Fiorina did great and most Republicans know the GOPe in Congress is impotent. Which is why the non-politician candidates are doing so good.


Think we knew already GOP were do~nothings / know nothings, didn't we? Even with majority in both houses, mentioned this back @end of last elections. The other 800lb gorilla is Dubya's admin completely derailing this country, he doesn't get out much?

As for Cruz, he's one of the good guys. We need them all to be fighters like him.

Cruz is a hysterical, demonizing, fear mongering fool, does he get a secret bonus from someone for the act he puts on? Yes, Iran deal just one of many complicated situations we have to face, we can also take out Iran if necessary, but let them blow their money at a time when oil dollars are low, track it, if they don't comply next pres can bang their heads.

The trouble with such jingoism & fear mongering, these old establishment political tactics gets us into multi trillion dollar wars that ad nothing to our security.

Stephen Colbert Shuts Down Ted Cruz Over Ronald Reagan Legacy , pointed out that Reagan
famously supported both an amnesty program for immigrants and raising taxes
motherjones.com

Now if Reagan only had a coherent ME policy, which he didn't....


The Texas senator's Reagan fandom was tested during an appearance on the
"Late Show" last night, when host Stephen Colbert pointed out that Reagan
famously supported both an amnesty program for immigrants and raising taxes—two
policies Cruz has vehemently railed against throughout his own campaign for
president.

"Reagan raised taxes," Colbert said. "Reagan actually had an amnesty program
for illegal immigrants. Neither of those things would allow Reagan to be
nominated today. So to what level can you truly emulate Ronald Reagan?"

"Could you agree with Reagan on those two things?" he asked.

Cruz was then forced to admit that no, contrary to his previously uncritical
adulation of Reagan, he wouldn't be able to endorse two of Reagan's major
positions.

How brazen is Carly Fiorina's falsehood about Planned Parenthood? She lost my vote on this.

Even Fox tried to get the Republican presidential candidate to acknowledge reality. It didn't go well, though.



Caught in a fib, Fiorina refuses to acknowledge misstep
In a way, this is a test. How would Carly Fiorina defend a lie? What would her defense tell us about her readiness for national office?
