GOP Presidential Debates
 
When they have Republican Presidential Debates, they're going to need 2 hours and an extra wide stage. All to hear 12-14 or so GOP candidates, who will not offer anything of substance of how THEY would fix problems; and use the entire 2 hours to bash Obama and how his policies of the last 6 years haven't worked. (and yes, '08 Democratic candidates did the same against Bush). They'll complain about high gas prices (wait, Fox said Bush had no control on gas prices in 2008, but Obama does); high unemployment (wait, that's down too), The low GDC (hmm that's up too), the Dow (nope, that's gone up pretty well at times), U.S. deficit (thinking he's cut that down too). Oh well.
 
P.S.: I do admit I'd like to hear from Ben Carson and Chris Christie.
 
Just my opinion, no more, no less

Did God tell all of them to run?

I'm looking forward to hearing more from Dr. Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina. I also hope Bobby Jindal will give some details from his plan to replace ObamaCare, once it's repealed.
Since Obama will not be running again, I assume the Republican candidates will focus more on Hillary Clinton's failings as a Senator and Secretary of State.

As I said, I hope Bobby Jindal will give details of his plan to replace ObamaCare. And Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina have interesting ideas as well that I hope they will share.
As for the rest, I was replying to Dennis' accusation that they all will "probably" spend their time bashing Obama. There is no need to do that. However, Hillary's mistakes as Secretary of State make her unfit to be Commander in Chief.
Oh...and I don't believe Chris Christie has formally entered the race.

Negative campaign ads and opponent bashing. It's what's for dinner. Every night. For the next 16 months or so.

@meanjarhead:
Yes, I'd be willing to put a Walker/Carson 2016 sign in my yard.

The R debates will be a comedy show. Or citizens united display of who is willing to feign ignorance in exchange for the most cash.

I hope Huckabee calls down fire from the heavens. That could be a game changer.
