2016 Presidential Primaries [ SUPER TUESDAY | 3-1-'16]

[weso1]

do you mean as in My Pet Goat nervous ?

No, G-Dub never gave off the appearance of nervous. Aloof? yes... but nervous? No. He handled the 9/11 aftermath about as well as we could have hoped. After the initial reaction if up for legit debate.

[57Brave]

the book he buried his nose in when receiving the news of the planes was up side down.

It is generally acknowledged My Pet Goat was not one of Bush43's shining moments
.....

Nervous, nah not George
.....

I would be more than happy to talk about the administration of Bush43 as much as anyone would like
Perhaps we could start with ENRON then that tricky Aug 2001 briefing with Condi

Generally acknowledged by the usual suspects. Always seemed like an incredibly petty critique.

I thought Rubio needed to look strong after he flubbed last week and I thought he did. Took slings and arrows and looked strong. Cruz did as well. He was strong on his convictions. Jeb! had I thought his best night. He really went after Trump and got him flustered at times. Kasich didn't do much to inspire me tonight. Carson was the grown up on the stage, but his demeanor is going to continue to hold him back, which I hate because I like him a lot.

Donald Trump continues to show me why he cannot win the nomination. This was him at his worst tonight. He was completely unhinged. Yelling at the other candidates, insulting others, and interrupting more than anyone else. There were also several times when I didn't hear an answer. He talks about building a wall, bringing jobs, fixing social security, but I don't hear HOW he will do it. Unfortunately, his supporters, led by Ann Coulter, will continue to tell everyone how great he is and how those who disagree are wrong.

[57Brave]

Perhaps we start with ENRON or maybe go back to the SC Primary and his claims about McCain's daughter.
Yeah, let's start there

just another petty critique I know but you know, GWB is considered ...

Y'all might not want to talk about his accomplishments/ Just sayin'

Curious what they hear that so inspires them

I'd like to know the same thing. Boggles my mind.

I have a question for any Floridians or Jeb! aficionados. Is his demeanor during this debate (and most of the others) par for the course? I know he has a reputation for being a little more of a wonky backroom guy, but I thought he seemed really nervous and bumbly at times. He handled Trump about as well as he could, though.

Perhaps you would like to talk about Bill Ayers or Rev Wright now . i don't know - but there was this.
Maybe tomorrow you can lecture meon the values of Bush43 in his handling of McCains adopted daughter.
I am looking forward.
But there was this.
Feel free to read the link - it might be as you say the unsual suspects but, you choose.
Read cheerleaders or hold your hands over your ears yellingg la-la-la and read what happened. Like n real life

GREG PALAST: Well, yeah. I mean, you heard the traders saying that Ken Lay, being number one donor, was going to become Secretary of State. That’s not what Lay wanted. Lay had a bigger wish list.

AMY GOODMAN: Secretary of Energy.

GREG PALAST: Excuse me, Secretary of Energy. He wanted to name the electricity cops, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, so Ken Lay secretly gave Dick Cheney a list of three names. Now, you have to understand, Al Capone used to have to buy off the cops. Here’s Ken Lay trying to get them appointed. He said, "Here’s three good choices for chairman of the commission that’s supposed to regulate me." Right? That he already knew that he was being asked for the $9 billion back, right?

-
Anyway, George Bush gave him a real extraordinary Christmas gift. He appointed all three guys to the Energy Commission. So Lay appoints his own regulators, and he did this before in Texas, when George, when George Bush was Governor of Texas, when George Bush says he didn’t know Ken Lay, and I’ve got a letter in Armed Madhouse showing a note from Ken Lay saying, "Here’s the guy I want to be my regulator, the cop that’s supposed to be watching me," and sure enough, Governor George Bush appoints Ken Lay’s personal cop

oh, this story gets better

Stay classy, Don

57, what in the world are you talking about?

[57Brave]

"petty critiques"

[BedellBrave]

Like critiquing Bush for not going berserk in front of children, rather taking time to mentally/emotionally digest what he just heard?

[57Brave]

"excuse me, I have tend to something"

2 days ago "you guys" pilloried HRC for not disavowing something she didnt say.
Even going so far as to give Monday morning advise on what she should have said. To a hypothetical

Yet, you can not find advise on how to handle a room full of Kindergartners ?
See the 2 minute mark

[BedellBrave]

Like I said. Critique him for all manner of other things: that's fine. But this is just one of those stupid things that over-the-top partisans do.

[57Brave]

we disagree.

He was given multiple opportunities to thwart the attack. In the end he was left reading a dumb kids book - then couldn't figure out how to get away to Air Force One

Kinda like blaming the kicker for losing a football game in the last second.
....

Let's get back to talking about Hillary's clothes

[BedellBrave]

Imagine that.

Colonel Mustard with a revolver in the Billiard Room.

I think we could have found a middle ground between sitting there and doing nothing when told the country is under attack and your example of going berserk


Just maybe
