25 million watched the first Republican debate. The second Republican debate got 24 million. Watch what the next Democratic debate gets.

I don't believe the ratings for any of the debates

Ratings could all be BS any way. Who knows how many people REALLY watch a program?

Nah, Bernie's got this one in the long run. Hillary will play it tough like she did against Obama in 2008, but inevitably she'll lose again.

you really think sanders has a chance? I see why he is popular but this is the Clinton machine he is up against .

Imo Obama would like to leave the Clinton machine dead he knows what a strangle hold they held on the party he only just beat it because enough people were willing to defect to his cause to keep Hillary out .

I wouldn't be surprised what happens here on out, VP running even Hillary indicted and sent to gtmo but sanders surviving long enough to be nominated would be shocking.

Is Bernie any relation to the KFC Colonel? He could use the money for campaigning. :twisted:

I hear Bob Dole just endorsed Jeb! Bush. That should help rally the youth vote ;)

Dole has more energy than Jeb maybe he should run again. (had no idea he was still alive.)

Jeb Bush is not going to get out because he still believes he should be president and that eventually he'll be the last man standing when Trump and Carson finally peak (Like McCain and Romney). But It will be Rubio and Cruz that will take the lead if that happens. I'm not convinced the sideshow will be over by the time the primaries come.

Trump may take enough votes to win the nomination and pick Rubio or Cruz as vp. It's crazy enough to happen. Not sure I'd want Trump as Commander and Chief, I didn't want Obama or Bush either.

BTW was it just me or was Cruz less annoying than usual? He's usually like a preacher, can I get a amen and a deportation! :) The clips I heard from the last debate he didn't sound like a total asshat

Strange how both parties have weird billionaires controlling them. Guess we should count Trump in this too although he described des to cut out the match dale man and control the country directly where the other billionaires buy and trade politicians like baseball cards.

but man, Medicare sucks. Nice idea but the way it works leaves a lot to be desired.

Finally gots me some obamacare. ;) Had to because my rates doubled and I couldn't afford it any more. Sad thing is the best coverage I could afford is silver and not as good as my old policy. The government would have been better off getting give me a subsidy for the old policy. Whatever. This crapcare law forcing me to buy insurance has done nothing but raise prices. Not that it's the governments fault the Heath care system and hospitals are out of control. Too much money in medicine now.

The reason I went with the policy I did was the deductibles and copay were the best I could get. Most plans have such a high deductible I couldn't afford to use them no matter what. Get sick go bankrupt. So I do like someone giving a d**n about it. But Medicare is just a f'd up as the rest of the healthcare system.

People who passed this law forcing all of us to by insurance must think $6k - 12k deductible is no big deal. Must be nice. Bet those d**n lousy politicians probably don't even bother washing dishes after dinner, they simply throw out the dirty dishes and silverware break out the new with breakfast. :roll:
