The Fox Business Channel's fourth Republican Presidential Debate was, without a doubt, the single ,greatest exhibition of journalistic skill, brains, and professionalism,in the History of American Politics.It was flawless,perfect in every way,both the early and the later segments.There were no self serving gotcha questions,no argument baiting,no cutting off of the candidates in mid sentence, no interjection of moderator opinions on the proceedings.No,there was only smart questions related to both economic and foreign policy issues, questions that, finally allowed the candidates to forget the sniping, for the most part, and focus on expressing their individual policy strategems. Again, this is how it should be,...how all the other debates should have been.
A true debate between a group of remarkably accomplished , conservative candidates, on the issues,..and the issues alone. Not on personality,not on personal attacks, not on biographies, but on the central reason we have these debates ;..to determine which candidate can best implement the conservative policies that are vital to the system of self government that is the foundation of our Republic.
The Fox Business Moderators , Neil Cavuto, Maria Bartiromo, and Gerard Baker,accomplished this , and did indeed create the template the standard,..that all future debates will, no doubt, be measured against.
And, this is the debate that finally forced the candidates to expose both their strengths and their glaring weaknesses as well, since the moderators gave each one more than ninety seconds to answer their questions and explain the nuances of their positions .Yes, for this debate , there would be no cutting off the candidates in mid sentence,no repeated warnings about their rapidly diminishing time, no mindless rush by the moderators to "move on" to the next topic.
No, all that remained was debate perfection;..the candidates arguing their political philosophies with each other in a healthy back and forth debate in the arena of ideas, with no interference from the moderators.
As Trump himself said,..."Elegant".But more than that, it was the greatest , single political debate yet devised by modern man. "Elegant",..indeed. And, pure perfection .Bravo Fox Business .And, it did accomplish what the other debates did not, by clearly revealing the strengths of all the remaining candidates , as well as their glaring weaknesses ;..
John Kasich, in particular,is now fully exposed, as a self hating Republican.He refuses to to entertain the notion of illegal deportation,..refuses to accept that Obamacare must be destroyed,..refuses to deny crony capitalist businesses and banks ,economy crippling government bailouts,..refuses to to accept America's responsibility as the Leader of the Free World ,..refuses to accept that America's military must never be restricted by any budget constraints,.and refuses to accept that tax grabbing entitlement programs for illegals and deadbeats must be cut, heavily. Kasich was revealed by Fox Business , to be far too moderate a Republican, on the issues that count most. Jeb Bush did better, because his awkward debate skills no longer mattered , since the this debate format gave him more time to formulate his answers. Simply put;..a better Bush performance ,..because of a better debate structure.
Donald Trump remained the same,..with the same old talking points ,..and seemed uncharacteristically quiet and subdued,perhaps because in a debate on specifics,..he simply had nothing to offer,..except what he's already said. Except on foreign policy , that is.The time schedule allowed Trump to expound on this issue , and that proved to be his undoing,..as it exposed him as an isolationist, who,.. like fellow Presidential Candidate Rand Paul,.. would prefer that Vladimir Putin fight ISIS ,Iran, and Syria,..and balks at the idea of spending too much on our military,when our nation's infrastructure is in dire need of more tax dollars. Hmmm,...sounds almost like the Democrat mantra on military spending .But then, we must remember that Trump is,..after all,..a lifelong Democrat,who spent eight years opposing the Iraq War ,opposing the Afghaistan War,... accusing President Bush of lying about Weapons of Mass Destruction ,..to instigate a war,..and calling for Bush's impeachment ,..repeatedly.And more recently,..Trump not only suggested letting Putin take the lead in the middle east conflicts ,..but he also has viciously attacked the American Freedom Defense Initiative's President Pamela Geller, calling her,"disgusting",..for "provoking" terrorists with her "Draw Prophet Muhammed" contest ,which was designed to oppose the evil of Sharia Law.
Not a good record for a potential Republican Commander in Chief.
Marco Rubio, on the other hand,..shone brightly,..his debate skills on full display, and his knowledge of Foreign Policy issues ,without peer. Trump and Rand Paul may be isolationists, but a President Rubio will certainly take the fight ,..to the enemy. A Rubio Presidency will spell doom for our terror enemies , to be sure.
Senator Rand Paul is ,unfortunately,..that isolationist who, although a good conservative on fiscal issues,..is simply too weak on foreign policy in general,..just like his Father. His suggestion to Rubio that any proposed increase in military spending smacks of liberalism,..is patently ridiculous. Our tax system main purpose, is to maintain our military superiority,..first and foremost, and all other entitlements must take a back seat .A pity that Senator Paul will never quite grasp that concept, or the fact that America can never withdraw from world affairs , since America leads the world ,and is the only force on earth that truly stands strong against evil.
Dr. Ben Carson had a good night , and has proved himself capable of withstanding the onslaught of the liberal press, who seek to cast doubts about his overall honesty .It didn't work.Carson responded correctly,by disproving each and every charge they threw at him .That's the secret.You don't ignore attacks by the left.That's a strategy for moderate ,losing Republicans.Conservatives attack back,..hard.That's the right strategy.That's how you win .Trump, if nothing else, has proven the effectiveness of this method.
Carly Fiorina , once again, gave a stellar performance,because she knows how to fight,and, more importantly, how to win.Did she interrupt the other candidates?Of course. But, it was effective , and moreover, it was encouraged by the Fox Business moderators who understood that the candidates themselves were effectively controlling their own debate with no need for interference.Would Fiorina beat Hillary?Most assuredly. She would destroy her, as would any of the candidates on that stage, for in the end,they are all basically conservatives, and all believe in the basic principles that make America work.
But, we are at war, with an enemy that seeks the destruction of America from within, as well as without, and Fiorina , like Trump, has not always been the stellar conservative she seems to be now.America cannot take the risk of electing her.Not now.The President of the United States is essentially the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. That is his primary function.
To lead our Military,...
And to protect America,..with that Military.
Yes, all the candidates proved themselves , in the most substantive debate yet, to be up to the task on a fiscal level , even the more questionable Trump and Kasich. But, we are at war, and the title they seek is Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States. And, thanks to the Fox Business Network ,we now know who is worthy, and who is not,..to hold the title.
Kasich, Paul, and Trump ,..cannot be,..can never be,..because they fail to understand that there can be no limit to the budget on military spending. America must always remain excessively superior to all other nations in military might, always overwhelming in our power,..because war,.. can never be a fair fight. America must always hold the overwhelming edge , enough to handle any two wars at the same time ,..with ease. Such is the burden of America,..who must lead the free world ,..or the free world ,..will simply cease to be. In this respect, there are only two choices , two men who should be seriously considered for the Office of the Presidency,..Cruz and Rubio.
Cruz is the perfect conservative fighting machine , who has proven that he understands the nature of war , and the role America must play in it .So too for Rubio, who, like Cruz, is a Master of Foreign Policy strategem, but it is Cruz alone,who understands the vital importance , not only of fighting terrorism aggressively, but also knows that our border must finally be sealed, and illegals ousted. Unlike Trump , Rubio , Bush , or Fiorina, who are all strong militarily, only Cruz combines an aggressive stance against terror with a never waivering stance against illegal immigrants and the Democrat entitlements that breed it.
Border security, a Strong Military, and an aggressive War on Terror.
Only Cruz has remained unwaivering on all these issues ,and thanks to the Fox Business Debate format, that fact was revealed , quite effectively, in this, the Fourth Republican Presidential Debate.
Senator Cruz made an excellent point,when he offered an apt analogy regarding illegal immigration;..would the liberal media be so unconcerned about its consequences, if they were taking the jobs of lawyers and liberal media journalists?As Cruz said,"If Republicans continue to adopt the Democrat policy of Amnesty,..they will lose in 2016". Has a greater truth ever been spoken?
Make no mistake, whoever the eventual Republican candidate is, one thing is certain;..the Republican Party must win in 2016, if this nation is to survive. And, in reality , any of these candidates, under normal circumstances,would make fine Presidents.But,..circumstances are not normal. We are at War,..with an enemy that wants to destroy us, for no other reason than we demand to live free, and refuse to subjugate our will to a false god, that calls for the death of all those who refuse to worship him.
The stakes are high.The beheadings ,burnings and crucifixions of Kurds Yazidis, Christians and Jews all across the Middle East, are merely prelude. ISIS wants us. We are the main target. We need more than just a good President,any one of them would indeed fill that role. But, that's not enough. We need a man whose record proves that he will be absolutely one hundred percent reliable in protecting America, both at home and abroad, and in restoring America's reputation as the greatest force for freedom and liberty to ever exist.
Senator Ted Cruz's record proves that he is that man, undoubtedly. Cruz would not bail out failing banks and businesses. He would let the free market work. Cruz would implement a flat tax that would eliminate the I.R.S., and restore our economy .Cruz would protect our Second Amendment rights. Cruz would repeal Obamacare and the Iran Nuke Deal, on day one, of his Presidency. Cruz will seal the border, deport illegals , and end the sanctuary cities and entitlement programs that burden our economy and endanger our citizens.
Cruz would strengthen our military , end the Democrat Union control of the Veterans Administration, and take the fight directly to ISIS.
How do I know?
Because Ted Cruz's record shows that he always backs up his words,..with action.
The Fourth Republican Presidential Debate was a Great One, and it clearly defined an outstanding group of conservative Republicans.Cruz is the man who should be our next President.Beyond a shadow of a doubt, that is what this debate proved.
Veterans Day has once again , come,..and gone. How should we honor those who give everything to insure our freedom?
Let's give them what they deserve.
A Commander in Chief who respects them, and will give them everything they need to carry out their mission. A Commander in Chief who will insure that all our Vets and their families, never need to worry about anything,..ever.
A Commander in Chief that will protect our borders and let these exceptional men and women unleash their skills upon an enemy that stands no chance against them.
A Commander in Chief that loves them as much as they love America.
Ted Cruz is that man.
"No Greater love hath a man, than to lay down his life for a friend".
Our Military lives by these words, ..
So that "We the People",... can live free.
"No Greater Love ,..than this,..indeed.
Time for America to end the reign of the Democrat Party , that has shown nothing but endless contempt and disdain for our military;...and replace it with the Party that understands one thing;..
Without their sacrifice,..there is no America.
Republican Victory, in 2016.
Can there be a greater gift , to give the finest Military on the face of the earth,.....than this?
