So I guess the best gaffe happened at the GOP Jr debate already.

Think it is sad that we are clamoring so much for a woman to lead that the best we can put up is a failed CEO Carly Fiorina and someone who has used their political office to generate hundreds of millions in profits. Meanwhile Condoleezza Rice and Elizabeth Warren remain on the sidelines. These two alone are smarter than the sum of what we saw yesterday.

Big fan of Ms Rice...said before that she is the only Republican I would vote for, wish she would consider running. Trump did ok last night, held his own against nine clowns. Only thing noteworthy about last night is that Christie came across as willing to cut social security for the uber-rich. News flash...all want to destroy ACA and gays right to marry, what a surprise!

trump may have done ok, but he wasn't with nine clowns..he was one of ten clowns.

i don't want 'a woman' for president. just like i don't want a man, or a black guy, or a white guy, or whatever...
i want a good leader.
if it's a white guy/girl, black, red, purple..i don't care.
completely agree that fiorina and hilary are awful. warren is intriguing...rice on the other hand..wasn't she involved in the 'let's make a case to invade iraq' cabal?

Condy Rice is a rare public figure...highly intelligent, confident but not arrogant, not a politician whose ambition outweighs her abilities. She has shown me the ability to think for herself free from the mindless parroting of partisan talking points. I disagree with many of her positions but the same can be said of Obama, Clinton and the Republican hoard. I consider her a person of integrity gifted with intelligence....find me another like her in today's political mess!

That may well be so....but

If the war was justified, one wouldn't have to lie to get support for it.
and many politicians have the 'integrity' she has.
