The post debate on Fox is all about assassinating Trump.

They made him. They can destroy him.

Gotta pump the Bush/Huckabee train. Of course those conservative campfires won't support Paul or Trump. Fox is playing to their audience.

And, because I didn't watch it, so I don't really know how it went, what were you hoping for? This is a genuine question. |

I was optimistic for better questions and more balance. I was hoping they would let more of the candidates answer the questions. They kept bouncing between topics. However, I'm not shocked at what happened. I am not a fan of Kelly or Wallace. It was bad coverage all around. Sent from my iPhone using U2 Interference |

2016 US Presidential Election Pt. II
Quote:
The questions were poorly distributed. That was a big problem. Christie should not have been on the stage. I would have rather heard questions about how they would have handled the situations in Baltimore and Ferguson and Healthcare. They briefly touched on those issues, but hardly. Too many unimportant and stupid questions. Sent from my iPhone using U2 Interference |

I'm not a big Fox fan. Never have been. I like O' Reilly's show and Fox Business is good. Baier and Greta are pretty solid as well. But I am not a fan of Kelly, Hannity, etc. It's just that there's not much alternative out there. MSNBC, CNN, ABC, etc are awful. The media in general is bad.

Have you tried NPR or PBS? I find the news to be much more comprehensive when it's not obsessed with ratings.

Tell me more about this Huckabee person. How is it that someone so phenomenally stupid can be up there and some people take it seriously

He's the former governor of Arkansas and a former preacher/pastor type. He was considered a strong social conservative but somewhat reasonable in 2008 when he was seen as the conservative option to McCain. Since Obama, he's swung much, much further to the right attempting to capture the hearts and wallets of an older, religious part of the conservative base. Recently published a book called "God, Grits and Guns" (something like that). He's in it for the money. He's not stupid, he just plays that on TV. He's an effective communicator and is skilled at these debate things where he's really just selling his brand. He does not expect to be the nominee. |

Who chose the questions? The Fox News hosts? Could it be that healthcare was purposefully avoided so no Republican would have to admit they have no alternative to the ACA? It could be that the question writers didn't want to (further) embarrass the candidates. These are real questions, not my usual smarmy ones. |

2016 US Presidential Election Pt. II
Quote:
No. I don't think anything fishy happened to get Christie on the board, it's just that he should've been in the early debate. He has no chance of winning. Kasich is low on the polls too, but he has a lot higher ceiling to gain in the polls. He's a legit candidate and has been great in Ohio. I believe the hosts chose the question. I think they avoided healthcare because it's a boring topic to many. They wanted to keep focused on topics that will keep viewership up. Iran, Abortion, etc. Don't get me wrong, they're important topics, but they should've touched some other important topics as well. Sent from my iPhone using U2 Interference |

1. The figures are not adjusted for purchasing power parity. India may only spend $38 Billion a year, but $38 Billion in India buys a lot more than it does in the United States or United Kingdom. 2. Actual raw military capability is far more important than what is actually spent. How large is your military force and what can it actually accomplish regardless of spending levels? Example, the United Kingdom may outspend India according to the chart figures at normal exchange rates, but the Indian military is probably the more capable of the two: India Spending per year: $38 Billion manpower - 1,325,000 tanks - 4,200 Surface Combatant Ships - 23 Submarines - 16 combat aircraft -665 United Kingdom Spending per year: $59 Billion manpower - 178,000 tanks - 325 Surface Combatant Ships - 25 Submarines - 11 combat aircraft - 199 So although India spends less than the United Kingdom, the size of its forces in several areas are much larger than the UK. Plus India does have large numbers of modern weapons purchased from Russia. So the above spending chart really does not tell you much at all. The only thing that matters is the actual size and capabilities of the forces that you do have and raw spending levels are not going to tell you that. |
