    You're making up some arbitrary rule here.

    Nice try, but I'm not biting.

    So, you're saying that Russia doesn't have the right to be in Syria? According to whom?

    I'm not saying they have no right to be in Syria.

    I'm saying they're bullying the US by doing so.

    An observation about the debate.

    The republicans featured a black man, a woman, and two hispanics.

    Interesting for a party of racism and old white men.

    Good for them for very slowly coming into the 21st century. Their front-runner is still a white male who makes his money from Golf courses (old white male sport) and casinos (grandma and the bandit).

    Those "kind words" were done dripping with sarcasm.

    should we add that to the list of words/phrases/concepts you don't seem to understand? ;)

    Quick Takes:
    Rand Paul- Looks like a crazy loon that no one will listen to.
    Marco Rubio- A bit more on the ball although he talks too aggressively and is too young looking and not presidential.
    Jeb Bush- Boring, looks like a weak beta male.
    Ben Carson- Pretty steady but unelectable due to his passive demeanor.
    Ted Cruz- I can't take him seriously, he looks like a child molestor.
    Carly Fiorina- Looks like a crazy stuck up bitch War Monger. Something like an evil female villian in a movie.
    Mike Huckabee- Looks like a total loser.
    ????? Kasish- Seems too grass roots. Like he begs for permission to talk.
    Donald J. Trump- Doesn't sell the steak, sells the sizzle.
    Scott Walker- Boring as hell. Looks like he should be working in a home depot paint department.

    The guy right behind him in the polls and closing is the black man. The person who gained the most from the debate last night was the woman.

    The dump is Syria. The rats are the different groups killing each other there. You are Denny.

    You're the one comparing Syria to a school. I think a dump is a much more accurate description.

    Wrong... If you follow his Twitter, the sarcastic tweets he immediately said "this is sarcasm if you haven't noticed". After that tweet, there were bashing tweets immediately after. That was a genuine statement

    Nice fail

    Yale professor on Carly Fiorina's business record: She 'destroyed half the wealth of her investors yet still earned almost $100 million'

    Fiorina in an interview with CNBC ahead of the second Republican debate.

    "Donald Trump and I are in totally different businesses," said Fiorina. "He's in the entertainment business. And he's also in a privately held business. In the business I was in, we had to report our results publicly, as you well know, in excruciating detail, quarter after quarter after quarter."

    She added, "If you file for bankruptcy four times, I think it suggests either lack of judgment or lack of discipline."

    So far, no attacks on Trump have stuck. Maybe this one will stick. Maybe people will question Trump's business credentials.

    But Fiorina better be careful because her biggest business achievement, CEO of Hewlett-Packard, is widely regarded as a disaster.

    She has been frequently called out as one of the "worst" CEOs.

    In an article about worst CEOs in USA Today in 2005, Yale business Professor Jeffrey Sonnenfeld said that Fiorina was "the worst because of her ruthless attack on the essence of this great company. ... She destroyed half the wealth of her investors and yet still earned almost $100 million in total payments for this destructive reign of terror."

    Trump is quick-witted, and incisive. He is really good at delivering campaign-ending insults. Fiorina appears ready to serve Trump a softball if she's going to run on her business record.

    Stands by his 'worst CEO' comment today
    We reached out to Sonnenfeld, who is still at Yale — he's a senior associate dean — who told us he stands by his opinion.

    "Yes — I stand by what I said," he said. "The only things I would add are ... the board’s wisdom in her unanimous firing was vindicated by the fact that there has been no exoneration or contrition."

    Sonnenfeld also told us that, while Fiorina was at HP, "virtually everything she bought ... has been shuttered or divested." He pointed out — emphasis his — that "She has NEVER been offered another CEO position in the decade since."

    He also contends that she was asked to leave Taiwan Semiconductor's board in 2009 "as she only attended 17 percent of their board meetings" — something he has noted publicly before.

    Good breakdown. Bolded the two who were the most appealing to me overall.
