Debate predictions.

Do you think Trump will gain support because of his debate performance?  Or do you think his performance in the debate will hurt him?
Do you think one of the other candidates will out wrastle Trump in the debate?  And if so,  which one,  and why?

And remember, the one thing that distinguishes this debate from Wrastlemania, is in "real" wrastlin the winner is always pre-determined.
But that's not the case with political wrastlin. At least we hope not. lol

I hope he rassles u

I'm an old drunk with two types of cancer. I would hope that any of them could out wrastle me. If not then they need to get out of the wrastlin business. lol

Plus,  if I was in this wrastlin ring,  I imagine one of the other wrastlers would have uncovered the fact that I used the "n" word at some time in my past.
And you know what that does to the career of a wrastler.  Even a great one.  lol

Here's my prediction for the debate. I think everyone is anticipating that this is going to be an every man for himself free-for-all to take down Hulk Hogan er I mean Donald Trump.

But that all changed because of Obama's comments yesterday. Obama did the dumbest thing any politician could have ever done.
On the eve of this debate, he spewed out some stuff that will shift the whole focus of the debate away from the wrastlin free-for-all, and shift it onto HIM.

So, yes, each wrastler will be trying to throw the others out of the ring for sure, but now that will take a backseat to all the Obama bashing.
I cannot fathom why Obama was stupid enough to make this happen.
But that's why wrastlin is so fascinating.

There's also that latest development in the world of wrastlin. That one really mystifies me.

We're now learning that when Bill Clinton had a meeting with Trump in May, Clinton encouraged Trump to take a more prominent position in the Republican Party.

Who knows what kind of wrastlin script-writin that reveals. Did Clinton think if he could encourage Trump to do this that it would help his wife Hillary's election prospects because he thought Trump would cause the republicans to implode?
Did he sincerely want Trump to get more involved for the good of the country?
Who the fuck knows. This wrastlin shit is so contrived that it's impossible to know.

Clinton was a great debater, just maybe Trump met with him for some pointer's or better yet Trump said to Clinton, "If I do not get the nomination and my hatred runs deep with the other candidates I will throw my support behind your lovely wife Hillary". Of course for a price.

I think they will all gang up on Trump tonight.

Trump probably will not get the nomination, but he's saying things that no other candidate will say and stirring the pot. One woman I work with who stands behind the democrats 100% loves Trump and although she would like to see Hillary as Pres she has said if there is any chance he gets the nomination she will definitely vote for him because he calls it like it is.

Thanks, Bubba.

I had the grandkids for lunch a couple of days ago and we watched Rugrats in Paris. Here is the theme song for that movie and now the official song for the Republican debates:

My expectations for tonight’s Republican debate:

Donald Trump will say dumb things loudly.

Jeb Bush will say dumb things in a garbled way and then try to retract them.

Scott Walker will mention Ronald Reagan at least twice, and attack unions.

Mike Huckabee will attack liberals and Obama, and talk about God.

Marco Rubio will talk about the American Dream and try not to drink from the glass of water on his podium.

Ben Carson will say progressive taxation is socialism.

Ted Cruz will say climate change isn't happening and then praise Donald Trump, which will be the two dumbest moment in tonight’s debate.

Rand Paul will attack the NSA and the Iran nuclear deal, and try to sound more intelligent than he is.

Chris Christie will try not to talk about the George Washington Bridge or Hurricane Sandy or anything else.

- Robert Reich

I expect it to be fairly boring.  I may or may not watch it.

If you ask me they should have cut Huckabee, Rubio, Christie, Carson, and Kasich out of the debate

There will really only be 2 candidates on the stage: Bush and Trump/Cruz/Paul (who are splitting the same demographic in the polls, if one drops their support will go to one of the other two, if two drop their support will go to the third. I expect it to be Cruz in the end.)
As to Scott Walker, I really don't see him garnering anymore support than he's already got ... he's just not likeable enough.

Listed below are rules for the GOP debate drinking game. Please do not drink yourself or anyone else to death. The game can be played without Jagermeister, but it's not recommended.

Drink THE FIRST TIME:

1. Donald Trump mentions his wealth, or how smart he is.

2. A candidate mentions Benghazi

3. A candidate says, "This president..."

4. A candidate whines about not getting called on enough.

5. Someone promises to "take America back."

6. Trump interrupts someone by saying, "Excuse me, let me answer that…"

7. Anyone mentions Hitler, Nazis or Neville Chamberlain. Includes related imagery, e.g. "ovens."

8. The crowd cheers a racist/bigoted statement by a candidate.

9. A candidate mentions his poor/hardscrabble upbringing, or a parent who "worked every day of his life."

10. A candidate talks about "stopping Hillary Clinton."

11. Anyone warns the U.S. is becoming Greece.

12. Trump refers to himself in the third person.

13. Anyone invokes St. Ronald Reagan.

Drink EVERY time a candidate:

14. Claims a positive relationship with a minority. Also known as the, "Some of my best friends are…" rule.

15. Tries to speak Spanish

16. Tries to warm up to the Ohio crowd with an awkward LeBron shout-out.

Drink EVERY TIME you hear the word(s):

17. "I'm not a scientist."

18. "You can keep your doctor."

19. "ACORN."

20. "The war on Christians."

21. "Thug."

22. "Right here in Ohio."

23. "Culture of dependency."

TAKE A SHOT OF JAGER AT ANY MENTION OF:

24. "Kenya."

25. "All Lives Matter."

Well crap polecat if I wanted to hear your list I would just come here to see 2 well known from pace and tally. I guess I don't have to watch it. Not to mention I'd be passed out 20 minute's into it if I drank everytime.

I'll be passed out by the time "the happy hour debate" ends. So wake me in the morning and tell me how the main event went.

"Doobies and gobstoppers"

"Things that Bob will consume tonight before passing out during the GOP debate"

I can tell you one thing. If Ed McMahon was still alive I could drink him under the table. I've spilled more Canadian Mist than everything he drank all put together.

"Yes. A quality whiskey, sir."

boards of FL wrote:"Yes.  A quality whiskey, sir."

Well it's like this. Crown is my favorite liquour. But Mist is a close second.
BUT, for me the difference in Crown and Mist is about 12%.
While the difference in price between Crown and Mist is about 70%.

It's all about bang for buck, young bds. If you ever learn anything from me, that's the one thing to learn. Don't be taken in by the "I only want the best" (meaning the most expensive) crowd because they're all around us and they'll brainwash you. Listen to Bob on this one.

"I prefer Seagrams VO and doobies, sir." - Ed McMahon

p.s.  at some point in your life you'll hear them telling you "the more expensive the liquour is the less hangover you'll have".

I actually bought into that one.  And trust me,  the price of the liquor DOES NOT correspond to the degree of hangover.

Well with one exception.  Don't go to the bottom shelf for the "Royal Deluxe" or the "Black Velvet" canadian whiskey.  That rot gut poison will give you a hangover after one drink before it rots your stomach.  And it tastes like the outflow from the sewage treatment plant with brown food coloring added to it.
There's no way that shit is made in Canada. Probably in Chumuckla.
