My Updated GOP Candidate Rankings (and then there were 5...)

As I've been doing throughout the primary season, I thought I'd update my GOP candidate rankings following their 10th debate. With Super Tuesday just around the corner, ten debates a thing of the past, and John Kasich and Ben Carson likely suspending their campaigns before too terribly long, this may be my last such update. My rankings haven't altered much in recent weeks, and unless something major occurs, chances are they won't be changing much in the future. If anyone's curious, my last such blog was posted on Valentine's Day at this link: http://thekind-heartedsmartaleck.blogspot.com/2016/02/my-updated-gop-candidate-rankings-down_14.html

5) Ted Cruz (up 1 spot): Cruz made two things clear last night: 1) If you've ever donated to a Democratic candidate, you're evil, and 2) It's better to let people die in the streets than to keep Obamacare. Oh, and he'll unite this country...

4) Marco Rubio (up 1 spot): Rubio walked a very fine line last night between having an incredibly effective debate performance ahead of Super Tuesday and appearing a bit desperate. It'll be interesting to see which way voters lean in four days. It was quite humorous to hear him tease Trump about repeating himself. Repetition should be this guy's middle name...

3) Ben Carson (up 1 spot): Between talking about fruit salad and a kumbaya moment during his closing comments, I have no idea what Ben Carson is talking about, nor what he's still doing in this race...

2) Donald Trump (up 1 spot): I hate to say it, but there were moments in last night's debate where I actually felt sorry for Donald Trump, and where I thought, "Wow, he really isn't the biggest a*shole on stage." Yes, the real reason why this will be my last such update is because, knowing John Kasich will be dropping out within 3 weeks (most likely), I never want anyone to see me ranking Trump #1...

1) John Kasich (no change): Once again he appeared to be the lone sane candidate on stage, once again he was given minimal time to talk, and once again we were reminded he has no chance at winning the nomination. As his record shows, though, Governor Kasich is much more "moderate" in rhetoric than he is in action. You know a guy can't be TOO moderate when even pro-lifer Donald Trump is lecturing him on the benefits of Planned Parenthood a week after he signed a bill to defund the family planning organization's services...

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
