Title: The Good Ol' Days Post by: Howey on April 14, 2015, 10:14:04 am Remember the hilarity (http://talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/why-the-gop-primary-debates-are-must-see-tv) that was the 2012 GOP debates? I can't wait for the next round! Who do you think will implode first? My money's on Cruz.
Quote Is there anyone in the 2016 casting buzz who can match the extraordinary, surrealist political entertainment talents of Herman Cain—let alone his tragicomic rise and fall? I doubt it. This is a man whose fame came from his previous life as a pizza magnate, who quoted the Pokémon Movie in his campaign, who became a frontrunner on the strength of a goofy tax plan with a goofier name, and then evaporated in a cloud of rumors of marital infidelity. Sure, some of the old standbys will be there. Trump is reprising his flirty will-he-won't-he routine, and Giuliani is doing double duty by adding a whiff of John Sununu's culture war conspiracy theories to the mayor’s usual tough-guy shtick. But these guys are character actors, bit players who can't carry much more than a news cycle, let alone a whole season.And what about Newt Gingrich? The political entertainment legend has signaled that his tenure on the show may finally be coming to an end. While self-absorption is something of a casting requirement in the series, Gingrich blended narcissism with a certain scorn for the process that is simply irreplaceable.

I suspect their plan to decrease stupid comments may end up increasing them. How's tPF?

I think they call it damage control. Title: Re: The Good Ol' Days Post by: paddymcdougall on April 15, 2015, 05:55:55 pm I suspect their plan to decrease stupid comments may end up increasing them. How's tPF? I'm running into more obnoxious posters; suppose that was bound to happen as I posted more. Matty is annoying. But we'll see what happens. it's no JPP, thank goodness I need you back there!

What y'all are reading is BS, especially from Chris. Title: Re: The Good Ol' Days Post by: ekg on April 16, 2015, 09:37:08 am My money's on Cruz. nah, I"m going to with Rand. He's already proving he can't take being asked questions if they come from women.. I mean, if he can't get thru an interview with Savannah Guthrie for Christ sake an "Andrea Mitchel" type will eat him alive.. |
