I'm a bit surprised by the whole tone of the debates. Guess that I really didn't have an idea of what to expect.
The popularity of Donald Trump is another surprise. Really?
If I wanted to see a bunch of blowhards talk about shit they don't have the faintest clue about, I'd just come on here.

Trying to. Had to go pour a drink during the debate for the leftovers.Yeah. Having a drink would have been a good compliment to the entertainment value of the debates. This is a bit of what I thought. We have a LOT of serious issues and the debates were almost like a "show" with Trump being the center of attention.
Even though a lot of serious issues, it's simply hard for me to take it seriously, as it's literally a war of who can present the better sound byte for news broadcasts. They all have good script writers, and I can just see that. Originally Posted by Unique_Carpenter

THE FACTS: Actually, the U.S. Air Force was created in 1947. Created initially as the Aeronautical Division of the U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1907, the force went through a number of iterations before becoming a full-fledged branch of the military equal to the Army and the Navy in the wake of World War II.
A dearth of reliable public data makes it difficult to examine Carson's broader argument that the military's capacity is smaller now than in 1940. But it's true that the number of U.S. military aircraft has diminished in recent decades. (AP)
.... Overall, I thought it was ridiculous spectacle.Those are good words. A ridiculous spectacle.
I also thought the only ones out of the lot that came across as serious and actually ready to talk in some specifics rather than slogans were Rubio and Walker. I thought Walker won it. Rubio needs to slow down and not talk so fast. Obviously way early but I think a Walker/Rubio ticket would be formidable. Young, energetic, Rubio would have a lot of appeal to the Hispanic voters. I think any GOP ticket with Trump at the top is doomed. And, I just don't think Jeb's heart is in it. He looked pretty unhappy up there.
