Wrong. I have plenty of friends who agree with many views of the GOP but are turned off by their bible thumping image. As a result they vote democrat. The funny part is most democrats have the same religious background as republicans, but they know better and keep it out of their job.

+1 it's time for them to realize that and move on especially with more and more millennials being able to vote.

no it wont. THe "middle voters" ages 18-25 arent going to the polls at all. Electorate will drop millions. Most of them are the social voters

The easiest topics to understand are the social issues. The economy is complicated and not everyone understands. What are these people going to use to decide on their vote something they understand or something they don't. The media also plays up these issues because more people will watch what they understand

18-25 year olds went to the polls in the last election. It's the cool thing to do now. Old thinking like this hurts the GOP and your falling in line with it

I think some of you people are too worried about what the media wants you to be worried about.

Lol no. I'm basing it off what people my age say about the GOP. It's reality, sorry to burst your bubble.

BTW two people gave answers that if they win will be used against them in commercials

1. Walker not supporting abortion if women lives are in danger
2. Huckabee saying the purpose of the Army is to break things and kill people

A lot of people are getting butt hurt over huckabees comment. So many PC crybabies in this country. They can't handle harsh reality. With that being said, I doubt either win the primary.

I didn't watch this but people were saying good things about her. Definitely hope she is on the main stage in the next debate.

If kasich gets more face time I think people will realize he is the best candidate.
Kasich looked good and was probably the only sane one on the stage. Trump looked like the idiot he is. He may be a great businessman but he is an asshole.

Impressed with Ted Cruz.

Poor Ben Carson didn't get to talk for nearly an hour.

I like Rand but he looks and acts like a weasel.

Trump is a dick. Hopefully he bows out after this.
America does not need a Bush or a Clinton ...... it getting old
