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!

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.

Why can't we get good people in office? So many just.....suck. I know I was reading about a former pol the other day, that someone had criticized the ex pol for not leaving d.c. rich!

I was not a fan of Rice as Secretary of State. She would have been fine if the Soviet Union were still in existence. But it wasn't and I felt she wasn't able to adjust her foreign policy views to a post dual-superpower world.

I think Elizabeth Warren is better in the Senate at this point.

I think Clinton would be fine as President, but she's not a good candidate; she doesn't have her husband's or Obama's charisma. I dunno. Then again, she can probably handle whatever the GOP campaign throws at her; she's had plenty of practice. It still boggles my mind that Kerry didn't come back with both barrels over the Swift Boat crap. Someone else who I think would have been a good President, but was a terrible candidate.

LOL talk about delusional....She will likely be on trial or already on her way to prison by election day 2016. And she may prefer that to dealing with this pitbull (who will be on the main stage next time):

Carly fiorina?!?! Lol
She's the pits, not a pitbull.


When there was speculation that Fiorina may run as McCain’s VP pick in 2008, one former employee of Fiorina’s said:

I said when Carly was mentioned as a possible running mate with John McCain, he’s a war hero and former POW. I think he’s suffered enough already

As for Clinton....not a fan at all.

Cut RBE a break. As his recently ended love affair with Trump has shown us, he has a soft spot for rich kids with poor business skills.

Speaking of trump....

From the Gawker comment thread:

Trump: "The female moderator questioned me about my history of misogynistic comments because she was on her period.”

I'll say it again....Trump reminds me of George Wallace. His appeal is to those who are angry and wishing to return to the past where white men could say and do as they pleased. George started out as fairly liberal but after losing an election he vowed to "never be out n-word again" and he stayed true to his word, race-bating his way to a Presidential run. Trump's game plan certainly appears to be to continuously be so outrageous that nobody looks behind the curtain.
