[Hoot Gibson]

The first debate was a joke. I mean, TheRealThing and others have seen my posts that I'm still 50/50 on him as a candidate. But that entire first debate was practically a setup again him. From the question about whether or not he would run as an independent to a couple of the questions Megyn Kelly asked, it was definitely biased.

With that being said, I'm not sure what Trump's plan is for this but I hate to say, he always seems to be one step ahead of everybody no matter what the situation is.
Cruz has a real opportunity here tonight though. I hope he finds a way to make the most of it.

I also thought that Trump got a raw deal when I watched the first debate. However, after watching Trump since then, I now believe that the first question in that debate was a very fair one. The demeanor of a president is important.

A presidential candidate whose first instinct to respond to criticism is to call his critics morons, idiots, losers, jerks, etc. in an endless series of 140 character tweets, is really not ready for the job. It is hard to believe that a man who mocked a handicapped reporter and never apologized for doing so is still in the race.

I have always believed that people get the government that they deserve. If Trump becomes president, then I will conclude that we have been a bad, bad country. Two terms of Obama followed by at least fours years of Donald Trump would be some serious punishment.
