  1. Well,
    1. The GOP needed Hillary Clinton to look bad last night. She didn’t.
    2. The GOP needed the email thing to blow up on her. It didn’t…
    3. The GOP needed Hillary to look weak when attacked. She didn’t.
    4. The GOP needed Hillary to screw up so Joe Biden would enter the race. Didn’t happen. No Joe is likely.
    5. The GOP needed Hillary NOT TO LOOK Presidential. BUT, Hillary Clinton looked pretty Presidential…much better form than any of the GOP candidates did in their debate performances – but let’s be fair, Hillary didn’t have Donald Trump on stage.

    So…I guess if you’re Tea Party talk radio, you have to say something negative about the Democratic Debate last night.
    Something!! :
    1. But!!, but!!….CNN was so in the tank for Hillary. (…..more whining. I mean, the whining, it is SO old)
    2. CNN’s ratings sucked for the Dems! Look at what Trump did for the GOP debate! (yes. Trump is dominating the GOP these days. It’s a circus. Viewers tune in for a dancing bear over policy debates, every time.)
    3. Lacking Hillary screw ups, you have no choice to say, “This is all just a coronation! It’s a farce.” (More whining. The damn whining!)

    I watched Fox News coverage of the Dem debate last night. They were pretty demoralized, no red meat…even Krauthammer acknowledged Hillary looked totally Presidential, and that the Dem Debate…was an actual debate on the issues pointing out the GOP debates look like a circus compared to the Dems.

    Ouch!

    So…if you’re talk radio, you are gonna struggle demeaning the Dem debate last night. My guess:
    1. The ratings on CNN’s debate were so low!
    ….(true, Trump and the circus wasn’t on stage. No kid fights w/ Megyn Kelly. Imp qualities for President)
    2. Flip flops
    ….(I’m not sure there is a candidate who doesn’t have to address this.

    • WoW DB, you are one disillusioned person. Typical little weasel Dem/Lib, trying to pass your own fantastical ideas off like they were fact. I love reading your rants as they prove that there is a need for more mental health discussion in this country. I am pretty sure you would not be allowed to purchase a weapon.

      Keep presenting your skewed version of reality, bubba, maybe someone out there will believe you.

  2. I’m going to quote a registered (over 40yrs) Democrat ,–My wife’s—take on the debate,–” I don’t care what that Lying Old Hag had to say”!

    • Pope Francis would vote for Obama. And Pope Francis would vote for Hillary. Few dispute this. Most of those are those Catholics who don’t like Pope Francis.

      • …meaning most of those Catholics who would disagree with the Pope’s vote for the Democrats?….they are those Catholics who don’t like Pope Francis.

      • Pope Francis is registered to vote in Chicago with John Kennedy and FDR, so his vote counts along with theirs.

  3. Clinton at first claimed she turned over all work-related
    emails to the State Department. False. (The committee later found emails
    between Clinton and both Sidney Blumenthal and David Petraeus that were
    not included by Clinton in her initial production.) She claimed that
    she turned over her emails in response to a routine request the State
    Department made of former secretaries. False. (A State Department
    spokesman acknowledged the request for Clinton’s emails was triggered by
    the revelation that she had a private server.) She claimed she never
    received a subpoena for the emails. False. (Gowdy produced one publicly
    to demonstrate that Clinton’s claim was untrue.) She claimed she used
    only one email device as secretary of state. False. (Clinton herself has
    acknowledged using multiple devices, and FOIA requests make clear that
    she used at least an iPad and a BlackBerry.) She claimed that she
    withheld her “personal” emails because of her private communications
    with her husband, among others. False. (A spokesman for Bill Clinton
    said the former president has sent just two emails in his life, both
    when he was president.) She claimed she never sent classified
    information on her email. False. (Reviews by the inspector general for
    the intelligence community found dozens of Clinton’s email exchanges
    included classified information.) She claimed that everything she did
    with respect to her email was allowed. False. (Clinton’s email setup
    indisputably violated the record retention requirements of the Obama
    administration, and the chief transparency officer at the State
    Department said the arrangement was “not acceptable.”) She claimed
    Blumenthal’s emails to her were “unsolicited.” False. (Clinton
    repeatedly solicited more information from Blumenthal in their email
    exchanges.)

    On October 8, the Benghazi scandal and the email scandal,
    often treated as only tangentially related, converged in a striking way.
    That day, Gowdy released a blistering 13-page missive he had sent to
    Cummings. The letter opened by pushing back forcefully against claims of
    GOP partisanship, arguing such claims are undermined by the fact that
    the Obama administration—including the FBI and inspectors general of the
    intelligence community and the State Department—is now investigating
    the potential criminal wrongdoing surrounding the emails.

    Gowdy waited until page 10 to drop the bombshell. As
    Sidney Blumenthal was advising Clinton on Libya in early 2011,
    specifically pushing greater U.S. support for the Libyan opposition, a
    company he was working with was seeking security contracts with the
    Libyan opposition.

    In an email to Clinton on May 5, 2011, under the subject
    “French economic grab,” Blumenthal warns that the French are seeking
    security contracts with the Libyan opposition, a development he argues
    would give them an important foothold with the post-Qaddafi Libyan
    government. Clinton responds after meeting with officials of Libya’s
    Transitional National Council (TNC). “Just met with TNC again, but no
    signed contracts! Thx.”

    While it wasn’t clear whether Clinton knew about
    Blumenthal’s interest at that time, she certainly knew about it in a
    subsequent exchange where she appeared to offer to serve as a Blumenthal
    emissary to the TNC. On July 14, 2011, Blumenthal provides Clinton
    information about U.S. security contracts in advance of her meeting with
    TNC representatives. Under the subject “H: IMPORTANT FOR YOUR MEETING.
    Sid,” Blumenthal tells Clinton that she will soon learn about an
    agreement between a new company named Osprey Global Solutions and the
    Libyan opposition. Blumenthal touts the unique ability of Osprey to meet
    the security needs of the TNC and reports: “This is the group the TNC
    wants to work with.” Blumenthal then notes that he and two other
    informal Clinton advisers “acted as honest brokers, putting this
    arrangement together through a series of connections, linking the
    Libyans to Osprey and keeping it moving.”

    • Seriously BP. Email stuff?
      NONE of this means Hillary is going to be convicted of ANYTHING. NONE of this means Hillary is going to jail.

      BALLOONPILOT, is there something you’re not paying attention to? The email thing? It ain’t EVER gonna stop Hillary. No one cares!! “I don’t want to hear any more about your damn emails!! Let’s talk about the issues!!”

      But you do BP. You do. You know why? These are lies told by Tea Party fundraisers working on commission. They are USING you.
      The same Tea Party/Freedom Caucus fundraisers said THE SAME DAMN LIES when they said, “We’re gonna repeal Obamacare!!, “We’re gonna stop gay marriage!!”, “We’re gonna shut down the government over the budget!!”

      The things you believe BP. Whew!!

  4. When Trump asked last night who was winning the debate, the bet answer came from Curt Schilling. He said, “Isis.”

    • ….ANY effort to try to promote and elect Trump……ANY effort at all,
      helps guarantee Hillary Rodham Clinton will be the next President of the United States.

      Trumps shadow is filled with many things, you got that right too, BP. (Like his plan to transform America’s healthcare system into “single-payer healthcare.” This is how screwed up you are Balloonpilot. You are promoting a socialism candidate.

  5. Why did the completely corrupt and biased cnn not ask the candidates about isis and owebama’s failed economy? Clinton will look like a stick going thru a wood chipper when she debates real Americans.
