Edit: In light of the mod note at the top of the thread, I'll just say that I've never posted in this thread before, and I assumed it could be treated more or less like an LR thread during the debate. If that's frowned upon, my apologies | ||

It's over for Bush, just a matter of how long they can keep the paychecks flowing to the consultants. (aka How fast can we burn through this money before people figure out they donated to a dumpster fire that's just burning to pay us out). Probably establishment folks on the phone with Rubio folks right now. | ||

I found it pretty ironic when Fiorina went on that rant about "imagine if politicians were held criminally liable for lying to the public" when she blatantly lied about that fictional PP video in the last debate. | ||

I'd talk about how the single greatest threat to democracy is people in power spreading demonstrably false information but I think it would officially make me a broken record. This guy asking the drug question talks soooo weird. And Carson dodges the question with the grace of a morbidly obese buffalo. | ||

Christie, you're an idiot, it's currently impossible to prosecute for price gouging in pharma. You need a new law and regulation first. | ||
