Glenn Beck's prediction for GOP Ticket

The morning after declaring Carly Fiorina the “biggest winner” of the second Republican presidential debate — saying she “looked presidential, serious, sharp, well-informed, non-establishment and tough” — Glenn Beck predicted on the radio Thursday that a Marco Rubio-Fiorina ticket “would be gangbusters.”

Some favorites from last Night's Debate

Comment Up

Did you watch the debate?

A few of my favorites of the night--

Marco Rubio
When he actually got a chance to answer a question, he was sharp, concise and not afraid of  Donald Trump.  "The one thing that the federal government must do -- the one thing that only the federal government can do -- is keep us safe. And a president better be up-to-date on those issues on his first day in office, on her first day in office." When he speaks, you trust him as a leader and know that he will be a sensational president.  Rubio, with a BA from U of Florida later said "Go Gators" showing that he had loyalty to his school and that there was another dimension to him--he could break out from his serious side. He talked about immigration saying we must secure our border, the physical border, with a wall. "We also need to have an entry/exit tracking system. 40 percent of the people who come here illegally come legally, and then they overstay the visa. We also need a mandatory e-verify system."

Chris Christie
Recounting his experience on terrorism and telling us that his wife worked two block from the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, he will be tough on ISIS and the policy with Iran and expressed his regard for Israel. I liked him because he went after Hillary, not fellow Republicans. He told the American people that he would be working for them and you believed him. He also had great humor.

Carly Fiorina
Saying that one of the benefits of a presidential campaign is that the character and capability, judgment and temperament of every single one of us is revealed over time and under pressure, she handled herself with authority. She, too, is not afraid of bullies saying that Trump was a good entertainer. "You know what a leader does? They challenge the status quo, they solve problems that have festered for a long time and they produce results. That is what my whole life has been about. People know this is about far more than replacing a D with an R." She was serious and sharp.

Jeb Bush
I never thought that Jeb would shine but last night he did.  He was a great governor for Florida. He said that the next president of the United States is going to have to fix an extraordinary difficult situation. "This administration, with President Obama and Hillary Clinton, has created insecurity the likes of which we never would've imagined. There's not a place in the world where we're better off today than six and a half years ago."

I also liked Ted Cruz, Bobby Jindal who speaks from the heart and says what everyone is thinking but won't say and I thought Lindsey Graham did really well. CNN knocked Donald Trump out of the ballgame.

Who impressed you the most?

The Reality TV Mentality

Comment Up

Where the candidates stand after the debate according to latest poll at NBC:
  • Donald Trump, 23 percent (up 1 point)
  • Ted Cruz, 13 percent (up 7 points)
  • Ben Carson, 11 percent (up 3 points)
  • Carly Fiorina, 8 percent (up 6 points)
  • Marco Rubio, 8 percent (no change)
  • Jeb Bush, 7 percent (down 3 points)
  • Scott Walker, 7 percent (down 3 points)
  • Mike Huckabee, 5 percent (up 1 point)
  • Rand Paul, 5 percent (down 1 point)
  • Rick Perry, 2 percent (no change)
  • John Kasich, 2 percent (down 1 point)
  • Lindsey Graham, 1 percent (no change)
  • Bobby Jindal, 1 percent (no change)
  • Chris Christie, 1 percent (down 2 points)
  • George Pataki, 0 percent (no change)
  • Rick Santorum, 0 percent (down 1 point)
This is a surprise to me. I thought that Marco Rubio won the debate even though he didn't seem to have enough air time with Ted Cruz coming in second as shown above. Frankly, I liked most all of them. The first debate was also great. I think Carly Fiorini and Bobby Jindal lead the pack. I would have thought that Donald Trump would be out of it after his coarse performance.

It just goes to show you that the people are into reality television and enjoy the right in your face sarcasm and just plain rude retorts just as the City of Lake Worth allows some resident to scream in the ear of another or chastise citizens and an elected official or file a false code violation. All is fair in love and war, a statement that goes back to 1579 and still applies today. Politics IS war.

I still believe that decorum wins out in the end especially when electing a President of the United States but I also hope that it will be a deciding factor in Lake Worth on March 15, 2016.

Quote of the Day - Carly Fiorina

Comment Up
On day one in the Oval Office I will make two phone calls. The first one would be to my friend Bibi Netanyahu to assure him we will stand with the state of Israel. The second will be to the supreme leader of Iran. He might not take my phone call. But he would get my message. And the message is this: Until you open every nuclear facility and every military facility to full, open, anytime, anywhere inspections — for real — we are going to make it as difficult as possible for you to move money around the global financial system.

~ Carly Fiorina

When she says something, I believe it. Ms. Fiorina was in the first tier of last night's debates.  She should start to move up in the polls.
