But the good news is this is the last generation of warmongering Republicans. The younger ones are mostly for restraint and are more socially liberal.

This about sums up the format. It felt like CNN's main objective was to create conflict among the candidates rather than debate. I stopped watching CNN years ago. Now I remember why.

What this causes me to ask....and I asked it the other day in a poll thread was whether or not the Carson jump was anything other than manufactured nonsense?

No they arent. Hillary is shedding female support in large batches.

Many women will not back a woman that allows a man to treat them the way Bill has her.

Carly lost me with her war-hawk talk and her totally made up abortion video comments.


Carly Fiorina is wrong about the Planned Parenthood tapes. I know because I watched them.

Fiorina's Planned Parenthood Comment Was Graphic, Upsetting — And Totally Made-Up

Carly Fiorina described a gruesome image when she talked about defunding Planned Parenthood during Wednesday's Republican debate. A fetus, heart beating, on a table, about to be dismembered, "its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain." A scene awful enough to send anyone caught on tape as a part of it straight to jail for life.

Vox journalist Sarah Kliff has watched all 12 hours of unedited footage shot by activists for the Center for Medical Progress, an anti-abortion group that tried to buy fetal tissue from different Planned Parenthood affiliates. Kliff wrote, "Either Fiorina hasn't watched the Planned Parenthood videos or she is knowingly misrepresenting the footage. Because what Fiorina says happens in the Planned Parenthood videos simply does not exist."

You are so right about Carson claiming he is being misquoted. He needs to quit doing that.

She lost me a bit earlier, when she said the very first call she'd make if she becomes president would be to Benjamin Netanyahu.

No, they'll just vote Biden or Sanders.

Watch Carly Fiorina's lurid rant about abortion and Planned Parenthood at the CNN GOP debate.

"It was quite a performance, and it opens the question of what Fiorina was inhaling before she watched those videos. There is nothing in the videos made by CMP, either in the edited or full-length versions, that has anything approaching images of legs kicking or hearts beating.

I think it may be exactly what you say it is and we hardly ever agree.
