You have two hours to ask fiscal questions to 10 people who are trying to be president, and you spend a non-zero amount of time on Gimpy Sr.'s family league?

I'll vote for any candidate who bans advertising for fantasy football websites. There other policies could be "balance the budget by selling Skwirl into slavery," and I'd still support them.

We have a mint tower with a bunch of pots threaded on a long iron dowel and nested on top of each other, with a different type of mint in each. Good for mojitos and so forth in the summer.

You can find a number of examples online. I've found it helps to put a bigger pot as the base, for stability, and to put rocks on the outside lip of each pot to prevent the dirt washing away as the mint gets watered.

Fantasy football is essentially legalized gambling now, although instead of straight luck it's closer to day trading. If we're not gonna regulate that, let's give up our state gaming commissions and put casinos on the honor system. That was a very legit policy question, for Christie especially whose state (used to) thrive on gambling of the casino and stock market varieties.

This is where they should have set up a conflict between Christie and Trump over the Atlantic City issue and let them duke it out, instead of making it about responding to the moderators.

I just ran into a couple that was yelling about Bernie Sanders and how we will understand when we're older (I'm 25) and they were being almost outright violent. This was in response to one person saying that a specific thing Trump did wasn't absolutely terrible. I think we've reached the tipping point boys

The issue of fantasy football relating to gambling is completely a legitimate question, but Jeb! drove it completely off the rails by sperging out about it. Fantasy football bets should be controlled as gambling, but nobody wants to hear Jeb! brag about his Pokemon deck of footballers and how well they perform.

I'm as pro-gambling as anyone else here, and daily fantasy is absolutely gambling. They should legalize and regulate this, sportsbooks, and online poker and just move on.

Thought you guys might like a trip down memory lane. This graph isn't perfect because for whatever reason it omits Fred Thompson, who was still in second nationally at the beginning of November 2007 (although falling like a rock). You can easily find the line for Q4 2007 and then go about a third of the way past it before the next line to figure out where November 1st is. Giuliani's line is ~30, McCain's line is ~13, Romney's is ~10, Huck's is slightly over 5. If Thompson were on there he'd be in the upper teens.

If Trump holds steady for another two weeks, he'll be beyond the Giuliani drop. Rudy was still ahead until just around Christmas, though.

Christie has dealt with this in New Jersey since online poker has been legal (in a very tight framework for only NJ residents) since 2013 when he signed it after a conditional veto. PokerStars has been trying to get into the NJ market but there has been pushback by Sheldon Adelson and Christie. It perplexes me that poker has much stricter regulations than that

 Pictured here: Cronus is about to castrate Uranus. From the blood that spilled out and fell upon the earth, Trump, Carson and Cruz were produced. The testicles produced a white foam from which the smiling likeness of Ronald Reagan emerged.
