The money and base is just now starting to blossom on Trump. Like Salmo G, I think people underestimate the establishment. Attack ads, big money, and clumsy media influence (here is a great example: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/09/12/iowa-gop-women-trump/72183584/ )are about to prove Trump's next hurdles.

Cosby didn't watch because he was too busy pasting his "I'm Obsessed with Hillary!" bumper stickers on his "friends'" (a.k.a. unsuspecting WalMart shoppers') cars.

If Joe runs, I'd say that Hillary is in trouble and he knows it. If Joe just promised an extended Obama, he'd easily win. I still think Hillary comes out the winner, particularly against any on the GOP clown team.

Rand should have gone full anti-establishment and straight talk last night but he needed to dumb it down and say it louder for the average GOPer. He started to point out the blatant hypocrisy in the party. Things like always talking about "state rights" and "small govt" yet always doing it selectively, such as with drug laws.

The overwhelming thing that stood out was the CONTINUED fear-based pandering of nearly all the GOP candidates. The fight over who can spend more money on national defense and make a bigger fist is sickening, along with the deepthroat competition over Israel. Only some of them will even acknowledge their role in helping endorse a lot of what has exacerbated our problems. I think most of them actually acknowledged global climate change last night but plan on thinking much about it.
