Republican debate thread 9/16

You forgot Megyn Kelly.

 

HC or Lugnuts. Of course, HC is Canadian, so that might not work.

On the non-distaff side, Elliotte or Alma. Maybe the artist formerly known as Double Down.

 

Richard Sherman went to Stanford.

 

This, plus the previous quote about a CEO who was hated by both the employees and the stockholders. People who fail and dangle from Golden Parachutes are not successes, just rich.

 

How'd I forget that one!

 

I'll give them both credit for shutting down the autism nonsense. But:

Carson: "But it is true that we are probably giving way too many in too short a period of time, and a lot of pediatricians now recognize that and, I think, are cutting down on the number and the proximity in which those are done.”

No. It's not true. Not even a little bit. And, "a lot of pediatricians" are NOT doing that. Shitty, malpracticing pediatricians are doing that.

Paul: "I'm also a little concerned about how they're bunched up."

He then, at least, had the sense to make his statement about freedom, even if it's starting from a totally false premise.

Carson: “Vaccines are very important, certain ones — the ones that would prevent death or crippling. There are others, a multitude of vaccines that don’t fit in that category, and there should be some discretion in those cases.”

Absolutely, 100 percent false.

 

LOL. Ben Carson didn't go to Yale on a football scholarship.

I don't think he's prepared to be President, but let's not pretend the guy isn't brilliant.

 

But, she could end up on the $10 bill if she can beat out Margaret Thatcher and Mother Theresa.

 

Being prepared to be president isn't a prerequisite for holding the office. Right now, it doesn't look like any of the candidates on either side are prepared.

 

Fuck it, let's go parliamentary style so every wingnut can have their say and we have nothing but gridlock forevermore, amen.

 

As I understand it, he is a pediatric neurosurgeon.

 

There are plenty of candidates who are prepared for the office. Most of them just happen to be terrible campaigners or charismatic black holes, too.
