Re: The ten GOP candidates that made the cut for first GOP debate
I am pretty much in agreement with Doc on his first two choices. I do wish Carly Fiorina & Rick Perry had made the first cut though.
I do not, however, have much hope that much meaningful dialogue will happen with Trump on the stage. I think this may turn into a bloodbath once some of the candidates start attacking Trump. JMO.MOLON LABE!

Kasich would get my vote today, but there is a lot for me to learn about all of them.

Disappointed Fiona didn't make the cut.
Going to be interesting with a 10 person debate. I find more than 2 distracting, this ought to be quite a show.People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.
