  1. I find Cruz gives the best and most thoughtful and factual answers.
    Rubio seems all style and no substance
    The Donald is funny, but lacks substance as well.
    The others seem irrelevant.

  4. Chelsea and Moanica are about the same age … yeah ? Perhaps they could discuss cigar preferences …

  7. Ditto!! Here.
    We have tried the honourable states man with sound economic strategy and slow creep to the right tactics….did not do so well. O’Leary while a buffoon in my opinion would gladly hit back. Harper was just to darn nice,kind,mature,proper, integral, and down to earth . History will be very kind to Mr.Harper.
    Time to drop the gloves and roll up the sleeves.

  8. I thought Cruz used humour very well in getting his point across. Trump as usual said what he wanted to say, no matter the question (and people say he’s not a master politician?), Dr Carson did surprisingly well imho, even as he chided the moderators for putting him to sleep with disuse. Christie and Bush did well but are both irrelevant. Rubio is the real politician in the bunch, but no way this guy has the fortitude to credibly stand up to Hillary. Cruz is starting to convince me he can but, as opined by others on this blog, I agree America needs a wartime president right now, and Trump is more that than any of the others. I think he can smooth his rough edges, and let’s face it, who is actually prepared for the job of POTUS. He seems genuinely inquisitive and doesn’t have a record of rashness. Anyway, I can’t even begin to imagine what a mess Hillary would make of the security file, especially given her new goal of 25,000 unscreened young male refugees from Syria.
    Trump can take New York in the big show, and with the weird winner take all electoral college electing the POTUS, that could be decisive. Think of Fiorina as VP to get them California. I know, nice thought.
    I know this is still the undercard but I found the debate enjoyable with decent questions with better answers, with no shoutdowns as in our own, comparatively boring versions in the last federal selection, instead witnessing what I like to term the cabin boy performance. Too bad his song sheet was blank, except for his free style policy lyrics. I much prefer debates of substance.

  9. I appreciated Trump saying that his financial fortune was nothing to him in comparison to rebuilding US greatness. What a contrast to some who see the presidency as a means to personal wealth and power.

  10. Add cringe-worthy to it and that’s precisely the vibe I get from watching Coyne and his fellow narrow-minded snots on the Nat.

  12. Regarding Kevin O’Leary, I refuse to vote for anyone who appeared regularly on a CBC television show.

  14. True Coyne is embarrassing, but then he is a Toronto liberal who helped ruin the National Post and supported Justin.
    In other words a man of poor judgment.

  15. Cruz – trump draw.
    Rubio didn’t hurt himself. Nor did Christie. Those two have questionable ground games however – particularly Christie.
    Gotta say trump as POTUS is less bizzare a concept with every passing day. And the real interesting thing is maybe – just maybe because the polling is so sketchy – he can win NY and NJ and perhaps PA which turns the whole electoral college calculus on its head.

  17. That was a sweet take down! Coyne is such a pompous ass… he’ll probably cry himself to sleep tonight wearing his custom made Trudeau pajamas, a onesie of course.

  19. I am not sure I would vote for Trump but he is saying what needs to be said during this election.

  20. I’m not sure I’d entirely like Trump for President of the U.S.A. but if I had a vote there I’d vote for him against any other Democrat candidate.

  21. I was an early Trump supporter on the basis of hearing my head loop energetically and unabashedly vocalized. A very rare experience for me!
    Exciting: His comments about the US paying for all this shit, and not, say, Saudi Arabia and other Arab states. About being suckers. Stoopid suckers. Etc.
    Bingo.
    But I can’t shake the feeling that as POTUS he’ll pull a Ryan.
    I correctly and adamantly opined that were the Repubs to capture both houses Obamacare would be untouched.
    Like that.

  23. “Yes Andrew Coyne has become embarrassing and unbelievable.”
    Canadian politics already tend to be a yawnfest but his fixation lately with electoral reform is becoming increasingly tedious.

  24. O’Leary?
    here’s a suggestion to Mr Dragon’s Den.
    perchance you achieve and wish to keep high office, don’t start firing the ombudspersons and whistleblowers like former PMSH.

  25. This is where Trudeau is getting his information about FPTP.
    The fact that a majority government can be formed with less than a plurality of votes is a meaningless statistical fluke.
    In the last election, many seats both east and west, were won with a plurality of votes. The east voted Liberal and made the result; end of story.

  26. Some features them deserved to be fired. Being a Liberal appointee should not be considered a job for life. Manning the civil service deserved to be fired as well. Harper was gracious enough to let them keep their jobs. For that, he was stabbed in the back.

    (Those autocorrect features drive me batty.)

  29. I agree with your observation regarding Coynes increasing tediousness when it comes to selling the Trudeau declaration to change the voting system. I understand Coyne feels the need to continue selling everything PM imbecile is selling but Coyne should really give it a rest. If the “Liberal” Party want to unilaterally change the way the country has always conducted elections then the “Liberal” party will do the same thing they’ve done in the past and simply change whatever the hell they want to change, to benefit themselves of course. Coyne knows his “Liberal” party buddies have unilaterally changed the way the country is governed in the past and now they’ll change the countries historic way of voting too, no need for Coyne to flap his flippers and bark in order to sell it, its a done deal. Referendum? Pish… that is not how the “Liberal” party’s Oligarchical State works.
