Republican Debate on Fox Business

Status
Not open for further replies.
I think Santorum won however I don't know if it will boost him up to the varsity for the next debate in December.

Fox likes Santorum too so they are now interviewing him.

Jindal committed suicide with his 0% corporate tax rate. That is even more foolish than Huckabee's 0% rates for everybody and then switching to a national sales tax.

No it does not. Bur I agree that a more progressive rate with a few new levels would further improve the stimulation that taxing income not spent at a higher rate gives to our economy. It is consumer spending that drives our GDP growth not consumer socking money away in a hedge fund.

Utterly simplistic view of the economy. How does a ridiculously onerous, complicated, and burdensome tax code help the economy?
 
30 minutes until the varsity event.

I can't wait to see my 2 favorites there -- Trump and Fiorina.

I do hope they kiss and make up.

They are probably going to be on the GOP ticket together -- unless Santorum has a miracle.

Do you remember the question given to Christie about our stolen technology by China and he responded that it started with Hillary and Obama? He was wrong. It started with Bill Clinton. Do you remember the investigation of the Democrats in the 90's over accepting illegal contributions from the Chinese and at the time had been stealing our technology?

United States Department of Justice investigation into the fund-raising activities had uncovered evidence that agents of China sought to direct contributions from foreign sources to the Democratic National Committee before the 1996 presidential campaign. The journalists wrote that intelligence information had shown the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C. was used for coordinating contributions to the DNC in violation of United States law forbidding non-American citizens or non-permanent residents from giving monetary donations to United States politicians and political parties. A Republican investigator of the controversy stated the Chinese plan targeted both presidential and congressional U.S. elections, while Democratic Senators said the evidence showed the Chinese targeted only congressional elections. Well a lot came out during that time and many in the Democratic party were worried that if the FBI (domestic) and the CIA (foreign) could hook up it would be over for the Democrats in an election year. But along comes Jamie Gorelick Clintons Deputy Attorney General comes up with this memo that build a wall between the FBI and CIA from sharing information. That pretty much kept the truth from coming out and saved Clinton and his fellow Democrats' bacon. But it also kept the FBI and CIA from sharing information that would have thwarted 9/11. Because the CIA had 4 of the highjackers on their watch list that wasn't allowed to be shared with other agencies.

I won't discuss this in this venue.

Most of Christie's answers were all nonsense and mostly emotional.

Emotional arguments normally only ring true with unsophisticated viewers.

Maybe he is trying to be the next Trump.

I was watching Jim Rickards being interviewed on the current state of our economy, and lost track of the time. :shrug:

I've enjoyed watching Christie over the years because he enjoys calling BS when he hears it! :mrgreen: Whether that would be a good attribute for a POTUS - maybe not.

I'm looking forward to the main event; especially to see how Kasich does tonight. He's done a great job for Ohio, and we absolutely need Ohio for the electoral votes!

Tonight and December are Kasich's last chance.

Hopefully the mods will merge the threads.
 
Welders make more than philosophers. Great line by Rubio.
 
Eh my stream is going down way too often. I'll keep trying, but this may be one I miss.
