Damn, this dude even telling a lie about his lies that he lied about numerous times.

What a lying liar.

What a lying liar.

BUT look at his wording - "none of these things are lies"

It gives his followers SOMETHING to hold on to.  He admits he's been saying things that aren't true, then excuses it by saying it's not a lie to say untruths. 

Promised a scholarship by a man who records show, wasn't even in the city that night.  But facts don't matter to his followers, I think we all know that to be the case.

I think you are wasting a lot of effort on Carson. He will not be a candidate 10 months from now

Which of the R candidates do you think will? (prediction)

If I had to hazard a guess, Trump, Fiorina, Bush, Cruz, Huckabee and Rubio

At the same time?!

Meant to ask who you think will get nomination.

I really don't know at this time. In a perfect world, none of them would

Lol, so very true. 

I can't predict, either, with any confidence.  That's the problem with these kinds of candidates, is you never know wtf might happen.

Bush is likely to find a way to hang in as long as there's any chance for him whatsoever, imo.  His family and connections have the money to allow that to happen, anyway.

But funny thing is, he hasn't seemed very enthusiastic to be running.  He probably wants to return to his bong asap.

True.  But it's really funny to see how the base is currently supporting a compulsive liar to this degree.

In the end it will come down to Jeb.  All he has to do is keep quiet, smile, don't say stupid ass shit (I know, but he can at least try) and wait for the other candidates to implode.  That is the strategy that Romney used.  He stayed under the radar while the other candidates was talking about a moon colony, being faithful, the third thing they wanted to do but couldn't remember, etc....    In the end, he was just the last one standing.

I've  been really disappointed in many U.S. citizens lack of critical thinking skills in the last decade. I shouldn't be surprised but sometimes I still am. That Trump leads in some polls really makes me consider claiming another country as mine, as it is getting really embarrassing.

Yeah, jeb looks like Mccain 2008.  Media counting him out.  He's just flying coach and not saying stupid shit, as Carson tells us CT pyramid theories and goes on CNN to sell himself as a former multiple attempted murderer.

Jeb definitely still has a chance.
