It's the ongoing "Who Are These Guys - and Gals!?" hosted by CNBC. Also, lets go Mets in the Series, and we have Thunder-Spurs for people who like that sort of thing. Gosh, this will be a real ratings race.

Thanks, TM. I knew you'd come through.
All I had was a stupid joke that went something like...Boulder, Colorado: Higher than most other locations on any presidential debate schedule, and we're not just talking about elevation.
Groan.

Youngest granddaughter just iformed me she and her sister are for Bernie Sanders.
There's the result of media, educational system, and peer pressure.

Sweet rainbow on my commute home. Actually it was at least a triple rainbow at its peak - stretching horizon to horizon. I couldn't get a pic til I got to a red light. It had started to fade by then.

Hey that's my alma mater! Is the debate at CU?
When I went to school there I took time off to get instate status and my tuition was $400 a year.

They are now discussing that the venue was picked so the CNBC crew could "score some good bud."
Posted by: Threadkiller | October 28, 2015 at 08:04 PM
I am trying to be attentive to the debate, but given the hosting network and the moderator, don't know if I can hang in there through the whole thing.

Biggest weakness? Shit could we just ask them if they were a tree, or what kind of animal they would be?

Huckabee is very good at getting his message out with the question.

Licky-lips gives a canned answer.

Rubio should have joked about his thirst for freedom leaving him parched.
Posted by: Jeff Dobbs | October 28, 2015 at 08:20 PM
Trump answers honestly.

Trump actually answered it as honestly as anyone probably could.

a bit more on those leaked CMP videos -
via The Radiance Foundation ~ “We thought, ‘We’ll give it [the dead baby] to everybody in a gift bag, they can take it home and figure out what to do with it. It’s their pregnancy and why is this our problem?’ She drew roars of laughter for her “gift bag” idea from the crowd listening and also elicited howls for a sarcastic plot to burn the aborted babies in a “bonfire” in the woods.--These were the words of a Michigan abortionist in a leaked #CenterForMedicalProgress video talking about what to do with all of their "backlogged" aborted baby remains."

No bias.

Jane,
I thought Trump's answer was good, too.
Posted by: Miss Marple 2 | October 28, 2015 at 08:28 PM
Is that the moderator being the enforcer of Krugmanistic economics?
Posted by: henry | October 28, 2015 at 08:28 PM
The female moderator is actually debating Carson.
She's made herself part of the debate.
Posted by: Jeff Dobbs | October 28, 2015 at 08:28 PM
I just want to thank Reince for this debate. SUCH a good decision.
Posted by: Miss Marple 2 | October 28, 2015 at 08:28 PM
Give Harwood the hook and I don't even like Trump.
And this asshole woman is arguing with Carson. She is not a moderator but an asshole.
Kasich is desperate.

Kasich is going to get an out-sized amount of time here (compared to his polling) . . . because he telegraphed that he's gonna go hard after Trump and Carson.
Posted by: Jeff Dobbs | October 28, 2015 at 08:31 PM
Is Kasich foaming at the mouth?

Ha, Trump goes after Kasich, who was a managing general partner at Lehman Brothers!
Go Trump!

Another debate, another lyle boycott. Thanks for pitching in, everyone. Oh, and yer on notice, Ex. "Señor Yeb" is racist according to a certain box that posts here from time to time. I might have responded a bit impolitely when the box called me out on this same locution.

This is a total goat rodeo ---the socalled moderators can't.
