I want everyone to imagine, if you will, how Donald Trump would deal with Putin.

Putin is going to do what Putin wants. It doesn't matter who is president.

In all fairness Trump would do at least as good as Bush "I looked into the man's eyes" and Obama "Let's go to Staples and buy the easy button and write 'reset' on it"

Don't know what you kids call them nowadays, but everyone called them xanax bars or xanny bars in the Philly area circa 98-03.

As a native Ohioan, it kind of scared me to see Kasich be the most human, relatable, sane person on that stage last night. I still disagree with the majority of his positions, and maybe it was just by contrast, but I just couldn't bring myself to dislike the guy.

Of course, his Medicaid expansion and gay wedding attendance mean he will never, ever get the nomination.

I really hope Kasich gets a bump in the polls after last night. For all the bullshit pandering of "Jesus Christ's blood saved me now kill the poors and waterboard our enemies" up there, Kasich was the only one who dared espouse a Christian policy of taking care of the least well-off. Trump did too I suppose, but his motivations are...different.

Man nothing is more cringe worthy to me than those fake rear end questions about god. It's reason number 1 I could never be in debate like that. Megans last question would have me rolling my eyes so hard they'd fall out onto the floor.

It's like Ted Cruz turned into goddamned Joel Osteen for 30 seconds, and I don't see how anyone on this planet could feel a shred of sincerity in those answers.

Hearing god talk to you is a leading indicator of needing counseling, and most of America eats that poo poo up.

Putin does what Putin wants, but generally our presidents during his reign have at least tried to stay diplomatic. Trump doesn't seem to actually know what the word "diplomacy" means and thinks that it's okay to antagonize and insult people to their face as long as you think you're right.

Yeah, Kasich was the winner from my viewpoint, with Rubio a close second, but i m a human being so I can't predict what Republican primary voters will prefer.

On the bright side, since the Democratic debate will basically only feature Clinton, Bernie, O'Malley, maybe Biden if he runs, Chaffee and Webb, candidates will get plenty of face time.

Better than answering a question with "You know why the current president isn't good at what you asked about?" or opening with "Actually let's talk about the last question you asked instead."

He's also never going to do this, because on the off chance the American people choose a wet fart to waft over the Oval Office, he will be immediately inundated with State and Defense Department personnel telling him what a stupid, stupid idea that is, and he'll be forced to back down, much like every President before him.
