    Fuckabee probably goes back to Fox News soon. So, I won't be seeing him anymore.

    I have to admit, Huck made me laugh at his Janet Yellen joke. "My wife's name is Jannet. Therefore when I hear the words Jannet Yellin', I know it's never good news."

    But yes, I'm glad he's gone. Hopefully Cristy is next.

    Rand Paul is the latest to take off his clown suit.

    Rick Santorum is history.

    I really thought more people would stay in until New Hampshire.

    Carly Fiorina must have a high opinion of herself.

    Watched my first repub debate last night.
    My take on it:
    1) Rubio, and Cruz are like the children always interrupting the adults' conversation, and I actually think trump enables that.
    2) Kasich is the only one that makes sense, but he was trying too hard last night.
    3) Christie, and Bush seemed somewhat reasonable.
    4) why is Carson still in the race?

    I think if the race was between Kasich, Bush, Christie, and Trump, Trump would not be the front runner.

    Don't have cable, so last night was the first one I've seen. A fustercluck from the opening, with Carson looking like he didn't understand where he was. Then he spoke and confirmed it. Cruz lied about single payer--'a disaster--doesn't work." Kasich made a couple of decent points, but I wonder if he has tourettes, the way he was jerking around.
    Trump actually had a decent point concerning China sucking money out of the US with cheap products ( sometimes dangerous products-flooring, pet food, drywall) that have been and still are allowed to be the major purchases of American customers, without due reciprocity. He also seems to be leaning towards a single payer system, but COULD NOT come right out and say so. Regardless of his pronouncements, there's NO way that he could understand what ordinary working americans have had to go through every time a republican gets in office. He's been too busy using his meager 1 million startup and the millions his daddy bequethed to him to work on=The Art of the Deal. Bush is---well-- Bush--another silver spoon baby. As far as Christie goes---my doggies he's thick --must weigh 300 lbs! If he doesn't care about himself, what would make people think that he cares about anyone else? Rubio? A child with talking points that renders him incapable of spontaneously changing his rote answers. For the life of me, I can't think of the person I left out.

    Not an exhaustive breakdown at all, but that's a little of what I saw.

    If sanders only had the support of all sensible american citizens, he wouldn't have even made it on to the ballot

    The big shocker last night was John Kasich finishing in second place.

    Carly Fiorina is out. Rumor mill says Chris Christie may follow within 24 hours. He didn't make his scheduled flight to SC this morning.

    We just lost a lot of entertainment value in the debates. Christie was hilarious. He was like a class bully cartoon character.
