2016 Election

Honestly, I'm kind of a history buff and I didn't remember off the top of my head that they had been representatives. I knew there were, but I wouldn't have even thought to call him out for it.

It's just funny that he would make that up, especially on twitter where he has time to look it up (as opposed to on a debate stage).

Thomas Jefferson was elected to Virginia House of Burgesses in 1769.

John Adams was elected to Massachusetts Assembly in 1770.

Samuel Adams was elected to Massachusetts Assembly in 1765.

John Hancock was elected to the Boston Assembly in 1766.

Benjamin Harrison was elected to Virginia House of Burgesses, 1764.

I could go on and on. Ben Carson might be a neurosurgeon but he also doesn't know American History. If he had done a simple Google search he would have found this out.

Looks like Christie and Huckabee were chopped off the stage for the Fox Business debate on Tuesday.

Huckabee may have been chopped off the stage, but I think Christie fell through it.

This Is the Face of a Freshly Minted Democratic Socialist

By the way this is how you capture the youth vote... Bernie throwing out haymakers

Carson is on a roll, LOL

Ask him how to pronounce corpsman. Ask him if he knows there aren't 57 states.

LOL at that kids reaction.

Obama probably thinks that he built the stage. The Clintons are probably trying to find a way to screw somebody out of it. Bernie wants to get you to pay for the stage. O'Malley will probably try to tax it or confiscate it, and Chafee probably doesn't realize it's a stage. Webb got smart and got off it.

Ben Carson: Egyptian pyramids were grain stores, not pharaohs' tombs

Wow. It seems the candidates, on both sides of the aisle, are trying to one up each other with their stupidity.

Our politics are flat-out embarrassing.

Those are speaking gaffes, not made up lies.

Our politics have become all about tv ratings.

This 100%.

If TV existed over the course of American history half of the greatest leaders we've had wouldn't get elected based on looks alone. Call it the Kim Kardashian factor.

Interesting, that describes all the Democratic candidates. Hillary must have Savant Syndrome 2.0

 

[theFallGuy]

substance seems to matter less, it's all about appearance in this social media self obsessed fake @ss culture. That's why a guy can run saying things like "Hope" and "Change", then actually accomplish none of that and get elected again. No substance, just use fancy buzz words that make people feel good

A better attempt at deflection could have revolved around "at least BC shows brilliance in one area". To date, HRC hasn't demonstrated expertise in any area.

You missed a golden opportunity.

Lots of truth here.

On a positive note....he hasn't gone to all 57 states yet

Looks like sewage is stopped up, flew right over his lid.

Evan though I'm sure no one here wants to hear it, Hillary could be what the country needs.
