What bothers me is she KEEPS bragging about going from Secretary and climbing the ladder all the way to CEO Hewlett Packard. What she NEVER MENTIONS is that as CEO she nearly bankrupted the company, thus she was fired from the CEO job.

Your comment about XX chromosomes is really insulting to me. I don't vote based on gender. Just like I didn't voted for Obama because he's black -- it wasn't his race, it was his ideology. But I digress.
Both my husband and I though Fiorina won that debate last night (with Rubio a close second). She was well-spoken, well-informed and has actual PLANS. At this point, she has my vote, and that's NOT because I'm a woman, it's because I'm an intelligent conservative.
Trump is a bloviating idiot. Bush is milktoast. Carson is a nice guy with good ideas but no passion. I could go on with the lesser field, but why?

I gotta tell ya, Desdichado, I didn't think much of her until the debate last night. Granted, I didn't see the first debate, but I have been leaning toward Cruz or Rubio -- and I still like them both very much -- but Friorina proved herself to be a great communicator last night and I like her chutzpah.

You know, no matter who I think is the best debater, I have to say that the best candidate is going to be the one who can actually get things done. I suppose Obama has set the standard with that. He rolled all over congress and reminded me more of a dictator. I suppose the candidate most likely to be able to do that would be Trump. Certainly, Marco Rubio would likely be the best, but I really don't think he could make the changes happen that he suggested the country needs. How would any one of them do that unless they go the same dicatorial route that Obama has? Most presidents have not done that, but have worked within their respective parties and with Congress. If you don't think your favorite candidate would ever go that route, which of them do you consider the best candidate?

Lots of uncertainty in political campaigns.
If Fiorina numbers go north, I suspect Carson's will head south. Could be wrong.
Either way, I like the fact that the frontrunners are not politicians.
(If you disagree with me, do not resort to name calling, at least not in this matter. I am not a moron. Thank you!

Voters wanted a debate, CNN wanted a reality show. We got the latter, with Trump as the "star."
Trump’s presidential campaign is nothing more than an enterprise in the distinctive use of television. This just another season of "The Apprentice," which enjoyed success based on the same viewer demand out there in 2016 politics.
Last night's debate, to a great extent the 2016 GOP campaign, is exactly what the TV networks did with the big quiz shows like "21" of the 1950s. Most of you are too young to remembers nerdy Herb Stempel and the well-born Charles Van Doren sweat in the "isolation booth." Could they come up with the answers in time? How long could they continue as champions?
Turned out that booth wasn't actually very isolated. Congressional investigation into prime-time network games shows put an end to "21" and other shows like it because of the discovery of fraud and a quest for ratings. Show producers wanted to win popular constants to win, so they gave them the answers to the payoff questions that guaranteed their return. They did this while they wore headphones that supposedly kept them from hearing what was happening on stage.
That might sound off-topic. It isn't. This is how we elect presidents today. Trump guarantees ratings, so the network and cable news operations let him get by on fluff, bluster, and ignorance, the same attitude that put Obama in the White House. God help us, please don't let the reality/game show mentality put a dumbass fake conservative in there, too.

A lot.
You don't think, in his years as a pediatric neurosurgeon, he wasn't a fighter? That's not giving the man credit for being able to handle the pressure of holding the essence of a human being -- a child's brain, no less -- in his hands, knowing that one wrong step destroys who the patient is, or perhaps kills him/her. Surgeons can't afford to be excitable, can't allow themselves the luxury of ranting and raving against the unfairness and corruption of the human body as Trump rants and raves against the political system.
Trump can't rant and rave at Putin, al-Baghdadi, al-Zawahiri. He'll have to take action, and anger or arrogance has no place in the midst of such a decision. Give me the calm and rationale of a neurosurgeon instead of a raving maniac when we have to confront national security, an economic collapse, or riots in inner cities across the country.
I'd much rather have a man who knows that kind of pressure in the realm of neurological surgery than some clown who never worked a day in his life, who claims his "favorite book" is the Bible but can't even quote something as simple as John 3:16, and whose second-favorite book is "The Art of the Deal."

Experience - Bush, maybe Rubio
Most aggressive - Trump
Most knowledgeable about business - Trump

Most likely to know what bills are not good for the country and it's citizens and how to handle it - Rubio
Most likely to know what bills are not good - Carson
Most likely to follow his plan - Trump(I have difficulty trusting that he does not have a plan he isn't talking about and that is what I think he will follow, not his public plan)
Rubio will follow what he tells everyone as best he can.

Let's face it, unless Congress is changed, it's going to be tough to have any real change unless the POTUS bypasses congress. I reserve the right to change my mind.
