this tiny pre-event sideshow. How pathetic.
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

Louisiana is

The state with the 2nd highest amount of people below the poverty line
Receives more federal dollars per person than almost any other state
They're in the bottom 10 in graduation rates
Top 5 in teen pregnancy rates
They allow teachers to bring in creationist literature to counter scientific discourse on evolution in science class

I could go on, but you get the picture.

To be honest, I enjoyed being able to hear and focus on just 4 people. Although it did feel like, at times, the host cut them a bit short (it seemed Pataki was cut off more, but I'm not sure if it's just cuz he ran long or if they actually cut him short - I'm inclined to doubt the latter and attribute it to my confirmation bias instead)

Yea that was awkward. For a second, I thought that she was frozen by stage fright.

WHY WHY WHY do we have to start with Trump questions. For heaven's sake.

To quote the man's show:

Money money money moooooney

The day a Republican calls out the "I'm a businessman herp derp" spiel is the day I have respect for one of them

Edit: I don't even understand how anyone could like Trump after what he just said to Rand, jesus christ

Well, Trump is unapologetically being Trump. I think he could dial it down a bit, but what we see is what he is.

It's CNN, expect them to get into talk about Clinton's email scandal throughout the Democratic debates.

Yep. The mistake that everyone makes is fighting Trump on his terms. They will never beat him in the mud.
