I had purchased&#160; a dozen PIGnocchio brand, big mouth, extra-wide, extra-chunky barf bags for the occasion, and they were insufficient to the task.&#160; I knew these Republicans were vile, but who would have thought that they could motivate me to produce barf in excess of my own body weight.&#160; Only the debate itself was a bigger mess.&#160; Humor aside, I did watch the spectacle, took notes, and have a report for you.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">There were actually two debates.&#160; To be truthful, I overslept and missed a few minutes of the bottom group, but it became immediately apparent to me that the Republican Reichsministry of Propaganda, <em>Faux Noise<\/em>, was intentionally trying to crucify this group, based on camera angles, audio and video quality, and insults from the moderators.&#160; I\u2019m not the only one who thought so.&#160; <a href=\"http:\/\/on.msnbc.com\/1Dy5Bo5\" target=\"_blank\">Rachel Maddow<\/a> did too.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"500\" src=\"http:\/\/player.theplatform.com\/p\/7wvmTC\/MSNBCEmbeddedOffSite?guid=n_maddow_edebate_150806\" width=\"635\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">In the main debate there were no winners.&#160; Here are my notes:<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><strong>Donald \u201cHairball\u201d Trump<\/strong>:       <br \/>He refused to promise to support the Republican nominee and not to run as a third party candidature.&#160;&#160; On immigration, he proposed a wall and said border patrol officers were his proof that the Mexican government is sending criminals here.&#160; He would repeal and replace the ACA with insurance company deregulation.&#160; He said he is pro life and would defund Planned Parenthood.&#160; He admitted to misogynist tweets.&#160; He called Obama incompetent.&#160; He said the Iran deal is a disgrace.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><strong>Jeb \u201cStrike Three\u201d Bush<\/strong>:       <br \/>On undocumented immigrants, he supported a path to legal status, but not citizenship.&#160; He stated that ISIS [his brother\u2019s creation], would not exist if Obama had not abandoned Iraq [on his brother&#8217;s timetable].&#160; He favored state control of education and vouchers.&#160; He promised 4% growth by getting rid of Obamacare and cutting taxes.&#160; He supported defunding Planned Parenthood.&#160; He denied calling Hairball a buffoon.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><strong>Scott \u201cFartfuhrer\u201d Walker<\/strong>:       <br \/>He demanded banning abortion with no exception to save the life of the mother.&#160; He supported no amnesty of any kind for undocumented immigrants.&#160; Hew promised to attack ISIS.&#160; He said failed to meet his economic promised because had aimed high.&#160; He would introduce tougher sanctions against Iran and have our international partners do the same.&#160; On racial disparity, he would provide better training to law enforcement on the use of force.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><strong>Marco \u201cDeport Them All\u201d Rubio<\/strong>:       <br \/>He supported a wall to keep undocumented immigrants out and no amnesty of any kind.&#160; He supports state control of education.&#160; He would help small businesses by lowering taxes, repealing Obamacare, and repealing Dodd Frank.&#160; He supports \u201cpersonhood\u201d.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><strong>Mike \u201cUpchuck Huck\u201d Huckabee<\/strong>:       <br \/><\/font><font color=\"#0000ff\">He supported \u201cpersonhood\u201d.&#160; He supported state control of education.&#160; He would save social security and the economy with the FAIR Tax.&#160; He would cancel the Iran agreement.&#160; He would not allow transgender people in the military.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><strong>Ben \u201cUncle Token\u201d Carson<\/strong>:       <br \/>He said we should keep harsh interrogation methods [torture] secret.&#160; He suggested a tithe tax.&#160; He said Hillary counts on useful idiots.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><strong>Rand \u201cIdiot, Son of Idiot, Named after Idiot\u201d Paul<\/strong>:       <br \/>He attacked Hairball.&#160; He said NSA should spy on terrorists only.&#160; He supports allowing discrimination against gay people.&#160; He said he would cut foreign aid.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><strong>Ted \u201cUranus Inspector\u201d Cruz<\/strong>:       <br \/>He said he would repeal all of Obama\u2019s executive orders, defund sanctuary cities and allow no amnesty if any kind for undocumented immigrants.&#160; He would destroy ISIS by calling it \u201cRadical Islamic Terrorism\u201d.&#160; He would stand-up against Russia and China for committing cyber war.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><strong>Chris \u201cPIGnocchio\u201d Christie<\/strong>:       <br \/><\/font><font color=\"#0000ff\">He supports no amnesty of any kind for undocumented immigrants.&#160; He supports NSA spying al all Americans.&#160; He would raise the retirement age.&#160; He would restore the military to cold war levels.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><strong>John \u201cKKK\u201d Kasich<\/strong>:       <br \/>He supports the wall to keep undocumented immigrants out.&#160; He would defeat Hillary by promising to balance the budget.&#160; He opposed same sex marriage, but he accepts the courts ruling and would love his own gay child.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">All promised obeisance to Republican Supply-Side Jesus (the opposite of the real Jesus).<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">On the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, it was not even mentioned.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"0807MegynKelly\" style=\"border-left-width: 0px;

However the debate may have a serious impact on the rest of the campaign season.&#160; Faux Noise employs a bunch of blondes, who usually display lots of leg and cleavage to keep Bubba Bagger titillated just enough to keep his TV tuned to <em>Faux Noise<\/em>.&#160; Without the blondes&#160; Bubba would surely turn to NASCAR, Better Outhouses and Gardens, or Ga Ga for Guns.&#160; Well, one of the <em>Faux Noise<\/em> blondes, Megyn Kelly, attacked Hairball over his misogynist tweets, and he responded by threatening her.&#160; OOPS!&#160; I have seen this woman in action enough times to know that she has a vicious streak a mile wide, so I would be very surprised if Hairball does not occupy the top of her feces list for a long time.&#160; Now if the rest of Faux Noise goes along with her and tries to sabotage Hairball, he could be in trouble, as a Republican.<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">In conclusion, the very best thing about the Criminal Clowns Debate is this.&#160;
