perry keeps hitting this "I'm the optimistic candidate" thing, which is sort of like reading your subtext (Message: I care), and also not where I am emotionally.

He just knows he tanked in 2011/2012 by sounding dumb in a debate, so I thought he'd have practiced extra hard not to sound dumb. Posted by: mynewhandle at August 06, 2015 05:04 PM (AkOaV) 30

I'm not planning a liveblog. I do not see how a liveblog is any different than comments, except that it moves so quickly that I can't follow it at all.
I have been sour on that particular technology for years. I just don't see how it's different than comments, except in bad ways. Plus, then I have to get a coblogger to pump out your comments from the queue to the liveblog. There's human work needed there that is not needed in the comments.

the other thing with the liveblog is that it's pretty clear everyone is just quickly dashing off reactions, and no one is reading anyone else's.
with comments, they go by slowly, and you can pick and choose who you want to read. Posted by: Paolo the Wifebanger at August 06, 2015 05:05 PM (dciA+) 43

I forgot who was in the lineup for this one, but I have to think its only purpose is to demonstrate to the participants that they cannot win.
I would say it's designed to humiliate them, but I'm not sure people who run for President (especially when they have 0% chance of winning) are capable of humiliation. Posted by: BurtTC at August 06, 2015 05:13 PM (TOk1P) 142

Honestly I don't know why they didn't go with an American Idol style format. Put all the candidates in a sound proof room, bring them out one at a time, ask a couple of prepared questions and a couple of questions from the audience.
Then have a phone in vote tally. Posted by: Ken at August 06, 2015 05:14 PM (LXJ1e) 152
All Texan and Midwestern candidates should practice saying, "doesn't," and "wouldn't". They should realize people in the rest of the country don't use "dudn't" and "wudn't."
Those words are associated with "dumb." Perry could raise his perceived IQ by ten points right off the bat if he dumped those words for formal occasions. Posted by: maria at August 06, 2015 05:14 PM (z8jsH) 153

I really think Fiorina entered the race because she actually is an establishment lapdog. They decided that if them men went after Hillary it would be WarOnWomen! So they get her to run. Bankroll her a little bit and tell her if she does good going off on Clinton and endorses the party choice when she drops out they'll give her a nice position possibly even the VP slot.

*** I thought so, then I thought some more, now I think otherwise. Those in the Top 1 tier will either sink, float, or swim through a steady stream of bullshit tonight. The 2nd tier candidates, if they do well, have an opportunity to really shine against low expectations. They will rise in stature and replace the sinking Top 10 flops without every having to face the worst of them. l also expect there will be more substance in this debate than in the next, which is full of bullshitters.

Posted by: Where's The Whiskey at August 06, 2015 05:16 PM (AqygU) "Levant" is not a better translation. That's the French word for the greater Damascus area. Which isn't really accurate for where ISIS is. Al Sham is the name of the Assyrian providence that includes much of ISIS territory. so "islamic state of Iraq and al Sham" is more accurate and historically correct then "iraq and the levant", which again was a colonial french division by geography.

Republican officials are expecting more than 3,000 attendees for the main event, making it perhaps the largest crowd ever hosted for a GOP primary debate. But the undercard debate won't have quite the same energy. That's because there won't be an audience at all. In a situation akin to the Baltimore Orioles playing a game earlier this year in front of an empty stadium, the seven candidates will find themselves delivering talking points to a hollow auditorium that seats more than 20,000 people. GOP sources say each candidate will be allowed to have a small handful of family, friends and campaign staffers present. They will be allowed to sit in the grouping of several thousand folding chairs on the floor of Quicken Loans Arena, but will be asked to refrain from applause. Not that a smattering of claps inside this cavernous arena will do anything to sway the television audience at home. (Tim Alberta) Man, welcome to being the opening act.

Following the early debate, Fiorina will be serving as her own spokeman in the spin room where media are gathered over laptops. It's a sharply different tactic than some of the others expected to debate later in the evening. Already, Ted Cruz announced that a dozen of his aides and allies will flood the spin room, including campaign manager Jeff Roe, campaign chairman Chad Sweet and prominent conservative endorser Brent Bozell, founder of ForAmerica.

And, as I said at the time, in person, he looks really good: youthful, fit, great posture. Posted by: Niedermeyer's Dead Horse at August 06, 2015 05:26 PM (PMlgt) 249

It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. -cs lewis Posted by: mynewhandle at August 06, 2015 05:33 PM (AkOaV) 311

I'm still loving Carly (came in predisposed to like her from what I've learned of her this last month) and she didn't disappoint. Perry has a long way to go to get back into my good graces (he was my number 1 pick early on in 2012). Posted by: Dancing Queen at August 06, 2015 06:11 PM (nJvB1) 674

Sometimes I like Lindsay. It is a pity I don't trust him. Right now my likes are Carly and Jindal on this stage. I still like Perry but think anyone running last time is out.

"Lindsey: 'Ill be Ronald Reagan if I can find my Tip Oneil'"
Oh gawd. That's the whole theme of the latest book from Tingles Matthews: how awesome it was that Reagan and O'Neill "worked together for the good of the country". The reality is that Democrats recall that era fondly because O'Neill routinely rolled Reagan in negotiations. On TEFRA, amnesty and a dozen other key issues.

there really should be exactly that mechanism Posted by: Paolo Who's All Up In Sua Esposa at August 06, 2015 06:17 PM (dciA+) I see it as the floor dropping out from under Huck and Kasich, and Fiorina and Jindal jogging on stage in Hero costumes, capes waving, fists up!

Summation:
Perry did do anywhere near as badly as the haters are claiming. He is still my #1 pick. Fiorina came across as a Washington insider, and GOP wannabe. I still don't get all the horde love, but I don't have any hate. Jindal has real potential, and I like him a lot. He will be a big player in the near future.

Republican candidates were each asked about how they would describe Hillary Clinton in two words. Few of them actually did that. Here's how they responded instead: Former New York Gov. George Pataki (R): "Divisive with no vision." Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R): "Good at email." Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina): "Not the change we need at the time we need it." Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R): "Socialist and government dependent." Kids table. Posted by: Laurie David's Cervix at August 06, 2015 06:34 PM (kdS6q) 869

I totally understand that. But, my point is....he didn't talk about what he DID. He didn't talk about how he reacted or what he did to keep calm. He just said he was in office when 9/11 happened.

I heard Fiorina attacked Trump, I had hoped she was above that. He is the only guy resonating with people. Sheesh again. She attacked him for previously holding liberal views. Well, gollygeewillickers! A lot of people become more conservative as they age. Reagan. Perry himself. Mitt Romney. No one called these people out for having once been Dems!

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) seemed to forget during Thursday's second-tier GOP debate for the presidential nomination that he served 15 years as governor. "It just needs a corporate executive type at the top that's done it before. And I will suggest to you nobody's done it like Rick Perry has done it over the last eight years," Perry said. Perry made this gaffe during his closing statement. He was governor from 2000 to 2015. TPM Sorry folks, but that's the coverage.

Maybe I can't fight city hall, but I also can't enable it. I voted for McCain ( Palin really) and I voted for Romney, but I refuse to compromise my values again. Actually, almost anybody in this lower tier debate would be easier to vote for than Jeb or Hillary, and IMO, almost anybody from this lower tier debate would be way closer to representing what I want in a president. Between Jeb and Hillary you would be hard pressed to say who was the lesser of the 2 evils. And as Jerry Garcia said, voting for the lesser of 2 evils is a vote for evil anyway.
