A big thank you to those reporting on the clown show debate

I tried and I feared I may blow my stack.
I snuck in and out. Unfortunately I snuck in at the Planned Parenthood point and started screaming at the TV.

So thank you for taking one for the team. You are braver and stronger than me and I would guess many others.

great topics, lots of disagreements, entertaining...

I can't help but think that if space aliens are taking it all in they must think that peace in the US, as well as the world, is impossible when members of the SAME party fight so much and seem to dislike each other quite a bit.

If they were of different parties, it seems that an armed guard would have to stay on the platform to keep them all safe.

Poor Obama caused all the problems of the world, all by hisself.

I think that end of the planet on the 28th is too long to wait.

And did you know that John Kasich was on that very plane with Ronald Reagan himself?

Also - Huckabee says that pro-choicers think babies in the womb are just chunks of unborn tissue.

I think my head is going to explode.

Let me guess. They're appearing in a production of Inherit the Wind on Broadway Christie will play William Jennings Bryan and Hillary will play Scopes. Who's going to play Clarence Darrow? Do you know?

except for that one little thing. But after that - as long as you didn't live in New Orleans or weren't in the military - he kept us safe...From what, I'm not sure.

punishment. I watched All In with Chris Hayes for the interview of the young man who built the clock. I was impressed with him and he has a bright future. He also has an invitation to visit MIT to add to his list of invitations. After the interview, the I turned off the TV.

At the end of their Presidency:

Hucklebee - America would be like heaven and Kim Davis would be a Justice on the Supreme Court.

Cruz - Students still shackled with education loans would find good job market.

Carly - She repeated Pledge of Allegiance. I guess she wanted to show everyone she knows it by heart.

Bush - Misspoke? He actually said everyone would have pot.

Ben - He's running as the smart one, but never says he would do anything, He is still thinking.

Rubio = We'd be in World War 3.

Trump - Everyone would be really, really wealthy.

Kaisch - We would all be Ohioans.
