What’s all the whining and complaining about?
I am utterly amazed at the whining and complaining about the questions asked during the debate last night…especially about the questions to Donald Trump. What should have Megyn Kelly asked? Mr. Trump, boxers or briefs? Chocolate of vanilla ice cream? Mets or Yankees? The fact is Donald Trump has said some of those things about women and if he wasn’t asked last night, he would have certainly been asked down the road. The socialist party has been effective with their mantra of “the Republican war on women” so the question would have eventually come up. The fact is Megyn Kelly did Donald Trump a favor. Megyn Kelly gave Donald Trump a lay up. Just answer the question!
This is not an election for homecoming king and queen. It is an election for the leader of the free world, arguably, the most important presidential election ever. After watching Bush create $5 trillion of debt and after watching Obama create $7 trillion with more time to go, we need some serious people in the White House going forward. After watching Bush mishandle the Iraq war and when finally righted, watch Obama destroy all the gains leading to Isis, this is no time for the meek and mild. This country needs toughness. It is no place for wussies. If someone does not want to answer the toughest of questions, take a powder. This country cannot afford another socialist and corruptionist (just made up that word) in the White House and unfortunately, the Republican opponent will most likely be just that in Hillary Clinton. It is a must that the Republican candidate is ready as the national media will surely lie on its back, put their paws in the air, wag their tongues and bow down to Hillary regardless of lack of talent, lies, corruption and everything else she represents. Wake up you wussies. The Fox News moderators get an A+ for doing what they were paid to do…hold the candidates feet to the fire.

Pleasantly surprised but doesn’t matter:
Jim Gilmore
Sounded like he was talking from a freezer:
Lindsey Graham
Oh yeah…the Donald…he continues to touch nerves the most which means he will continue to be front and center. He took the most fire and still breathes.
I disagree with your comments on questions asked by moderators.
Many of the questions were set up as gotcha questions. Lowered my respect for FOX NEWS.
PS Used to be an avid watcher of the Saturday Business Block until they started years ago of having strategists on who only earned money by talking, never giving us any info on stocks or thoughts on the market.
Gary well said… but you left out Senator Ted Cruz.
As conservatives we can not fail to select the best candidate this time… true to conservative ideals… true to the US constitution… true to our founding fathers’ efforts in making the United States so unique and exceptional… all of which have been trampled by the left over the past few years. Just to mention a few things then about Ted Cruz (whose voice incidentally, doesn’t exactly match what we might expect of a man with such integrity).
He has often faced down massive federal government, big spending Republican (RINO) leaders who have sold their political influence to lobbyists and special interests; and he often has stood out alone to do this motivated only by respect for the US Constitution and the courage of his convictions… though at times joined only by one or two others who fight against politics as usual in Washington. Senator Mike Lee, another great conservative often joins Cruz.
Senator Cruz executed the filibuster that brought us to within a hair’s breadth of repealing Obamacare just two years ago and he is one who has committed himself to repeal efforts if it is ever going to be repealed.
He has stood up to Mitch McConnell’s cabal which has assisted this despotic president in executive breaches that a mendacious emperor wouldn’t even try, much less a president. Mc Connells crony Republicans have assisted this president to achieve every wish he has, even after the landslide defeat handed to Democrats in mid-term 2014 elections.
So lets not overlook this man and what he has done and will do.
On these matters Ted Cruz stands out as clearly as the most influential and effective of all of the candidates.
