To be honest, and I know how lefties feel about what I'm going to say, but I'd prefer Trump right now to any of them. Bill Maher talked about him with Keith Olbermann and they both agreed that Trump on a one on one basis is a nice guy. Strange but true and it isn't only at their level I've heard it said. I don't like his stand on emigration or pretty much anything but at least he's not a religious nut. He doesn't believe grain got stored in the pyramids because Joseph built them. Every other candidate seems to be a religious ideologue with some worse than the others but they all will play havoc with what I value for rights while they proclaim themselves believers in freedom. They will fight wars we don't need and add to the military war machinery while they deny benefits to the soldiers when they return. Their tax plans benefit again the wealthiest while claiming they care about the middle and on the environment, don't get me started. <br /><br />To see someone like Ben Carson though rise up as he has and listen to comments other places where his fans don't care if he has been a pathological liar and blame the left for it even coming out, what worries me the worst is the voters not even these candidates. Depressing. <br /><br />I watched the first Republican debate but won't be watching this one. I just can't listen to how they get away without having to actually answer the questions. I just hope they don't ask Carson about his memoir and the stories in it that cannot be proven to be true. We know how he'd answer it and get a chance to score again with the base who see him as their religious hero. They should ask him instead about the supplement he shilled for and how he denied he had any connection to them despite the videos... Or better yet, ask him about his policies. How would he balance the budget when he cuts taxes so much for the rich with no answer on how to pay for it? How about abortion? Gay marriage? Health care? He's thin on policies and at his level in the game there is no excuse for letting him get away with that. Does he also want more wars without an increase in taxes to pay for them? Does he really believe Jesus is giving him the right answers for what to do? etc. etc. He really does drive me nuts and even worse is how he gets away with it all while blaming someone else for even daring to question him. My guess is clinically he's a pathological liar and maybe worse.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-27904708055945783772015-11-10T07:25:13.593-07:002015-11-10T07:25:13.593-07:00He is a whiner, but I do agree, Trump is a bully. ...He is a whiner, but I do agree, Trump is a bully. He's been a bully his whole life. It's the only way he knows how to be. Do we really want a bully in the White House or a whiner for that matter? If Carson's feelings are so hurt, just imagine dealing with foreign leaders. Is he going to whine when Angela Merkel rains on his parade? I want my President to have a freakin' backbone and I definitely don't want him to be an out right liar--something we know Carson is. I know people watch the Republican debates, but I cannot get past the lies and downright pettiness. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Megan xxxMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.com
