I am watching the Debate and haven't seen anything amazing about Marco tonight. He can't even win his own state. 

LMAO at Carson: "Can someone attack me"?…..LOL….he is being ignored once again….

BTW…Wolf Blitzer who I can't stand cause he thinks his mouth don't stink is a horrible moderator….he can't control this debate….it is awful.

I agree. I find Ted Cruz to be unlikeable and very untrustworthy. I don't find him to be the least sincere. I think that he is the worst person left on the Republican side.

I literally laughed at loud after he said that. He really is being ignored, the moderators skipped over him regarding multiple questions. I have forgotten he was in this debate half the time it has been going on.

CNN is talking about how great he attacked Trump. I find that laughable. Cruz wasn't that great either yet CNN is clamoring he did well.

 

Cruz to Trump: You're losing in the polls to Hillary. You can't even beat her.

Trump to Cruz: Well I am beating you badly so you sure don't have a chance if I am losing to her…..LOL

Oh they're in bliss. Breathlessly quoting Glenn Beck (oh that liberal media), saying he gave the best debate performance of anyone this whole campaign season (which is like giving a prize to the man who only kicks himself in the ass 599 times instead of 600), and dredging up Rocky clips (the ideal for the middle-aged pasties who make up the Beltway) to prove their point.

 

If he still doesn't improve any in the race after tonight, we're going to see grown men weep. I'm not kidding.

It's not about Rubio and it hasn't been for awhile. He's not the concern. They're desperate to prop up Rubio because they (and the Republican establishment) cannot conceive of facing the admittedly horrific possibility of Trump taking the nomination. Rubio is not a superstar and I promise you absolutely everyone knows that now, no matter what they pretend on TV - he's just the last clear chance.

 

Trump has to be stopped and I think he will be either in a general election or here, but I feel absolutely zero sympathy for the GOP and the conservative end of our media, who fanned the flames of the most ignorant bigots in our country and enabled the disgusting Tea Party movement until they engulfed the entire party and made something like Trump possible. They should have seen it coming.

 

And for the record, if you have a perfect storm of Trump and the Supreme Court on the table, we will very possibly take back the Senate. The GOP knows it will be a bloodbath. That's another reason they're trying to stop him. If Trump is the candidate the fallout for the GOP could possibly fracture them for a generation.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
