Biden / Palin was definitely funnier, between Palin being adorable, Biden cracking jokes, and the undeniable sexual tension in the room.

my guess is fox is trying to position fiorina and carson upward by declaring them the winners, will probably go with rubio next, just so the top five field looks way more diverse than the democratic one.

Dirk Pitt posted:I don't think Trump came off as bad as Fox is saying. Focus groups shouldn't be taken too seriously, but they're also a good reminder that most of the people have no loving clue who any of the candidates are or why they should support one over another at this point. Also, a lot of people are just idiots, like the guy who came in as a Trump supporter but was turned off because he thought Trump was too mean and bombastic.

I watched the kiddy debates and I don't see any reason for anyone to think Fiorina won. Fox is just trying to push that as the narrative because it serves their ends.

Walker is literally a clear and present danger to everything your country theoretically stands for, and his agenda and policies need to be stopped at all costs.

Is it possible Fox is trying to sink Trump? I mean really, I won't vote for him, but he wasn't the disaster Luntz and Krauthamer called him.

I just can't see the country getting behind Rubio for some reason. He just has no charisma at all, to me.

Yeah, that debate was an unmitigated disaster for the RNC. Fox is desperately attempting damage control on Trump, but I think it's too late.

Trump was pretty masterful. Hopefully this means that the candidates will take their gloves off and go full negative against him only to find he can fling poo poo on an industrial scale.

There weren't any winners at the Kiddie Debate, only losers. Santorum came off as the one who was the most prepared and seemed actually passionate about winning, so I guess he gets the gold star.

So I'm thinking of making some Trump posters in the vein of my Bernie Sanders posters but with the words "Make America Yooge Again." Anyone think that would turn out interesting/worth having?
