Strife's not totally random list of destiny

Satorum
Bush
Kasich
Christie
Pataki
Fiorina
Graham
Huckabee
Carson
Paul
Rubio
Trump
Cruz


I think that any candidates that drop out within 24 hours of each other should qualify as tied, essentially.

13. President Trump, baby!

Good times ^^

The Pretentious Killjoy's guide to the 2016 GOP Primary

Rank  Name  Comment or predicted last words:
13) Graham  (is going to drop out on stage tonight)
12) Pataki  "Him?"
11) Paul  (has better things to do)
10) Kasich  (how is he still on the main stage?  he appears to be running for candidacy of a different party)
9) Huckabee  (enjoying his holiday but probably wants to get back on TV)
8) Fiorina  "Her?"
7) Christie  "everyone waiting around for the swearing, this is the part that happens."
6) Carson  "so are you saying New Hamshire doesn't like the bible stuff?  what are they muslim?"
5) Bush  "what do you mean I lost New Hamshire?"
4) Santorum  "to be honest I forgot I was running too"
3) Cruz  "who do I blame for this?"
2) Trump  "What do I name my new political party?"
1) Rubio  "I would like to introduce the future vice president of the united states, Nikki Haley"

I think that any candidates that drop out within 24 hours of each other should qualify as tied, essentially.

Well basically they do, we just use them for tiebreakers.  This crap is pretty random anyhow so it gives us one more randomizer in case the stars align.

Why are there so many candidates in the top debate?? It would seem more logical to slowly narrow them down so people can get more questions from them.

Trump takes his cues between Teddy Roosevelt but updates it to capitalize on the current love of swearing. Bullshit party 2016

Okay, here's my list:

13. Pataki
12. Huckabee
11. Santorum
10. Fiorina
9. Paul
8. Christie
7. Graham (I think Graham stays in until SC just because he's stubborn)
6. Carson
5. Bush (Bush has the money for a long run, but I think his backers will desert after he fails to win any primaries before March)
4. Kasich
3. Cruz
2. Rubio
1. Trump



Graham is gonna take a lot of flack for kissing King Abdullah's ass. (Not that I disagree...King Abdullah's a hoopy frood and our best friend in the region).

You have until Friday, any scores not in by midnight friday, EST will take a 13 day penalty per day they are late.  That does mean that after Lindsey Graham drops out on stage tonight and Pataki follows him upon learning that is allowed, everyone is allowed to adjust their rankings.

It didn't seem so much as ass-kissing than making a point about allies.

Does anybody know where one could watch the debate?

Yes, but the line "How do you think that makes the King of Jordan feel?" makes him sound like a pansy, to those folks who don't give a shit how anybody outside the US feels.

It's like 20 seconds delayed.

Aw man, I need my crazy now.

Huckabee thinks he's so smart but what is he going to do after the FBI gets radicalized from listening to sharia law all day?

Aw snap, Lindsey Graham lands the reverse slam dunk by standing up for muslims and getting applause!

That's a different country with different rules.

All I'm saying is don't underestimate people power.

Well I know that one of them has a history of mattering in a context while I have no information about the other.

The word "grandee" in a UK political context refers to a senior politician of some standing within a party, like a cabinet minister or ex-cabinet minister, or a lord/peer of some kind.

EDIT:

Unexpected Page-King. Here's a more useful post from someone else:

Here is one spot: http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/14/politics/republican-debate-live-updates/index.html  It's like 20 seconds delayed.
