    totally disagree. Carson had multiple chances to punish Trump (including the aforementioned "vaccine" question), yet seemed to have some rapport with him (the weird bro-shake at one point)...I could see the two of them playing off of each other.

    This silly post is proof that you don't read the entire thread. That bitch ain't going to win shit. I said she won on that particular issue. Not won the debate. Now the fact that she had an actual plan on most things like what she would do by not meeting with Putin etc is the reason why she won the debate. Talking about my requirement for president? She doesn't meet any of those requirements. She is not a viable candidate and she would never garner my vote. So please read the previous posts and you may have some perspective.

    Russia building a military base in Syria is sticking a thumb in Obama's eye. Deliberate bullying of him.

    You asked, you got the answer.

    Russia is just one of many nations who bully us under Obama/Clinton/Kerry.

    Sorry you don't like the answer, but it is what it is. But you asked.

    He wasn't terrible, but he certainly didn't dominate the airtime like he did in the first debate. He didn't do much to distinguish himself either. He was mostly the target of ridicule by the rest of the candidates and had to defend himself against his boorish behavior.

    Can you explain how that qualifies as "bullying"?

    Republican party is dying? I don't see that.

    They run most of the state governments and the house and senate. In fact, I think I read recently that the republicans have more people in the house and senate than any time since the 1920s.

    Russia annexed crimea and has turned the Ukraine into a war zone that they'll eventually absorb as well.

    I don't see how that is anything but bullying. Unless you think we wanted to let them do these things.

    So, someone doing something you don't want them to do qualifies as bullying?

    Stop bullying me by responding to this thread.

    So there's no such thing as bullying to you?

    I think Russia is building a base in Syria, and that's not something Obama or the US wants. It is bullying by your own definition.

    Russia simply doing things we disagree with does not, in fact, meet "my" (dictionary) definition. As Sly indicated, and as the definition I posted states, bullying involves forcing another to do something that they themselves do not want to do.

    In what manner has Russia used superior strength or influence to force the US to do something they don't want to do?

    They took our lunch money by force.

    What more do you need?

    I assume you're being metaphorical. Be literal--I'm dense. What did they actually take from us? It's not as though Crimea was a US territory.

    Again, how is Russia building a military base in Syria bullying the USA? Do you think we should be building military bases in Syria?

    Crimea and the Ukraine were going to join NATO.

    Not only did Russia bully us, they bullied our allies.

    It's not like we're doing a thing to stop the bullying. They're building a base in Syria now and we won't stop them because we fear their strength.
