It looks like the Pauls, father and son, have a bit of a sticky situation to deal with:

Rand Paul super PAC head indicted over alleged 2012 campaign finance violations

So, who will be watching the GOP Debate tonight? I'll try to catch a bit of it, but got an early morning tomorrow so can't stay up too late.

Anyway, here's the essential documentation:

I don't drink, so I'll pass, but I hope I will be able to watch, partly for the educational value, and partly for the guilty pleasure of the entertainment value. I am not interested in Trump as president, but I understand why he is doing so well early on--people want someone who will speak their mind. Have to give Trump credit for that, he is not playing politician.

Amazing. But I doubt it will last.

Oberon · 08-06-15, 02:22 PM

Could always make it shots or sips of Dr Pepper, that's probably what I'll do.

Platapus · 08-06-15, 04:02 PM

I have no interest in hearing what any politician has to say. Simply there is little correlation between what they say now and what they may do if elected.

I always snicker when someone who has never been POTUS start to declare what they will do when they become POTUS... They have no idea what the job is about.

And unless they are talking about the Executive Branch, any time a wannabe says "I will do this", what they really mean is that "I will ASK congress"

It does not matter what the POTUS wants to do, what matters is what Congress will allow the POTUS to do.

Nah, I can't think this debate will be even entertainment.

I have not CNN or other English speaking news channel- Would have been interesting to see this debate.

Indeed, seems it's a bit hard to find a live stream of it outside of the States, bit of a shame really.

Kptlt. Neuerburg · 08-06-15, 05:58 PM

I'm trying to think which would be more entertaining to watch, this GOP debate or the final episode of The Daily Show.

If I was a drinker, I'd have a major hangover this morning.

You're doing a better job than the rest of the world and most of the US then.

Wolferz · 08-07-15, 01:24 PM

What debate?

It looked more like a Faux News sychophantic attack piece to me.

Trump kind of carpet bombed all of them including that loaded panel of Faux News talking heads.

Megyn Kelly should go ahead an change her hair color so she can at least try to look like she has some brains.
