How many debates do the GOP presidential candidates need. Does practice

make perfect, not for the GOP. LOL

January 14, January 16, January 19, January 23, January 26, February 22, March 1, March 5, March 19, on and on.

How many times do they have to say the same thing over and over again about hatred, limited but highly intrusive government, who the 'real' Americans are, how to best beat up on minorities, gays, etc.; how to take healthcare away, how to roll over the poor, how to take more away from the 99%, more about more God and Country, etc., etc., the same blabber over and over again.

the nation is sick of these debates. Don't quote me, don't hold me to it, but it seems like it was in the 80% range ... of people that will be glad when the 'real' election finally comes.
