There's been some discussion that the heads of Fox don't want Trump, so they made sure the opening question would make him look bad. And now on Fox the focus group has people saying they liked Trump before but not now because of his response that he wouldn't rule out an independent run.

Oh the sweet hypocracy of these guys who stereotype belivievers in Islam talking about how their Christian faith guides them.

Trickle down economics, the great mistake. Look at Kansas for an example of how it doesn't work.

I wouldn't vote for any of them, but Kasich is the only one I would be relatively comfortable with. Bush is too apologetic and waffles on his positions, while the rest are too extreme.

It's not, it's regressive for those with less income who would pay a higher percentage of their money for everyday goods, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

[That's racist.

The sad truth is that in primaries, the voters like red meat. And Clinton bashing is a sure way to appease the right. The post debate polls show Fiorina won the early debate, and she called Clinton a liar multilple times without specifics. She knew what would excite the base.

These Fox moderators are not very professional, especially Meygn Kelly. They're acting like its a pep rally instead of taking it serious.

Turned on the early bird debate and was suprised that the number of people in the audience was like a girls high school basketball game; friends and family only. I expected the Repubs to try to get people in there. I almost felt sorry for the tier two candidates.

There is no one person who can unite the country anymore. The best we can hope for is someone who could get a majority of support, like 60%. The best thing that could happen would be if all congressional districts were redistricted so there was a smaller percentage of difference between registered Democrats and Republicans, which would lead to moderate representatives from either party getting elected to Congress, which would result in more compromise. But that won't happen.

Fioina's facelift is too distracting. I'd like to see Trump instead. How long could he go before insulting her, and could Hillary resist pulling his hair out.

I once caught a Sunfish at summer camp using a bamboo pole and a piece of bread. Huck Finn old school style.

Donald Trump says he'd tap Sarah Palin... http://www.politico.com/story/2015/07/donald-trump-2016-sarah-palin-cabinet-post-120747.html?ml=po

I found Black's openness and interaction with the fans a refreshing change from the usual management types. I'm afraid we'll just get corporate-speak from Brandon. Too bad they couldn't have moved Black into a public relations role, but that would have been a step down. At least we still have GMTM. Hopefully Brandon doesn't bother him.

I hope this doesn't result in the Sabres signing a deal to play some home games in Toronto so they get to watch professional hockey.

I guess cup holders over the urinals wasn't enough to save him.

We live in an ADD society. It's all about ratings. If a newscast spent their time going through all the details of the Iran deal, most viewers would switch channels to see what Trump said next. Sad but true.

He's relevant because he leads all other Republicans in the polls by double their percentages. The media has to take him seriously because the Republicans are. The Republican establishment is now facing the consequences of when Trump gave voice to the Birther movement and they didn't confront him. Now they're reaping what they sowed.

It's not mandatory that the conferences be equal in number. Before San Jose, there were 21 teams with the extra in the east. Las Vegas could join on its own, leaving Quebec open for a franchise move. If they wanted another team for the west quickly, put a second team in Toronto and share the ACC until a second arena is built.

I've maintained that anyone who wants to own a gun should be allowed to, as long as it's a weapon that was available when the 2nd amendment became law.

Your logic. If you educated yourself on the details of the agreement you would know that's not true.

I don't want the stench of any former Leafs like Franson polluting the team with mediocracy.

Based on some of their right wing views, there's plenty of people who would like the U.S. run like a theocracy.

I'm sure many here have driven with a buzz on when in our youth, which we wouldn't do now. You felt like you had enough control to get home so you didn't bother with finding a ride and figuring out how to get your car back. It doesn't matter how much money you had.

He'll probably claim he knew he needed some coffee, foot slipped on brake. He panicked, drove off but then realized his mistake, pulled over and parked, and walked away. He planned on going back in later in the day to pay for the damage. Reasonable doubt, and he'll end up buying the store.
