I hate to make that blanket assumption, but I have no clue how else he's managing to get away with all this unless his supporters just aren't paying attention...or there are just a lot of bad people out there, regardless of education level, who are bigoted and nasty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2477762 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 18:49:01 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2477762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: yeah he did say he "would condemn" any organization that he researched and found to be of that thought but wtf, he should know better. And from what I hear he has made comments about them in the past so is he claiming to have forgotten or what? I don't inderstand how people are just ignoring all his missteps, from calling John McCain a loser to this. i just don't get it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2477760 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 18:45:04 +0000 Applesandbananas 2477760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: I know. I'm just so flabbergasted. Every single thing that comes out about Trump is worse than the last, now he's refusing to condemn the KKK?! And people are okay with that?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2477756 Sun, 28 Feb 2016 18:40:08 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2477756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: idk. :crying: I can't vote for a D.

I need to turn off the news. They're talking about how Trump may sweep Super Tuesday and essentially be unstoppable. It makes me sick.

There is a time and a place for certain behaviors, and Trump's speech and behavior has not been at all presidential. When you are POTUS, you have to be able to deal with other dignitaries and represent our country with grace and dignity. He has not figured that out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2476966 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 12:11:43 +0000 Tidybee 2476966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Trump's campaign is genius. What better way to steal the news coverage from Rubio's few successful jabs at him than to get a huge endorsement from someone who made a mockery of Rubio. The timing couldn't have been better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2476959 Sat, 27 Feb 2016 11:56:34 +0000 MrsSCB 2476959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Applesandbananas: right?!

Yes, I found myself nodding along to some of his comments at the debate (moreso than Rubio or Cruz). But at the end of the day he isn't a decent person. And that's why I could never vote for him. I didn't agree with a lot of George W Bush's policies, but I still thought he was a decent person. </p> <p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/02/26/max-lucado-trump-doesnt-pass-the-decency-test/" rel="nofollow">https://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2016/02/26/max-lucado-trump-doesnt-pass-the-decency-test/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2476207 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 13:07:19 +0000 Applesandbananas 2476207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Christie just proved what we all knew about him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2476205 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 13:03:59 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2476205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Christie endorses Trump.

That is his new position. People wear many hats and communicate differently to suit their audience. After Iowa Trump learned he needed to behave differently to get votes and he adapted. His dismissive and offensive rhetoric is working for him right now, but it if it wasn't as a smart businessman he would have changed his tone to be more appealing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2476141 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 12:23:13 +0000 Mrs D 2476141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As for how Trump comes across - and some of the things that fly out of his mouth with regard to calling people stupid and what not. (Not some of the ridiculous things...like the period comment about Megan Kelly from months ago)....</p> <p>Am I the only one not surprised that a man in his power talks like that? I sit in our board room meetings often (I work at a $20B automotive supplier)...I hear crap said like this all the time from our CEO. I guess his directness just does not surprise me or even offend me half of the time. I look at some of what he says and am like "ya he just comes from a place where there isnt time to beat around the bush, play politics and sugar coat it..." - just like his catch phrase "you're fired"...it just doesnt surprise me as a business man. And to be honest I dont find it that offensive. (Not saying at all some things out of his mouth arent offensive...I just find it funny some people harp on his loose language as if they are truly surprised someone in his position would talk that way...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2476135 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 12:18:50 +0000 Mrs D 2476135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Question with regard to the PP comments made.</p> <p>Have any of the candidates ever talked about separating the services PP offers? DH and I were discussing this last night...strip the abortion services into a separate entity with separate oversight.</p> <p>Although I am conservative, I am pretty much pro-choice. It just seems it would remove so much of the controversy. Leave the non-abortion services part to function as is...then you arent risking affecting all the services I dont think there is much argument about being good for women. Sorry I know its a bit off topic...just something that came up last night as we watched pieces of the debate... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2476122 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 12:09:01 +0000 mrsjd 2476122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kasich is the only one I could convince my self to vote for (I'm not though my mind is made up). However, he doesn't have a shot in hell. The rest were just cringeworthy. Trump is a nightmare and just says things he thinks people want to hear. He lacks authenticity to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2476114 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 12:02:02 +0000 HLK208 2476114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The constant yelling was embarrassing. There were a few times I agreed with Kasich and even Trump (cringe - but I appreciate his stance on pp). But I'm still a Bernie fan :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2476060 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 11:37:01 +0000 catomd00 2476060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: haha me too. My husband looked at each other at one point and were like are we actually agreeing with this clown?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2476058 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 11:36:12 +0000 Pirouette 2476058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I agree the way Rubio, Trump and Cruz fought like school girls was pretty ridiculous...and not at all presidential.</p> <p>but I also 100% agree with @coopsmama: that trump didn't do that poorly and when he wasn't engaged in childish banter with rubio, actually made some good points. I find Rubio more and more childish as well. Trump seemed to be starting to move toward the general election by appealing to a broader base than he has in the past.</p> <p>I thought Kasich did a great job and is so consistent with his message, which I like. That said, he gets so little airtime and I don't think he really improved his numbers with the performance. I think he's running for president at the wrong time, because much of the base has moved so far to the right of him that his working together approach rings hollow. It did often feel that he was the only adult in the room though, moderators included! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2476040 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 11:25:23 +0000 lawbee11 2476040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This pretty much sums it up: </p> [attach=1395/16/o35xmb.468x260.GOP.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2475993 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 11:01:23 +0000 MrsSCB 2475993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree about Rubio vs. Trump -- finally someone is going on the offensive against Trump. I didn't watch the entire debate, but at least in the beginning, my H and I were commenting that it's like Trump doesn't actually SAY anything. Rubio and Cruz would at least try to talk about policy. Then in response, Trump ignored everything they said and any questions and just goes, "make America great! Build a wall! Everyone loves me the best! I'm a businessman!" and never really says much of substance. It's all non-sequiturs and canned responses and then everyone cheers. Kind of baffling... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2475990 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 11:00:21 +0000 avivoca 2475990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: @ShootingStar: About PP...I agree with you ladies. I don't agree with abortion but I do think women deserve the right to have a safe one if they choose. PP does so much more. Because of PP, I was able to have a pap done free of charge that found irregular cells on my cervix, and I was able to have all of my follow-ups free of charge. I didn't have insurance, so this was a blessing. I was able to get my BC pills for free too. I'll always support it because it's so much more than abortions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-on-gop-debate#post-2475984 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 10:56:24 +0000 ShootingStar 2475984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coopsmama: I don't agree with abortion personally either (though I think it's an important right for society), but PP does so much more than just that. And the fact is, abortion is legal. To defund a public service because they do something perfectly LEGAL is crazy to me. Yeah, let's shut planned parenthood down and either have more unwanted pregnancies and more women on public assistance, or more abortions. Great plan Republicans :bummed: . </p>
