Coulter: Jeb looks more like Caitlyn Jenner every day.
2015-08-08
[Breitbart] It's still all the Donald. He was the big man on stage.

They challenged him in that first question about supporting the eventual nominee -- whomever it may be -- and he was right to refuse. The issues he represents cannot be subordinated to party. One wishes he had hammered the immigration point in that first question, by saying: "Any candidate who doesn't respond to the threat of uncontrolled immigration cannot represent me." He'd better understand that's his signature issue. Other than that, he sounds informed, smart, and presidential. Brilliant on Obamacare. Brilliant on giving money to politicians. Brilliant on immigration.

Cruz did the best after Trump, including pointing out that he was the only one to vote against Rubio's amnesty, which he called "Schumer's amnesty."

Walker was good, but his best moment came after the debate when he made a point with Hannity of saying he wanted to do something about our uncontrolled legal immigration, too.
Trump failed to deal effectively with the Megyn Kelly set up questions regarding 3rd party and comments about wymn. He could have effectively diffused both had he done his homework. Attacking Kelly was a loser move.

#6  I liked Carly Fiorina.

You probably liked John McCain too.

#5  I thought Trump dealt quite well with Megyn Kelly. She pitched him the hardest ball she could pitch when she asked about his comments about a certain woman and he hit it out of the park. He remains upfront, brash and unapologetic. He remains politically incorrect and I, for one, am sick of political correctness.

But beyond that, he knows the effect it's having in the media. Cruz did very well in the debate but he's not getting the kind of attention Trump is getting. Trump knows that and uses it.

Why should Trump support Jeb? Jeb was pathetic. I can't support him either. It's way too early to write him off but Jeb looked weak and tentative compared to all of the rest of the candidates. He looks like all he has going for him is a lot of money. He looked like a bowl of mush next to steak and eggs.

#3  Attacking Kelly was a loser move.

I disagree. Always attack the media. They are your enemy. I'll repeat, the Left considers politics just another form of war. If you get rid of your guilt and their sales pitch of it and shove right back with the same vehemence they employ, you might have a fight. Cower or even just act polite, and they'll rob and dominate you everyday.

#2  Who me? Be a debate moderator? No, er huh, he's a pal, I want no part of that BS! I'll be in Boston doing other things that night. Besides, it's not my schtick.

Sorry.

#1  I liked Carly Fiorina. She is sharp. You can see she is strong.I think she will move up over the coming year. Maybe into the top five. That sort of solid crisp intelligence deserves that.

That kind of talent and bearing is Presidential.
Perry liked and respected her also. He said she was a good Negotiator.
WHY can't America raise up a LEADER ? WHY, what is it in the American Voter's character, that we can't get anything better than an Obama or a Kerry ?
Incompetent slime, is that all America can hold up to the world? That is all Hillary is too...Crushed Fetal parts and corrupt stink.
