The problem the repubs have with Trump,Walker, and the rest of the clown car is they ONLY pander to their base. They do absolutely nothing to attempt to get the vote of the independent voter, which is the true key to winning the presidency. This was true of the last election when Obama was,frankly speaking, vulnerable because of the bad economy.An independent voter who is latino will probably not vote for Trump, the same with someone who gets a pension will not vote with Walker.

Good gawd. That is desperate.

I think the Republicans have a problem (to put it mildly) not only with The Donald, but his unbelievable poll numbers. In what world does someone say the things he's said and he his poll numbers rise? What does that say about their base? What kind of people would support someone like that?

It is great to watch the trainwreck that is the Republican primaries.

The NYT has done some good journalism but that has mainly to do with their longform and series stories (Ebola, China's Rural to Urban movement, NYC's toxic nail salons and halfway houses) which most don't bother to read. Many of their shorter articles (1-3 pages) can often get the details wrong in their quest to court clicks.

I think in an effort to appear as though they are not being soft on Hilllary, they've gone too far and I'd be pissed if I were the Hillary campaign. The only reason why they've come forward is because people (other journalists/pundits) came forward and pointed it out on several Sunday news shows, which forced the editorial staff at NY Times to print what amounts to a de facto retraction.

If Clinton's camp is smart, they will use this to their advantage.

Yeah, that was pretty bad to read.  Yesterday a lot of Indian and Pakistani Americans were posting how embarrassed they are to have Jindal as part of the South Asian American/Desi community. 

Jindal just doesn't seem to know what he's doing.  He's managed the state's budget very poorly and because he wasted money from the state's coffers by squandering it on needless corporate tax breaks, so now he has to rob Peter to pay Paul to try to fill an enormous budget deficit that LA now has.  Everything about the way he's been going about things is wrong.

Rubio looked very confident tonight....Presidential.

Trump almost imploded tonight but I think he barely avoided a complete disaster and that's only cuz he had such funny one liners and quips. He even destroyed Megan Kelly which was hilarious.

Its clear Megan Kelly and the moderators were under instructions from Roger Ailes to take him out.

 

Jeb Bush was such a try hard....just awkward and stumbling at points. Like he had rehearsed so hard and yet was still fumbling. 

 

John Kasich and Marco Rubio are the biggest threats to Hillary Rodham Clinton. I hope her campaign is preparing for those two just in case....

    • Which officially started to feel that way today with them hearing each other out as they confronted each other at the same time.    Same. He was even catching himself when he was about to go overboard or do those tics that people don't seem to like. He failed a bit at the end, but he carried. It makes me think about a month back when it was discussed that the actor was better in other things he's been in. And I questioned then if that meant that he was playing Martin more intentionally. I questioned that briefly again today because he was giving. 
    • I really like the actress who plays Margo. Don't know  her name. I'm so hesitant to google anyone because I don't want to know the length they were on the show. I've watched two episodes and I have to say that the show does not feel as dated as other shows. I tried to watch Ryan's Hope a few weeks back and some of the acting was a bit rough. EON is a lot more natural which amuses me considering it's a mystery/thriller show.
    • She’s INCREDIBLE. I’m so glad you enjoyed this my friend.
    • I loved SOAP OPERA NOW because they  did detailed analysis of the ratings.
    • I love MKA and feel like they never used her to her full potential with India. The character seemed to exist merely to fight with Alex and blackmail men into marrying/sleeping with her. As if! Then adopting an orphan right out of Little Orphan Annie...somebody BTS didn't like her, I think.
    • I mean...Sarah Michelle Gellar did go on to be a household name and food guru. I can see Ambyr doing the same with the same talent.  Amen.
    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.
