As always, this thread will open about a half hour before the debate starts. All other threads on this topic will either be closed, merged or deleted.
The participants qualifying for the prime-time, 7 p.m. ET debate are: Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum and Jim Gilmore.
The first hour-long forum will be moderated by Martha MacCallum and Bill Hemmer.
I absolutely can't stand Florina and I really can't figure out why. Jim Gilmore is making some good points.
I agree. There is something about her that just rubs me the wrong way. Aside from the fact that she was part of the Lucent debacle and my brother lost it all after he retired. He had a pension but any extra he had put into Western Electric/Lucent stock. Not a sophisticated investor and employees were encouraged by the company to buy the stock. A 40 year employee.
She is articulate but it's her manner. eta: not watching...at work.

With your brother's experience I can see why you'd have a built-in reason not to like Carly, but I have no such connection. Like you said, she's articulate BUT she presents herself in such a hostile way, like she's got a pickle up her butt, that it's hard to even listen to her air of superiority.
Well, that debate is over. Trump was mentioned a few times but nothing really new was said.

If you get demoted down to the kiddy table why not just call it quits? What a waste of time and money. None of these candidates have a hope in hell of getting the Republican nomination

They don't but they can raise their speaker's fees the longer they stay in and maybe get book deals.

A big part of running for President of the United States is the #2 spot ...... Vice President.
Joe Biden didn't "call it quits" in 3 different campaings and he wound up as the V.P. for a totally inexperienced Presidential Candidate.
Fiorina has a lot going for her in certain circumstances. She makes zero sense for a Trump Presidency - he objects to "her face". On the other hand, she is smart, informed and knows people all over the world. She has a lot to offer in certain circumstances ..... so far, the debate moderators in ANY debate have been unable to "stump" her on any subject.

Fiorina needs a spot in government. She's the only one talking about how big it is and that it needs to be cut down to a manageable size and stop the waste. Her only mistake was going after the frontrunner continuously.
