The 2015 Republican presidential debate. Live, now on FOX. Miss it or risk a slightly higher marginal tax rate for rich people come 2017.
I'm beginning to remember your intelligent (and well versed) posts.

(21,925 posts)Not a knock on one of my favorite movies, 12 Angry Men, but these guys are angry. I expect the debate to be an opportunity for these guys to show that they're more pissed off than each other. Trump, for example, holds a lot of liberal ideas but the tea partiers love him because he's angry. Every time you hear a right winger say why they like trump, it's because he's angry.

Pass the popcorn!!!
