I actually think those lovely questions serve a purpose because they force the candidates to make an off the cuff response that hasn't been researched and vetted by their campaign. That question in particular was jarring because it really gave you an insight into how few of these guys could even think of an American woman. I mean, the only woman on stage refused to even give an answer and said no woman should be put on any money. It's a real glimpse into the madness. Compare that to like the similar "who would you call the enemy you're most proud of?" question from the Dems. Just as inane but most of them were able to ad lib a simple answer like humans. And if I remember right Jim Webb's instinct was to boast about killing a dude, which really hammered home that personal trait. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Apr 17, 2016 |

I get what you're saying, but what goes on paper currency in the US? Presidents and founding fathers. There's not really a good answer with the lack of female presidents and fathers. Good comedy though.

Yeah, historically there have been other things on paper currency, but it's all presidents and founding fathers (and Salmon Chase) now, and for almost 100 years. "Portraits of Presidents of the United States have a more permanent familiarity in the minds of the public than any others."

It's like the Presidential campaign version of those "Do you think it's okay to steal from the company" questions in job interviews. It's a no brainer but it's there to shine a light on the idiot who can't answer correctly.

Just as inane but most of them were able to ad lib a simple answer like humans. And if I remember right Jim Webb's instinct was to boast about killing a dude, which really hammered home that personal trait. You remember correctly. Chafee: "Well, I guess the coal lobby. " O'Malley: "The National Rifle Association." Clinton: "Well, in addition to the NRA, the health insurance companies, the drug companies...um...the Iranians, probably the Republicans." Sanders: "As someone that has probably taken on every special interest that there is in Washington, I would lump Wall Street and the pharmaceutical industry at the top of my list of people who do not like me." Webb: "I'd have to say the enemy soldier that thew the grenade that wounded me. But, he's not around right now to talk to." quote:On 10 July 1969, while participating in a company-sized search and destroy operation deep in hostile territory, First Lieutenant Webb’s platoon discovered a well-camouflaged bunker complex which appeared to be unoccupied. Deploying his men into defensive positions, First Lieutenant Webb was advancing to the first bunker when three enemy soldiers armed with hand grenades jumped out. Reacting instantly, he grabbed the closest man and, brandishing his .45 caliber pistol at the others, apprehended all three of the soldiers. Accompanied by one of his men, he then approached the second bunker and called for the enemy to surrender. When the hostile soldiers failed to answer him and threw a grenade which detonated dangerously close to him, First Lieutenant Webb detonated a claymore mine in the bunker aperture, accounting for two enemy casualties and disclosing the entrance to a tunnel ... Continuing the assault, he approached a third bunker and was preparing to fire into it when the enemy threw another grenade. Observing the grenade land dangerously close to his companion, First Lieutenant Webb simultaneously fired his weapon at the enemy, pushed the Marine away from the grenade, and shielded him from the explosion with his own body.

citybeatnik posted:Centralization of the Federal Reserve I'd assume. Sort of, it started with when the Civil War gave a great excuse to finally crack down and start issuing federal government money instead of the private banking crap. The "modern" design of founding fathers and presidents only dates to shortly before the Federal Reserve existed, and the bills pretty much looked the same from the late 1900s/early 1910s up to the first modern redesigns in about 1996. There's also that a lot of the older overly ornate designs were intended to be impossible to counterfeit, but turned out to not really deter them. So things were switched to more covert methods.

mdemone posted:While that's probably true, it's certainly not the sort of thing you answer that question with. Especially the last bit. Yeah, he didn't actually answer the question. The question was "what political enemy have you created over your years that you're happy to have as an enemy." The rest of them got it. Webb just got weird and internalized it into a creepy personal thing. Which like... Jim Webb fought a war and killed a dude. Props for being a tougher dude than I am and I have no doubt that it left a lasting impact on who you are as a person. I'm not judging. But that really wasn't the question and it was kind of weird that he went that way instead of just saying "yeah, the ____ lobby hates me". Or he even could have given just a generic "anyone who threatens the American way of life" answer that would have got across his point that he's an actual vet and not one of those tough talk draft dodgers.

Trump wants to gently caress his daughter. Racism has a "logic" to it. It's fear of The Other, taken to the extreme. But lacking the instinct to be extremely adverse to incest/inbreeding seems beyond the pale.
