The early bits were a bunch of fun, but the 11 person format is too crowded. The earlier debate fully revealed their candidates views, toxic cloud and all.

Planned Parenthood is one of the most used women's health service organizations in the US. One in five women will visit a PP office. It is the only nationwide organization that can and does provide services for women on Medicaid (traditionally hard to find if you are on Medicaid, near to impossible in some regions). Abortion takes up less than 4% of what it does.

Some facts to spice up the bullshit.

A statistic regarding Bush's education record in Florida

quote:

Actually, the latest NAEP fourth grade reading results, from 2013, show that Florida “students who were eligible for free/reduced-price school lunch, an indicator of low family income, had an average score that was 24 points lower than students who were not eligible for free/reduced-price school lunch” and that “this performance gap was not significantly different from that in 1998 (29 points).”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2015/06/15/heres-what-jeb-bush-really-did-to-public-education-in-florida/

There was a rise in 4th grade test scores (slight), but the poor were left way behind, as you would think in a charter-ized state educational system.

Statistically, there is no better way to track extreme xenophobia in politics than analyzing how they view birthright citizenship, all the way back to 1789 to the Know-Nothings to the German American Bund to David Duke.

Trump's smug loving smile

quote:

“He’s very difficult to photograph,” says Schoeller. “If you ask him to look up a little bit, he says no or he just doesn’t do it. He literally has one angle. If I ask him to smile, he puts on a big grin and then he goes back to his Zoolander ‘blue steel’ look. And the ‘blue steel’ stays for as ever long as it takes to get the photograph.”

One thing that is especially smart about the front leader's debate is having an obvious partisan in the moderator chair: most likely to get substantive answers out of the candidates.

HP gained 2 billion dollars from the stock market when iCarly got fired. She earned 20 million plus, layed off thousands of workers, and left HP about to go under. Still not the worst CEO of the nineties (even if she has been voted as such in some business mags).

Christie is wrong about social security. Social security lack of funding only really hits in 2038, though disability insurance is a huge problem, easily solvable by legislate (raise the pay cap perhaps?):
