TED CRUZ SPEAKS IN LA, CONTINUES QUEST TO END IRAN DEAL
Mr. President, we see across the globe the rise in radical Islamic terror. i’ll tell you right now you cannot win a war on radical Islamic terror with a president and an administration unwilling to utter the words “radical Islamic terror.”
“If this deal is such a good idea, then I challenge President Obama and Secretary Kerry and Secretary Clinton to come and look in the eyes of the mothers and fathers who have lost their soldiers and tell them it’s a good idea.
In the midst of negotiating this deal, Ayatollah Khameini led a chant of “Death to America” while American flags were burning. If history teaches one principle, it is that if somebody tells you they want to kill you, believe them.

Judge Napolitano Says Hillary Email Revealed Location of Ambassador Stevens in Libya
Hillary Clinton shouldn’t be on the campaign trail right now, she should be in prison.
According to Judge Andrew Napolitano, several emails he read from Hillary revealed the location of Ambassador Stevens in Libya, along with the location of fighter jets during NATO bombings.
Check out this video for details. The remarks about the specific emails above begins at the 2:45 mark.

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
Carly won the undercard match by a mile, she should step up to the big stage.
I told you Trump is entertaining to watch, but when he's up next to the career professional politicians and their governing resumes he can't say much but be negative. Obviously him bashing Rosie O'Donnell was his best.
I still like Cruz.
Of course the script from the mods was to attack Trump and Miss USA Megyn's eyelashes were as big as fruit bats - she was all lips and legs
(not that there's anything wrong with that)

Did you hear Cruz's answer to the Whore of Babylon near the end?
“Senator Cruz, start from you. Any word from God?” Kelly asked.
“Well, I am blessed to receive a word from God every day in receiving the scriptures and reading the scriptures. And God speaks through the Bible,” Cruz replied, to applause.
“I'm the son of a pastor and evangelist, and I've described many times how my father, when I was a child, was an alcoholic. He was not a Christian. And my father left my mother and left me when I was just three years old.
“And someone invited him to Clay Road Baptist Church. And he gave his heart to Jesus, and it turned him around. And he got on a plane and he flew back to my mother and me.
“I would also note that the scripture tells us, ‘You shall know them by their fruit.’ We see lots of campaign conservatives. But if we're going to win in 2016, we need a consistent conservative, someone who has been a fiscal conservative, a social conservative, a national security conservative.”
He added that he has “been proud to fight and stand for religious liberty, to stand against Planned Parenthood, to defend life for my entire career.”
Sen. Mark Rubio (R-Fla.) was next, but Kelly changed the question a bit, telling Rubio, “a woman just came here to the stage and asked, what about the veterans?” She then asked Rubio “about God and the veterans.”
“Well, first, let me say I think God has blessed us. He has blessed the Republican Party with some very good candidates. The Democrats can't even find one,” Rubio said to laughter and applause.
“And I believe God has blessed our country. This country has been extraordinarily blessed. And we have honored that blessing. And that's why God has continued to bless us.
“And he has blessed us with young men and women willing to risk their lives and sometimes die in uniform for the safety and security of our people.” He went on to talk about the failures of the Veterans Administration.

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
It's hard to judge how this debate turned out for most of the candidates. The question "who won" is fundamentally silly. Everybody who gains as a result "wins".
It's the most watched primary debate in history, so lots of people tuned in who normally don't pay attention.
3 questions:
1) What impression did it make on people who don't know the candidates?
2) What impression did it make on people who already have a candidate?
3) How did it affect the news coverage, which influences those who didn't watch?
My take...
1) newbies... Fiorina, Carson, and Kasich had the strongest showing. I think Paul and Jindal were the weakest.
2) supporters... Trump was the only one (IMO) who lost big. Jeb Bush maintained his standing.
3) news coverage... Fiorina clearly "won" this debate. Paul raised his stock and Christie just bombed out. Trump had a really bad day... except he's doing a victory lap over the online polling, so maybe he didn't.
On point 1, my take is the weakest. It's hard to put myself in the shoes of someone who doesn't follow this stuff. Just looking at the superficial impressions, Fiorina and Carson looked really "presidential" while Paul came off as desperate.
#2 was anybody who already had a favorite candidate swayed away from them? Clearly I agree with Paul and Cruz and disagree with Christie and Graham. I didn't see anything that swayed me otherwise. I think this was true for most viewers (whoever their favorite is). Except for Trump. I think Trump showed a lot to discourage his base last night. Could be wrong...
I base #3 strictly on how the media covered the debates. Their storylines were 1) Trump had a bad day 2) Fiorina won both debates and 3) Paul thoroughly owned Christie on domestic data collection.
What weight should each approach be given? I don't know.
We'll see how this shook up the race in about a week.

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
nobody even cares what they said in the debate, the GOP just wants Trump out
Donald Trump Disinvited From Conservative Conference Over Megyn Kelly Remarks
Trump: Debate Moderator Had ‘Blood Coming Out of Her Wherever’
"What is it with you and Megyn Kelly?” Lemon asked Trump, who had spent most of the past 24 hours slamming Fox News and Kelly on social media and in TV interviews.
"She gets out and starts asking me all sorts of ridiculous questions,” Trump told Lemon. "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes. Blood coming out of her — wherever.”

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
I think what Rand Paul said to Chris Christie was a low blow. The only thing Gov. Christie had on his mind that day was getting help for the people of his state....immediate need for food, water, and shelter. He only did what any good leader should do and what I would expect out of the leader of the free world. If Obama used it for his own political gain to win re-election, then shame on HIM.
I watched both debates and was very impressed with Carly Fiorina. For much of the country, it was an introduction to someone who, before Thursday night, was relatively unknown. She made a very good first impression and I wish she had been on the later debate so 24 million people could have heard her. I did find some negative history that I'm sure Hillary will use against her, but Carly seems more than capable of handling it. Her stock on the rise and who knows what could happen. There were several candidates that I would have no problem supporting, even though I don't agree with anyone of them 100%. This is going to get very interesting before it gets to the point where we all say, "I don't care who wins, just STFU about it!" :lol:
Maybe I just see some poetic justice in the thought of seeing Hillary's face if someone else claims the title of "First Woman President of the United States" .

Re: 2016 Presidential Election
And IMO, whoever wins the election would be a fool not to include Carly Fiorina and Dr. Ben Carson in their administration. Both are extremely intelligent people who want see this country be great again. Dr. Carson is such a smart and compassionate human being and is the perfect person to help heal the division that the current president has created. Dr. Ben Carson "gets it". I really like him, but he doesn't have snowball's chance in hell to become president...at least this time around.

I'm glad Carly shut him up, 'cuz his position wasn't "Hillary is honest", but rather "you shouldn't call her a liar". Screw that. She *IS* a liar, demonstrably an elitist, and almost certainly corrupt if not a criminal. and we all know it, which is why her positives have been tanking over the course of the summer.
Also, Carly left one example out: That time she lied about being under fire in Bosnia, which was a Brian Williams level bald faced lie.

Too much ego, too little brains IMO.

Cruz Praises Megyn Kelly, Does Not Condemn Trump
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner...lexis-levinson
Atlanta — Ted Cruz praised Megyn Kelly in a gaggle with reporters Satuday, but declined to say anything negative about Donald Trump or address the comments Trump made about Kelly.
“That was a decision for RedState to make,” Cruz said of RedState Gathering host Erick Erickson disinviting Trump from the event.
“I think every candidate should treat everyone else with civility and respect. That’s the standard I try to follow, it’s a standard I hope all of us aspire to. I also think that we’re not gonna solve the problems in this country, we’re not gonna defeat the Washington cartel by obsessing over the politics of personalities. This is about real challenges facing the American people. This is about bankrupting our kids and grandkids, defending the bill of rights, and restoring America’s leadership in the world. That’s where my focus has been and it’s where I intend to keep it.”

Good answer from Cruz, but I've definitely got problems with that panel. Why is it that the questions thrown out at Republican primary debates are always about defending conservatism instead of defending their records? You never hear this crap at Dem primary debates.
"How would you defend yourself against charges of perpetuating a war on women"?! Whaa??? :mad2: What kind of half-assed liberal question is that??
And the beginning of the show/ candidate intro was so bizarrely ineptly handled, it actually made me feel uncomfortable for them. I had to leave the room and come back after the commercial break.
