GOP Debate Threads

From a story NPR ran about Bernie Sanders:

Bernie Sanders' athletic strength in high school was in long distance running, according to his teammate Steve Slavin. As a sophomore at James Madison High School in the late 1950s, Sanders was racing with seniors — and winning.

Slavin also recalls Sanders as someone who didn't boast about his successes. Years after graduating, Slavin heard a story about one cross-country race in particular in which Sanders let the second-place runner take the lead, ignoring a tradition that the top two runners join hands at the end and cross the finish line together.

"But Bernie knew that this other guy had not ever won a race by himself," Slavin says. "So when they approached the finish line, the other guy reached out to take Bernie's hand and Bernie sort of nudged him across the finish line so that the other guy would finish first and Bernie would finish second, and it's a story that this guy has always remembered."

Can you imagine how this story would play at the GOP debates?

Carly Fiorina: "Bernie Sanders is in the business of picking winners and losers. When you're given a win, it always comes at a cost. I'm sure Mr. Sanders has called in many favors for that race win in his crony-based athletics club."

Donald Trump: "All I heard is that Sanders lost. America should be second in nothing."

Chris Christie: "Bernie Sanders clearly believes in leading from behind."

Mike Huckabee: "The only thing Bernie should be running from is his record."

Ben Carson: "What is a cross country race?"

Jeb Bush: "I had Sanders on my high school track fantasy team and that move cost me the title."

Or that he is very intelligent and just simply doesn't agree with you on issues.

Personally I am over the narrative of calling into question the intelligence of people on the other side of the political spectrum. That is what this sounds like.

For example, I think hillary is intelligent even though I am very against her as president.
 
If trustworthiness is your ultimate test for President, or any politician for that matter, you're kidding yourself.

There are plenty of people who are intelligent and disagree. I just think Ben Carson is a person who I don't agree with, in addition to being unintelligent.

Simple math is hard for him, and I don't want him bankrupting our country.

In the end, though, it is a moot point as he has 0 chance of winning a general election.

You're asking for trouble if you don't hold politicians responsible for their word. Will they let you down? Yes, many will, but simply expecting and accepting dishonesty is a very bad idea.

You'd rather have our country bankrupted by a genius like Obama? Have you taken a look at the debt he's racked up? It's mind boggling!
