Hood shooter got to grow a beard so Kim Davis can ignore her duties as a government servant? \u00a0And what about that Supreme Court? \u00a0Teddy rang right in that he would choose only candidates that agreed with his positions on everything.<\/p>\n<p>Most improved: \u00a0Jeb. \u00a0Yes Jeb held his own. \u00a0Not sterling but he seemed more with it. \u00a0I was a little annoyed that he wasn&#8217;t more enthusiastic about his positions. \u00a0He seemed a bit namby-pamby. \u00a0Energy Energizer!<\/p>\n<p>Most annoying: \u00a0Christ Christie. \u00a0Ok. Ok. Ok. \u00a0We&#8217;ve heard that you appointed as a Federal prosecutor on September 10, 2001. \u00a0Blah, blah, blah. \u00a0More salient facts about the status of New Jersey and all of the GW Bridge fiasco can&#8217;t really be swept under the rug. \u00a0Too much patting himself on the back.<\/p>\n<p>Most forgettable: \u00a0Scott Walker. \u00a0I almost forgot! \u00a0Did the people of Wisconsin really elect him governor? \u00a0Are they putting chemicals in the cheese up there? \u00a0 \u00a0He is a complete loser. \u00a0I can&#8217;t remember one thing that he said.<\/p>\n<p>Almost as forgettable as Scott Walker: \u00a0Kasich and Rubio. \u00a0I&#8217;m sure they are nice guys. \u00a0In fact, they are probably the nicest ones that were there. \u00a0But neither one said anything exciting that did sound like their stump speeches rather than debatable issues. \u00a0They both get a C.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, the least engaging: \u00a0Carly. \u00a0Yes. \u00a0I know the media is having orgasms over her. \u00a0But she&#8217;s really just Ann Coulter but without the warmth. \u00a0How do you get to be a candidate for President when you lead 2 huge (YUGE) corporations into the ground. \u00a0Lucent Technologies is defunct and Hewlett-Packard is on it&#8217;s way out. \u00a0She did nothing for these companies lead them down the tubes. \u00a0 And she lost her election against Barbara Boxer by ten points. \u00a0And her presumption that Hillary lied about Benghazi (no evidence has been found that the allegation is true after 8 investigations) and lied about her emails, Carly has a bit of trouble with the truth herself. \u00a0During the debate she claimed to a viewed a video depicting a Planned Parenthood employee basically killing a live fetus. \u00a0That does not exist. \u00a0This might be why she was fired from Lucent and HP. \u00a0She&#8217;s dangerous. \u00a0Anyone who can make false statements with such bravado cannot possibly be lead our country. \u00a0She would be putting lives in jeopardy not just stockholders. \u00a0No, I don&#8217;t want to see that face as President. \u00a0The Donald probably got it right!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I guess you could call it that. \u00a0Yes. \u00a0I actually stayed up and watched to the bitter end. \u00a0I came away with some new impressions that I can share. \u00a0First, let&#8217;s get The Donald out of the way. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t see anything that would change anyone&#8217;s mind who likes him. \u00a0He hung in there albeit his lack of concrete foreign policy plans. \u00a0Nonetheless, I would give him a pass&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mmpcdc"],"a3_pvc":{"activated":false,"total_views":0,"today_views":0},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=493"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":495,"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493\/revisions\/495"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/manassascitydemocrats.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
