I don’t really know how to start this. I don’t know how to start this because I’m a type of guy that wants to give someone the benefit of the doubt, but I also want to be informed and I want to know more about the information told to me. Now that brings me to the Republican Debate. I will be honest, I don’t really like any of the Republican candidates mostly because I don’t like their political stances and in the case of Donald Trump he’s a giant massive egomaniacal troll. He’s basically Biff from Back to the Future, but like I said I’m willing to give people the benefit of the doubt. With the recent Republican debate, I might have to tweak and adjust that assessment. Like many people across the US I tuned into the Republican Debate, the main event not the pre-show, and It was not the circus it was during the first debate with the I assume 56 presidential candidates that were there before because now we have I guess like 42? I don’t know, but it’s a lot. It still was a sideshow but an entertaining sideshow that didn’t have me cringing on my couch like the other debate had me doing. But this debate was still a sight to behold because the things they said made me want to smother myself with a pillow. I don’t even know where to start or even how to address the statements that they made that they wanted to further their political argument. I don’t know how to begin. Now before I dig deep into my soul and talk about this…thing I know that people think that the moderators were a little hard on the candidates which I can understand if their talking about a political bias, but if they want to become PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES they will have to take some tough questions. They complained when the debate was on Fox so I just don’t pay any attention to any they say. And I doubt that there is an “agnostic” moderator so Rubio and Cruz…stop bitching.
I’m going to start with what Carly Fiorina said about the 92%, yes I said 92%, I repeat THE 92% of the supposed job losses in President Obama’s first term belonged to women. Which was false because Mitt Romney tried to use that same argument during his presidential campaign and that was debunked three years ago. Ted Cruz also said something that was untrue when he said women’s wages have declined under Obama, when in fact the latest figures show their wages have increased. Donald Trump said that he never had criticized Marco Rubio and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg which also turned out to be false because he did criticize them both and the proof is ON HIS WEBSITE!!! The cojones that this guy has to be so bold and spew complete and utter bullshit is remarkable. And people buy it which makes it even more crazy. He also claimed that he was 100 percent self-funding his entire campaign. Which is also bullshit because MORE than HALF of the money from his campaign was raised from his supporters’ contributions. Ben Carson, who by the way sounds like he smoked too much pot who is that calm no one is that calm and relaxed it’s impossible his quiet voice gets on my nerves because it sounds like he’s talking in slow motion, maybe he has peanut butter in his mouth, but anyway he said that it was “total propaganda” to say he was involved with a controversial nutritional supplement company, but he appeared in promotional videos for the company, praising their products. Ben Carson was also the one that said that under the Nazis, "German citizens were disarmed by their government in the late 1930s," which allowed the Nazis to "carry out their evil intentions with relatively little resistance." This is a misreading of history on two levels. First, German citizens as a whole were not disarmed by the Nazis. Jews and other supposed enemies of the state were subject to having their weapons seized. But for most German citizens, the Nazi period was one in which gun regulations were loosened, not tightened. Second, a lack of guns was not the issue. If the majority of Germans had wanted to use these guns to fight the Nazis, they could have. But they didn’t. Carson ignores that the Nazis enjoyed significant popular support, or at least, broad acquiescence. Third, the Jewish citizens having weapons most likely wouldn’t have done anything because we’re talking about the same Nazi regime that took over France in about a month in a half. “The Battle of France” 10 May – 25 June 1940 (1 month and 15 days) which was a decisive victory where France had to surrender. So yeah Carson is full of shit too. Along with everyone else like Rubio who claimed that CNBC’s John Harwood was wrong that a Tax Foundation analysis of his tax plan found those in the top 1 percent of earners would get nearly twice the gain as those in the middle. Rubio would have been right if he wasn’t wrong and that Harwood was actually right, and that’s on a percentage basis. So in conclusion they are all full of shit and so let’s never do this again.

I enjoyed reading this thought-provoking and informative post. I wonder how these candidates would respond to your counterarguments here?

" Donald Trump, he’s a giant massive egomaniacal troll " possibly the best thing I have read all week. That really gave me a good laugh. As a republican, I can say that most of the candidates stink. None on the Democratic side interests me either, so this campaign is frustrating to watch go on. Either way, I really enjoyed this post. Your blogging is informing and entertianing to read.
