The worst possible time slot for viewership. Dems might as well have their debates at 0200hrs on Monday morning...

The entire platoon of idiots is sure people simply can't be paid a living wage if America is going to survive! May their remarks be hung around their respective necks going forward -- although, with the wealth of inanities and insanities to choose from, it's hard for any one atrocity to stand out. Meanwhile, I read somewhere yesterday -- need it to be confirmed -- that Carson is going to be a headliner at an ALEC event -- as if we needed further confirmation that he is a grifter trading on his supposed Christian-cred. Gag. I think the across-the-board refusal to raise minimum wage that came out of last night's exhibition is pretty significant.

At that point I said to myself "why not let Chris do it" and he you did so thanks. Looks like I didn't miss much. This morning, both Carson and Trump showed sharp dips at Betfair, nobody else moved much. The morning papers uniformly called it a stalemate. Maybe it's time to pull the plug on primary debates and just let the aspirants buy commercials...the pay to prattle approach.
