CNN Republican debate 2/25/2016

Watching this now. It's amazing to see the front runner of a major party act as he does. I can't watch without laughing out loud regularly. I have to say I'm looking forward to him and Hillary being on stage. It is going to be an absolute farce and spectacle. He will say things to her nobody else has ever dared to. It will be a treat, the ratings are going to be stratospheric on those debates.

He also just said he's willing to start a trade war with Mexico over the wall if they won't pay for it.

Just checked. Good singer

The debate is interesting. Trump truly has a legitimate shot at taking out Clinton. I think he might actually be more capable as potus than some of his more crazy statements would indicate. If the democrats think hillary is going to steamroll Trump they are delusional. It's going to be a real fight. He is going to jab at her constantly. She really hasn't experienced anything like that before.

She folded within 24 hours when Trump turned her sexism attack against her. If that’s an omen of things to come.......

lostin is referring to a few months back when she called trump sexist and he shot back about her still being with bill clinton, who has had many accusations of mistreating women.

It's fair to say a decent feminist, somebody who really values their own sense of worth, would not have accepted the massive humiliation of staying married to bill after what he did except for ulterior motives. I believe those to be selling out on principles she claims to have so that she could continue to ascend the political ladder hanging off the coattails of the clinton name.

they are both steaming piles of poo imo, however i disagree that a decent feminist or a person who values their own sense of worth has to leave their husband if cheated on. life doesn't work like that. just because you're a public figure and people are aware of the demons in your closet - doesn't mean you have to make the decisions they want you to make. feminism is about ownership of self, and if she decided to stay with bill then that's her business. if she had ulterior motives and wanted to cash in on all the time she'd put into the marriage with bill, that's her business. but imo how hillary dealt with the women that accused bill of whatever all the things were that they accused him of, that is more telling of her character. that, makes her a crappy feminist. but her being a crappy feminist doesn't mean trump isn't sexist. of course he is, he's barely aware of it, but he doesn't care either.

that's because a real card carrying caba gal will plot how to make her cheating husband suffer for decades.....

^^ This. ^^

Depending on who the Republican nominee is:

Trump will rip Hillary to shreds.

Cruz will at least hold his own against Hillary.

Hillary will rip Rubio to shreds.

There is only one republican who can beat Hillary, The Donald. And the reason why is because he's not a traditional republican. We've been talking on here for years now how the republicans need to change in order to win the nationwide election, well Trump is that change. It may not be the change people were looking for, but it appears to be working.

[TBoneTX 45,273]

Probably so (although people underestimate Cruz).

Trump is a populist rather than a conservative.

It disturbs me somewhat from a believability standpoint that, as recently as 2007-2008, he expressed largely opposite views to those that he claims to hold now.

He has also donated funds chiefly to Democrats in the past.

Of course, never having held elective office, he has no track record to look at.

So who is he, really? I'm not sure.

I think Trump's mixed views represent the reality in politics today, there is no straight line, cut & dry answer to everything. Somethings need to be handled with a conservative hand and others with more of a liberal touch. And these issues often change with time.

Don't get me wrong, I am in no way endorsing Trump, but I do think he is what the republican party needs to pull them out of their slump.

[TBoneTX 45,273]

Probably very true.

Dead on.. I think the extremes on both side are going to be in full on panic mode if it comes to Trump vs Sanders.. There is already pages going for videos of leftists full on crying about Trump and the Right wing will going into full melt down with Sanders.

That would have two atheists squaring off, even if they are too afraid to admit it publicly...
